Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment (PC/Steam)
It’s been two years since I last visited the Shovel Knight franchise, and at that time I was highly impressed with Plague of Shadows, which was the first expansion on the base game, Shovel of Hope. In that one, Yacht Club Games was able to successfully build upon the lore of the series, adding depth…
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers (PC/Steam)
C-C-C-Combo Breaker! I had been keeping up with weekly articles for a few months, but LEGO Marvel’s Avengers turned out to be the game that broke the streak. Basically this boils down to the fact that I only review games I’ve beaten, and I don’t necessarily beat a game every week. I’m sure my devoted…
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered (PC/Steam)
It seems to me that we humans have some kind of natural affinity for the number three. If we can figure out a way to apply some variation of a “Rule of Three” to our lives, we’ll have already done it before you can count to … oh dang, I almost did it. From the…
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy: Crash Bandicoot (PC/Steam)
Aw Crash Bandicoot, you’ll always be a solid number ten in our hearts. The tenth best selling game on PS1 that is. And while that might sound like “damning with faint praise”, it slots Crash Bandicoot directly in between Metal Gear Solid (at the #9 slot) and Resident Evil 2 (at #11). So pretty impressive…
Cuphead (PC/Steam)
As this blog has taken shape over the years, I’ve made reference to the fact that the original intent was to gather up game reviews I’d previously written into a single source repository. Any article beginning with a “Review archived from [Date]” citation originally appeared somewhere else. What I’ve never made explicitly clear was that…
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: Halo: CE Anniversary (PC/Steam)
Halo: The Master Chief Collection: Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary sure is helluva a verbose title isn’t it? All those colons! So! Our first order of business here is to make that word salad a bit more palatable. For the remainder of the review I’m just going to refer to the game by its original working…
Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from April 15, 2023) Shovel Knight is one of the finest examples of what I’d consider to be ‘the golden age of modern retro-style games,’ a period of time I’d loosely bound as being between the years of 2010 and 2015. These days you practically can’t even skip a loose Super Metroid cart…
Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon (PC/GOG)
(Review archived from February 20, 2023) One of the fun aspects of the Space Quest series thus far is that, is that the ongoing story transitions seamlessly from one game to the next. So rather than an episodic format, each game picks up from (more or less) where the previous one ended. It’s a nice…
She and The Light Bearer (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 12, 2023) She and the Light Bearer is a game with personality and heart, that much is clear. What we have here is a point and click adventure game with a gorgeous dreamy art style that serves well as backdrop for the creation myth fable it conveys. It’s a game that…
