Game Reviews

"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." - Carl Sagan No Man's Sky is finally here, and it has completely divided critics and gamers alike. It feels strange to be writing those words. Since...

I have played a ton of video games over the years. RPGs, visual novels, rhythm games; you name it and I’ve probably dipped my feet in the genre. Never in my life have I seen...

I’ve played a lot of RPGs over the years, and many of them have romance elements in them somewhere. Yet Conception 2: Children of the Seven Stars takes it a step further, blending elements from...

There are plenty of games out there that have you in the shoes of police officers. The SWAT and Police Quest franchies come to mind, as well as the likes of Rainbow Six. These games all have common themes, however. Rainbow...

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is an epic end to a stellar trilogy. Everything about this game is epic, big, and in your face. Sonic and Sonic 2 are incredible games in their own right but this is Sega displaying absolute...

It's a great time to be alive if you're a fan of Doom and Wolfenstein. Bethesda made sure we got some wonderful updates to the series and, well, if for some reason that isn't enough for you...

About eighteen months ago, I gave the lowest score of my career to a game that rode the “you get what you pay for” train to an infuriating degree. Since then I've been wary of...

Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate is the fifth instalment in the long-running Shiren the Wanderer roguelike franchise. Having originally been released in 2010 on the Nintendo DS as a Japan...

Chambara is another one of those games that was crafted out of admiration for the split-screen arena shooters from back when you actually had to have friends to experience the multiplayer modes that games, like...

Final Fantasy mobile games are BIG right now. With some of the classics being released on smartphones, as well as Final Fantasy: Record Keeper and Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius being heavily popular, this is a...

Telltale Games are quite noted for their grim, gritty take on the backstories of already famous plots. Playing lore to shows like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones and adding unique content with The...

Contrary to what most gamers believe, From Software made games before the Souls series. Don't feel bad: I was taken aback by that as well. Luckily, I had already purchased this and the sequel before...

In 2009, Little King's Story released for the Nintendo Wii and received critical acclaim. Little King's Story is now coming to Steam! In Little King's Story, you play as a boy named Corobo who stumbles...

Rising Islands is an interesting game; it certainly grabbed my attention as 3D platformers have become somewhat of a rarity in video games lately. Even rarer is both the fact that they are indie games,...

Even though Minecraft: Story Mode (created by Telltale Games) has turned into a series with an overarching plot without a major presence, it was clear the series had to end at some point. It was obvious they...

**Minor spoilers for Abzu below** "The story of ABZÛ is a universal myth that resonates across cultures. The name references a concept from the oldest mythologies; it is the combination of the two ancient words...

Oregon Trail is, I admit, one of the core titles that seem part of the video game consciousness that I simply have not played. Although, rather than having no reason, like usual, I do have...

Many farming simulation games are set in lush, fertile farmland out in the country. We play as a farmer, tending his or her cattle, and don’t think much about it. Voodoo Garden turns this idea...

Welcome to Retro Review Friday! Be sure to stop by BagoGames each Friday and join us as we dive into the vault and take a look back at a Retro game! During the SNES era,...

When I was younger, I spent most of my free time in my parent's basement Rec Room. This was my safe haven, home to all of my video games and my vast collection of sitcoms....

After finally picking this up during PlayStation Network's Superhero Sale last week, I was able to play Gravity Rush Remastered, but is it worth purchasing again for the PS4? Most definitely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMGaMOyr0GI And here's the main reason....

The car combat genre feels like a product of the '90s that never quite managed to meet the modern era. Even popular titles like Twisted Metal tried to modernize and establish new fans to the series. It...

This article was published to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog and the announcement of his new games. What better way to celebrate his recent success than via retro reviews? Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released...

Physics-based puzzlers always strike me as unique in a very particularly interesting way: it doesn't matter how you get to B from A, just that you simply do. As much as I sometimes enjoy puzzle/adventure...

It was 1990 and Nintendo was still on top of the gaming industry, largely in part due to the third entry in the Super Mario Bros. series. Sega needed a big hit and they needed...

I've always thought that "casual" games never get a fair chance with "core" gamers. I think we feel threatened by their existence because we worry about them affecting "our games". It's silly though. They really...
