Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden isn’t the first video game to be adapted from a tabletop game, and it certainly won’t be the last. That being said, while most titles end up being based on large properties like Dungeons and Dragons or Warhammer, this game instead opts to flesh out the world of Mutant,

It’s been 14 years since the King of All Cosmos destroyed all of the stars and moon in his drunken stupor. More importantly, it’s been that long since The Prince of All Cosmos came down with a Katamari to roll everything on Earth up (and I mean everything) to rebuild the moon and stars for
The very beginning of Capy Games’ (Capy) Below offers a taste of what you’ll come to experience as you venture down into the depths of their rouge-lite dungeon crawler. The camera is pulled way back over a stormy sea; thunder cracking all around as the waves roll. Slowly tracking in, a small boat comes into
Few indie games are able to command the internet’s attention on the level that Bendy and the Ink Machine has. Doki Doki Literature Club, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Undertale certainly make the list, but something about Bendy, the game’s Golden Age art style, and the elaborate horror story underneath has flooded store shelves and YouTube channels. However, unlike the previously-listed
Musical rhythm games have always interested me. I think music can make or break a game, so to see a title centered around the medium will almost always catch my eye. Aaero: Complete Edition centers around Electronic Dance Music, a genre that I’ve been particularly fond of for awhile. So when I saw the trailer for
Usually you’ll find in my reviews that if a game has solid gameplay mechanics, then I’ll more than likely be a fan of it. While there are far more factors that make up a quality gaming experience other than the gameplay alone, it’s often one the biggest ones when it comes to my own personal
Desert Child is a very confusing game. The premise of the game is very simple, get to Mars, participate in the Grand Prix. To do so you will need to save up enough money to buy in, with multiple avenues of earning, and even more so for spending, that money. However, once you’ve filled up
When I think back on the original Super Smash Bros., I reflect back to when I was a kid, roughly around elementary/middle school age, and when I would play that Nintendo 64 classic endlessly. Those where the days when after getting home from school, I would spend hours in a bean bag chair in the basement,
With the Nintendo Switch acting as both a portable and home console, the possibilities it proves are quite unique. Games for the platform can embody the usual traits of current day HD console games, or they can be designed for quick pick up and play sessions meant to be experienced in handheld mode. By finally
There have been very few times throughout my gaming life that I really look forward to playing a game and that said game ends up living up to my expectations. Usually what happens is that it’s nothing that I thought it would be — the story isn’t very well done, or it’s just not very
The Last Remnant Remastered is sort of a weird release from Square Enix. There was no hype behind it, there weren’t many fans (as far as I know) clamoring for this 2008 title to be re-released on a modern console and yet here we are. Overall, The Last Remnant Remastered is a fine game, but the lack
I’ll be the first to admit I was somewhat tepid and hesitant going into Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!. I was disappointed by last year’s Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as they made some parts of their predecessors worse. Coming into this entry, I saw the stripping away of traditional battles for something more akin to the
If you talk to me for any amount of time you’ll likely learn that I’m a huge Dark Souls fan. I could be wearing a Dark Souls T-shirt, or sporting my PSN name “Chloranthy Ring.” I’ve played through Dark Souls 3 more times than I can remember in order to get the ROFAP +3 on all
Every now and then you come across a game that you completely underestimate and a short way in you begin to become overwhelmed. Battle Princess Madelyn is a title that you’d expect to be somewhat easy seeing as it was co-created by a seven-year-old, but instead, it became one of the hardest Metroidvania’s I’ve played this year. In my
I’ve been evangelizing to friends and colleagues who haven’t played the Darksiders series in anticipation of Darksiders III. The action franchise that saw its first installment release back in 2010 was incredibly under-the-radar when it hit store shelves, and despite it having many commonalities with other more notable franchises, it did a lot of cool things
The Phantom Thieves are back again with Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight for the PS4 and PS Vita. The rhythm genre and Persona isn’t anything new, with Persona 4 having previously received its own dancing title. But Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight brings its own identity and style that keeps me coming back for more. Persona 5 Dancing, or P5D for short,
I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear as I booted up Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight on my PS Vita. A Persona game on PS Vita… in 2018. “Holy crap,” I thought to myself. This in and of itself is an absolute treat for fans who got their start with the series playing Persona 4 Golden. Thankfully,
You might take control of a young, upper-class girl who grew up isolated from society due to her over-protective father’s fear, but that doesn’t stop Nairi becoming a strong protagonist in Nairi: Tower of Shirin. A story filled with mystery, discovery, lies, and friendship, this point-and-click title looks visually wonderful and tells a strong story, but
It’s hard to imagine Bethesda’s pitch for Fallout 76. “We have a huge dedicated player base for our single-player franchise. We should take away all of their favorite parts of the game and have these traditionally-isolated players play together.” Fallout 76 tears down the divisions between players by allowing them to play cooperatively. What’s left standing, however, is
In my time playing Omen of Sorrow, I played as all sorts of ghouls, creatures, and monster slayers. From training mode, to the story, to multiplayer, Omen of Sorrow has the setup for a fighting game with plenty of potential: I just wonder if it is something worth coming back to again. Omen of Sorrow is a 2.5D
Three years ago, EA and DICE released Star Wars Battlefront, a recreation of the classic Battlefront series for a new age. While the game had a lot of promise, the main complaint from many was that it didn’t contain enough content at launch and the content that was on its way would only be via the game’s
When thinking about racing games, the mind usually strays quite quickly to massive names such as Need For Speed which celebrates wildly popular releases on an annual basis and even saw a big-budget movie adaptation. However, some fantastic but reletively unknown racers got buried in the annals of time that are now seen as gems
While there are a ton of musings around the internet on whether the FPS or MOBA genres are fading into obscurity, there is one that is unreservedly buried in the graveyard: mini-golf games. Which is kind of a shame. Sure, there is plenty of love for the arcade golf games like the Mario Golf series or the more
When I play an arcade game, there are many facets that can make it good. Music, art style, and replayability are all important when making an arcade package. However, there is only one characteristic that elevates that good game into a great game. When I approach that towering cabinet – or in this case, when
Before I delve into LEGO DC Super-Villains, it’s important to take my history with the LEGO series into account. While I’ve fallen out of playing LEGO games in recent years, the series is a pivotal part of the formation of my love of gaming. The first home console I used frequently was the original Xbox,
While Nintendo has gotten especially good in the past years at coming up with interesting twists on the Mario series — giving us everything from Mario Tennis, to Mario Kart, to Captain Toad, and beyond — few were willing to go as far as Luigi’s Mansion. Set in a completely different style from the likes of his brother, Luigi’s Mansion gave
One of the oldest staples in any arcade is the Beat ‘Em Up game. From Final Fight to The Simpsons Arcade Game many gamers, myself included, have some fond memories of the genre. Now fast forward to 2018, and Capcom releases a bundle full of their classics from the genre called the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle. The
There is beautiful simplicity to DMM Games’ Gal Metal — a rhythm game without burdensome pre-set melodies or on-screen prompts, or licensed music for that matter. All that exists is a quirky alien invasion story, an adorable artstyle, and percussion-based gameplay that will really speak to any skill level, provided that you can carry a beat.
Most digital marketplaces are currently flooded with horror titles to coincide with the spookiest season of the year. Blood-splattered franchises like Resident Evil, Amnesia, Friday the 13th, and an entire catalog of games with the word “Dead” in their titles are all supplying scares for discounted prices. However, there’s no denying that a horror-based haul
I have distinct memories of playing the PlayStation 1 game Nicktoons Racing as a child—while I realize that it likely wouldn’t hold up if I played it today, especially compared to other games I played back then like Mario Kart 64 and Crash Team Racing, it had some appeal to me as a kid who
