Has-Been Heroes Review

out of 5
There was a point about two hours into Has-Been Heroes that I finally realized that after the countless deaths and the aimless meandering through the story that it just wasn't going to get any better. I pushed on, sending my group of washed up heroes deeper into a seemingly random-generated map, not even completely sure what I was supposed to be doing, and juggling all three heroes using the Nintendo Switch's Joy Cons, but the fun, or the idea of…  Read More

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is a new action RPG from newly-founded indie French developer Enigami. A completely original world and characters, the concept was first created as a manga 20 years ago by the game’s Creative Director. He got the game funded by Kickstarter in 2014 and it has taken Enigami a little longer than they anticipated to finally release Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom. Was it worth the wait? At first glance Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom looks to be an…  Read More

‘The Fate Of The Furious’ Review: Like Watching Toy Box Porn

4.2
out of 5
Something occurred to me about 40 minutes into Universal Pictures' The Fate Of The Furious. These films are wildly popular, even though they defy all logic, have some of the worst dialogue ever written, are sometimes insulting to the mere idea of intelligence, and are so over the top in almost every way that the audience can't help but get their adrenaline pumping after watching them. But when you take a step back, these films are nothing more than the toy…  Read More

New Frontier Days - Founding Pioneers Review
3.0
out of 5
New Frontier Days - Founding Pioneers, from publisher Arc System Works, on the Nintendo Switch brings the young console hybrid its first sim-type game. In the shadow of the amazingly great Zelda, the Switch has needed other quality titles for gamers to play until the next big release, and while a bunch of NEO-GEO ports and some other fun ports have made their way to the hot Nintendo handheld/console crossover, fun, quality NEW games are still few and far between. New Frontier…  Read More

4.0
out of 5
The Inner World is part of a recent trend to convert indie mobile games to indie console games. Developed by German game makers, Studio Fizbin, and originally released in 2013 for Android and iOS, The Inner World was impressive enough to make the transition to PC, Xbox One, and now Playstation 4. Harken to the times of point-and-click adventures, players follow the adventure of young Robert, an Asposian, as he learns his whole life is a lie and must save…  Read More
