Enotria: The Last Song is a sunny soulslike that has an unusual sense of joy on the surface—but there’s a lot of dark stuff going on underneath. You can rest assured that your skills will be tested in typical genre fashion, and especially during the ga...
Visions of Mana is a predominantly linear game, but Chapter Seven throws a curveball. With three boss fights against the Benevodons down and only five to go, you can choose to take on the next four elemental demons in any order you like. It’s a vaguely...
Of all the games I’ve played this year, Children of the Sun is far and away the most hostile. This trippy shooter follows The Girl, a survivor of The Cult’s abuses, as she takes her revenge on them and The Leader. Yes, those terms are all capitalized p...
When it comes to ranking Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series, you’re really just ranking a group of top-tier games. A list ranking the Zelda series is a list of bangers, and even the “worst” entry is better than most other games. So don’t get mad if your...
Visions of Mana looks cute and casual on the surface, but underneath lies some surprisingly deep team building. Each of the five characters can eventually equip one of eight classes, each with their own Elemental Plot invested in with Elemental Points....

Making a sequel to an amazing game is hard enough, but with each subsequent entry that task gets even harder. So while 1991's point-and-click adventure game Monkey Island 2 is seen as a stunning improvement over its predecessor, the more the series wen...
With multiple planets to explore, and quests that send you far and wide across the vast landscapes, traversing the likes of Toshara on foot is a fool’s errand. You need a fast-moving vehicle, and the game provides you with an iconic speeder bike relati...
Two game genres that never seem to click with me are roguelikes and deck-builders (I know, sue me), so it came as a shock when I found myself loving Inscryption. The 2021 title from developer Daniel Mullins is both of those genres mashed together. As y...
If you played God of War: Ragnarok on PlayStation, then punctuating your declarations about how bloody marvelous it is, you will almost inevitably have cried, “STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!” For some reason, Ragnarok is absolutely convinced that you’re s...
Survival and city-building mashup Frostpunk 2 is set to release in just a couple days on September 20, and fans couldn’t be more excited. That hype is due to just how good its predecessor, 2018’s Frostpunk, is. If you haven’t played the original game, ...
