in VideogamesCoffee Talk: The Game Where You Never Expected a Plot Twist
A couple of weeks ago I found myself scrolling through my partner’s collection of previously downloaded Xbox Live Gold games, and stumbled across a visual novel called Coffee Talk. I’ll admit, at first, I didn’t think much of it seeing the screenshots of elves and werewolves, and figured it would be a story playing out […] More

The Best Game Boy Themed Indies on Switch
There’s certainly no shortage of retro inspired indies on the Nintendo Switch.

Viola: The Heroine’s Melody Review
Over the last few years, more and more games have come out with lighter themes and overall more wholesome aesthetics. While some use this as a front and have darker, serious undertones (see Undertale, Pony Island) the idea of a purely feel-good game has always been something I’ve been interested in. I play games to unwind, to […] More

Cyber Shadow Pushes Action-Platforming Difficulty to Its Limits
In my day 1 review of Mechanical Head Studios’ Cyber Shadow, I stated that my primary concern was how it would evolve the movement mechanics of the ninja you play as. Curiously, it’s over halfway through the game that you have a completed repertoire; you can wall jump, double jump, send projectiles flying back at […] More

My Favourite Tech Nostalgic Games
Computers and technology in general move at a blinding pace, and quite often it makes me think back to when everything was clunkier, slower, and more complicated. I used to have a Palm Pilot my Dad lent me that could hold maybe 5 songs tops that I’d have to switch around when I wanted to listen […] More

Casual Indie Games I’m Looking Forward to in 2021
While action games still rule the world, the casual, laid back experiences have their place too. I love to kick back and get my farm on in things like Stardew Valley or Graveyard Keeper (that tried and true gameplay loop of reaping, sowing, and reaping again). Puzzles are another go to, some of my recent favourites […] More

I am one of those people that, if you put a game on the Nintendo Switch, I’m much more likely to play it. I love the portability of it and the ability to just pick it up whenever I have a few spare minutes in between tasks. The vast majority of the games on my […] More
