All reviewsTorment: Tides Of Numenera2017
4 out of 5 starsBlack Isle Studios 's 1999 RPG Planescape: Torment was a singular experiment for the popular Infinity Engine : one that strongly emphasized quality writing, role-playing and deeply philosophical ideas in a strange, almost alienating setting and pushed what was then standard to the genre - in particular, combat and showy cutscenes - to the sidelines. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that it was a game only…
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight2016
4 out of 5 starsIn a curse-ravaged kingdom, bereft of hope, a single savior emerges from the wilderness to provide salvation before all falls to permanent darkness. This is the rough outline of the plot to Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (which really has a title more befitting of a Touhou spin-off), the latest game from small Indie studio Bombservice and the first of theirs to be available on Steam. However, it is also the…
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus2013
3 out of 5 starsRatchet & Clank occupies a strange part of the video game players' minds in this day and age, where each new iteration becomes less and less observed. Despite being as good as it ever was, and that there are a large number of people who harbor a great fondness for the series as one of the PS2's early breakout hits, it seems to have fallen off everyone's radars. An imminent multimedia relaunch of the franchise, which…
Full Bore2013
5 out of 5 starsIt's hard to begin to describe Full Bore without discussing the plethora of sources it draws from to create a puzzle game that is, on the whole, actually fairly distinctive. It's partially a SpaceWhipper : that sort of non-linear exploration-heavy 2D platformer where avenues can be investigated in an order of one's choosing and you have a map that tells you what rooms still have points of interest to discover. It…

Sep 12, 2026
The only true way to escape the dog days of summer is to shrink yourself down and enter a dog, where it's probably a perfectly reasonable temperature. BioGun is a shooter style exploraction game where your enemies are viruses and pathogens and your power-ups are enzymes and antibiotics. Just try not to think too much about where you're walking around.
64 in 64: Episode 54—Plats All, Folks! Part Six
Sep 11, 2026
We're back once again with another two N64 platformers to critique after spending a mere (though it certainly felt like plenty) sixty-four minutes with each, and Episode 54 proves true the old adage that you should never work with children or animals.
Indie Game of the Week 483: Nobody Wants to Die
Sep 5, 2026
Neo neo noir abounds in this first-person detective adventure set in a dystopian future where no-one ever dies, at least not without the government's permission. I had a joke about taking umbrage with the title but I'll save the rough chuckles for the more thematically apropos winter months.
64 in 64: Episode 53—Plats All, Folks! Part Five
Sep 5, 2026
This "Oops, All Platformers" season of 64 in 64 (the internet's favorite N64 game ranking show in my mind) continues with Episode 53, in which the early bear and bird get the worm. Or at least I wish they did. Someone needs to get that thing before it can cause any more mental anguish.
Mento's Month: August '26
Aug 29, 2026
Did you know? The month of August was so named because after one long and humid summer that offered no relief the first cool breezes of autumn would arrive, leading the luminary figures of the time to exclaim "ahh, gust." More true facts like these can be found in this month's appraisal of all things games and anime.
Indie Game of the Week 482: Doomblade
Aug 29, 2026
As we get older our tastes in media invariably change, maturing to befit our many years of experiences on this planet while we leave behind the cool and edgy frivolities of our childhood. So this week I'm playing a game called Doomblade because it lets me swing a big doomblade around and it makes all the bad guys go "splorch!" and "kablaow!".
