A Cozy Game For Christmas - Lake Review
Today, as the Christmas review, I will be covering a game in a genre which I usually don’t play much, the so called “cozy” games, my only experience with the genre being some Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, Stardew Valley, and My Time At Sandrock. Why pick a cozy game? Well, since there is no such thing as a good Christmas game, as the holiday itself can’t really carry a whole game, I thought “maybe pick something which goes with the spirit of Christmas,” so I started looking at the...
Fatal Vengeance Lurking In The Shadows
I know some of you are like me, enjoying a game that some or even most people disliked. Honestly I wouldn’t have thought of playing this one if it weren’t for Cap’n @Zerpina posting a gameplay on her YouTube channel. I really liked the series in general even though I only played three games in the series, the first two games on the PS1 and that forgettable NDS game Dark Secret. Tenchu Kurenai or Tenchu Fatal Shadows outside Japan is the fourth mainline entry in the series of this ninja...
Hotel Dusk - Lies, regret and bowling
And here we are with another review. Christmas is approaching, and today we’re reviewing a game that it’s set on the Holidays: Hotel Dusk. This game is a hidden gem from the Nintendo DS, which is shame because it deserved a lot more recognition, for reasons that you will know more about later on in the review. One of the reasons that i can tell you right now is the writing, which is pretty good. For this reason, i wanted to do something different in this review. I wrote a prologue to the...
Going Old School - Brigand: Oaxaca Review
Have you ever asked yourself, what if we fused Morrowind, Deus Ex, and Fallout? Well, look no further, this game is… an experience alright, not meant for the faint of heart, very janky, its flat out unfair, player hostile, and with an engine barely held together by duct tape and elbow grease. This game, truly is the definition of an acquired taste. Brian Lancaster aka Laughing Coyote, part-time game dev, full time mad lad, managed to make this absolute gem of a game. I know nothing...
Xuan-Yuan Sword III: Mists Beyond the Mountains , Hidden Gem from Taiwan
Xuan-Yuan Sword III: Mists Beyond the Mountains was released in 1999 exclusively for PC's in Taiwan, 24 Years late in 2023 the game received a modern PC and Nintendo Switch port with English support. When it first released I was so happy to see this game finally received a English Port, before I had only seen screenshots of it but I had felt in love with it, specially because it reminded me of SaGa frontier one of my favorite PS1 games, but when the review of it came out, I was...
UNDERTALE YELLOW: A late anniversary gift to a great Fangame
Bakuma is sad, Undertale’s birthday is over, Deltarune doesn’t release chapter 5 until next year and even then, he can’t afford it, if only Christmas came sooner Bakuma: Who I have to shot to get more Undertale, with characters that feel like made by Toby, memorable plot and polished Gameplay? The moon shined… before dimming again Bakuma: Even I don’t know what was that supposed to… *Get Noscoped directly in the snout by a paperboy, the package is removed revealing a game box* Well… Wait...
X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse; An Astonishing Sequel
Aliens, Terminator 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Bride of Frankenstein. Diablo 2, Resident Evil 2, Batman: Arkham City. Second Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Doctor Sleep. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Se- alright, do you get what I'm putting down here yet? I'm running out of off-the-cuff sequels. Those are all sequels that are considered at least equal to their predecessors, if not better than the original. Making a successful follow up to something already well received...
True Crime Hong Kong - Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition Review
Saw this one with a pretty hefty discount, since I remember liking the original game when I played it back when it was 1st released in 2012, and haven’t played the definitive edition, well, here we are. Originally meant as the 3rd installment in the True Crime series, with (at the time) Activision wanting United Front to give a little revival to the series after the financial failure which was True Crime New York City, with the game set to release as True Crime Hong Kong. Yet, Activision...
A Somewhat Grand Finale - Mary Skelter Finale Review
The time has come, to cover the grand finale to the Mary Skelter series, everyone knows that 3 is the magic number after all. If you are just joining… Weird that you start with the review for Finale, but you do you, I am reviewing the Mary Skelter series in the recommended play order, so, that means Mary Skelter 2, Mary Skelter Nightmares, and Mary Skelter Finale. This game did have some issues while in development, not too big, but worth noting, for instance, its the most censored one in...
