Flat Heroes Review

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

Flat Heroes, by Parallel Circles, provides a deceptively challenging adventure through a minimalistic approach. A loosely tied story, paired with a dynamic multiplayer system provides a quick-paced experience for players to enjoy.  Continue reading Flat Heroes Review

Moonlighter Review

SHOPKEEPER BY DAY,
MONSTER SLAYER BY NIGHT

Moonlighter, Digital Sun’s premiere game, is an intriguing roguelike action-RPG that meshes dungeon crawling with economic savviness.

Vampyr Review

A Spoonful of Blood Helps The Medicine Go Down

In a refreshing sense of the times, Vampyr is an intriguing new interpretation of the vampire mythos.

Assassin’s Creed Origins Review

ASSASSIN’S CREED IS BACK

 

Assassin’s Creed Origins is less of a continuation but more of evolution for the decade-long franchise. As a long time fan since 2010 with Assassin’s Creed 2, I can admit that the gameplay of the franchise hasn’t been that great.

THROWBACK HORROR

 

One needs only to glance at my history as a writer to see that Resident Evil is my favorite video game series.
