HYPERGUN - Review (PC)

Chances are when aliens finally do attack, we will have little time to react and formulate a plan of action. But if the belligerent extraterrestrials were so kind as to provide us with a bit of advanced notice, how would we go about creating an effective arsenal to defend ourselves with? Developer NVYVE Studios has the answer with its new rougelite first person shooter, HYPERGUN. It gives the player a near unlimited amount of weapon combinations to experiment with in an effort to give mankind a fighting chance against unwelcome invaders. It unfortunately falters with its inability to have the same creative approach to challenge as it does with weapon configuration.

Gucamelee! 2 Shines As One Of The Best In Its Genre - Review (PS4)

Since the release of the first Guacamelee!, and also the lesser known Mutant Blobs Attack, Drinkbox Studios has become one of the premiere indie game studios. Known for their signature art style of bright contrasting colors with a simplistic but also superb aesthetic, they've caught the attention of many fans. Following up the more experimental touch-based game Severed, Drinkbox has returned the world of luchadors and fighting chickens with Guacamelee! 2. At first glance, it might look like a pretty basic retread of the original with beat'em up combat and a drip feed of new moves and abilities. Look past the surface though, and Guacamelee! 2 is much more than a simple revamp of its predecessor with a fresh coat of paint.

Platted That! - God of War (2018)

Welcome back to Platted That! This week we're going to do a quick rundown of the biggest hit (so far) of 2018, and one of the best console exclusives ever made. While we would have preferred a more unique title to distinguish this sequel from its predecessors, one that didn't force us to refer to the game as "God of War (2018)," we loved returning to the saga of Kratos and enjoyed the challenging but very doable Platinum Trophy it came with.

Graveyard Keeper Is Worthy To Keep From Getting Buried - Review (PC)

Look both ways when you cross the street; otherwise, Graveyard Keeper could provide an explanation for the age old question of, "What is beyond this life?" According to the developers from Lazy Bear Games, the afterlife is full of bouncing cognizant skulls, autopsies, burials, cannibalism, local politics, and apparently the expectation to either become a preacher or join a cult. Sounds pretty run of the mill, right? Sure, this game can easily be analogized to Stardew Valley and other similar games, but there are a myriad of other reasons as to why this is only a shallow description of Graveyard Keeper.

Should You Take Your Joy Before Playing We Happy Few? - Review (PC)

Though only the second game to date from Compulsion Games, We Happy Few proves one thing about the studio – they know how to create a captivating world to explore. The studio's follow up to 2013’s Contrast is an incredibly ambitious title that has grown leaps and bounds since it first hit Early Access nearly two years ago. Their ambition growth as a team paid off in some ways and in other ways they seemed to miss the mark.
