Teeto review

Shane Nakamura — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:06:33 +0000

As publishers continue chasing sprawling open worlds, live-service action, and cinematic spectacle, it can be easy to forget just how satisfying a well-crafted 3D collectathon can be. After a long workday, few things are more cathartic than a colorful world, a couple of clever mechanics, and gathering a couple hundred scattered items. Fortunately, Eat Pant …

Culdcept Begins review

Robert Allen — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:18:22 +0000

2003’s Culdcept (a PlayStation 2 localization of the Japanese release, Culdcept Second Expansion) arrived in the West at the wrong time. Strategy games were still fighting for mainstream attention, collectible card games were relatively rare on consoles, and many reviews focused less on the game’s ingenuity than on its purportedly intimidating rule set. The general …

The best simulations make you appreciate the intricacies of an industry. Farming sims can reveal the logistics behind cultivating a bountiful harvest, city builders might show the balancing act behind a thriving municipality, and games like Football Manager could transform a sport into a spreadsheet.

Biomechanical Toy review

Robert Allen — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:51:53 +0000

By 1995, the run-and-gun was surging in popularity. Contra had initiated the genre eight years prior, Metal Slug was just months away, and numerous developers were delivering their own take on the genre. Spanish developer Zeus Software and publisher Gaelso responded with a blend of action and absurdity known as Biomechanical Toy. Rather than suppressing …

70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X review

Robert Allen — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:42:43 +0000

Some games are inspired by anime. But 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X thinks it is one. Originally released for the PlayStation in 1999, developer Aroma structured each stage as if it were an episode of a Shōwa-era animation. With its opening themes, eye catches, farcical ads, ending themes, and even next-episode previews, much of Geppy-X could …

Be Missed and Remembered: The Letter from Mayoiga review

Shane Nakamura — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 02:52:05 +0000

Visual novels often have a soft spot for memory and regret. Undoubtedly, Be Missed and Remembered: The Letter from Mayoiga has a deep-rooted appreciation for these concepts.

Moonlight Peaks review

Shane Nakamura — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 04:26:53 +0000

The cozy game boom has been both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, there’s no shortage of wholesome titles built around farming, crafting, fishing, and befriending a cast of villagers. On the other, familiarity has become the genre’s greatest weakness, with many releases feeling like interchangeable variations on the same, well-worn formula. Moonlight …

Sweet Hamster Days review

Robert Allen — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 04:48:00 +0000

With its isekai setup and gravure appeal, it’s hardly surprising that Sweet Hamster Days’ Steam page was briefly delisted. But once again, Valve’s stance seems overly reactionary. Sure, there’s a bit of leering in Hamster Days, but there’s also a significant amount of character development, as the game gradually reveals the backstories of the three …

Pawsome Resort, Pixel Puffs It’s difficult to write about a new cozy life sim without referencing Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.

Destroy All Humans! review

Robert Allen — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 18:00:27 +0000

Black Forest Games’ remake of Destroy All Humans! remains a compelling reminder that playing the villain can be far more entertaining than saving the world, especially when you’re flinging civilians across farmland with telekinetic force. On Switch 2, the experience benefits from improved hardware, but it still carries some of the technical compromises and design …
