⚔️ Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes | Review | "bonkers’… but bland" ⚔️ @marvelous_games @suda_51

The newest entry in Suda51’s No More Heroes franchise is an odd one.

The neon-tinged, smash-cut, in-your-face and zany presentation just doesn’t match up with the gameplay which, whilst having moments of intensity, is surprisingly repetitive and ultimately a bit boring.

🌾🍅 Harvest Moon: Mad Dash | REVIEW | "Don’t Dilly-Dally" 🌾🍅 HarvestMoonMadDash

Most of us are familiar with and have probably played at least one in this very cutesy role-playing, farm simulation game series.

If you haven’t, you should go and do so now (You know I’m right)!

The series first hit our good, old-fashioned CRT monitors in Japan back in 1996 with the first game in the series, Harvest Moon, on the Super Nintendo (Yes, I was around then, I was a decade old!). Since then the franchise has evolved greatly and has been seen across many platforms - mostly Nintendo - but also PlayStation and IOS.

🕵️‍♀️ Deadly Premonition: Origins | REVIEW | Nintendo Switch "an unholy union of survival horror and a detective game" 🕵️‍♀️ @NumskullGames #IndieGame #GameDev

There's a line in Ghostbusters where Ray says that the blueprints for Dana's apartment building were drawn by "either a certified genius or an authentic wacko", and that sums up exactly how I feel about this game.

Deadly Premonition: Origins is, at its core, an unholy union of survival horror and a detective game. You play FBI Agent Francis York Morgan (everybody calls him York, apparently), who's been called in to solve the grisly murder of a local girl.

🤔🏰 Sojourn - REVIEW - "Treguard's Puzzle Palace" 🏰🤔 #IndieGames #GameDev

Excuse me. Sorry. One moment. I’m just thumbing through a dog-eared dictionary.

Ah, here we are, sandwiched between ‘soixante-neuf’ and ‘solace’. 

Sojourn. A noun meaning ‘a temporary stay’.

There’s certainly an ephemeral flavour to Shifting Tides’ new puzzle game of that name, but such is the difficulty of some levels (controller-snappingly so at times), temporary was not necessarily the word I’d use. 

I over-stayed my patience on a few puzzles, I can tell you.

🕵️‍♂️ Call of Cthulhu - REVIEW - (Nintendo Switch) - "My First First Lovecraft Inspired Game" 🔎 #GameDev #IndieGames

Call Of Cthulu was released last year on PS4, Steam, Xbox One and it's now on my favourite console this month, the Nintendo Switch.

Call Of Cthulu follows the release of another game based on one of Lovecraft stories; The Sinking City which came to the Switch on September 12th 2019. 

The stories of H.P. Lovecraft have been in so many different games, they should have a studio based on just Mr Lovecraft's stories!

The video game is an adaption of the role-playing game of the same name as the book from 1981. The role-playing game was actually based on the book sharing the same name that was released in 1926.

⚔️ The Surge 2 - REVIEW - "The Best ‘Dark Souls-esque’ Game I’ve Played" ⚔️ #TheSurge2

Having never played the original ‘The Surge’ and, upon reading into it, finding out that it was dismissed by some as a Dark Souls clone, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from the Surge 2. 

After spending several hours with it, I was surprised to find that, whilst it does come from that genre of difficulty being a focused gameplay feature, it’s a really strong and involving example of the style that absorbed me far more than I was anticipating.

🛩️🗺️ 80 Days - REVIEW [Nintendo Switch] - "Jump On The Robot Horse & Carriage From Dubrovnik To Belgrade" 🗺️🛩️ #GameDev #IndieGames

80 Days was originally a mobile game, then it was ported to the PC, and now it's made its way to the Nintendo Switch.

It fits well on the Switch with its massive library of hidden gems.

The game is a text-based game of old but mixed with a steampunk theme and with an added animation style of its own.

Throughout the game, you need to make sure your master's health is maintained and that you have enough money to transport yourself across the world.
