  • PC, Xbox One, PS4

Warhammer has got to have what is personally the most off putting, wretched and boring fantasy worlds put to pen and paper. Everything about it, from the aggressive focus on the ugliness of its world to the aggressively unlikable characters with ridiculous names spouting fake ol’ timey insults really represents everything that I personally dislike about fantasy as a genre. Warhammer: Vermintide II is one of the few games good enough to make me put up with that.

Dig Dog Short Review

by Amr (@siegarettes)

  • Dig Dog
  • Developer- Rusty Moyher, Matt Grimm
  • Publisher- Wild Rooster
  • PC, Android, iOS

Sometimes a game can get by on a little bit of charm and simple fun. Dig Dog just about does. It’s a small game from Rusty Moyher and Matt Grimm, who brought us the excellent Retro Game Crunch and Astro Duel. Both of those felt like strong executions on existing concepts, backed by a lot of charm.

The Games We Played: Sonic Mania

[TRANSCRIPT]

Sonic Mania is an incredible achievement. It’s a game I looked forward to since its announcement, and one that I had total faith in knowing the team behind it. It’s smooth, modern, and has great boss fights and a few surprises that I appreciated.

The Games We Played: Sonic Forces is an emotional rollercoaster

by Amr (@siegarettes)

[TRANSCRIPT]

Sonic Forces feels incomplete. It’s straining against its budget, with signs that it may have gone a few changes of direction. Everything is highly polished, but it’s clear that plenty got cut on the way, leaving them to assemble what’s left into something resembling complete. It’s frustrating, seeing something with so many ideas, but with almost none of them explored.

  • Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle 
  • Developer - CUBETYPE
  • Publisher - NIS America
  • PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 
  • Rating - T

There are some games you play for the sake of irony or a joke. You know those type of games. You would find them digging deep in the Steam storefront and you tell yourself, “this looks so awful, but I’ll play it anyway.” Then there are games that are so atrocious that even any sort of irony won’t be able to salvage your experience. Touhou Kobuto V is one of them.

Sine Mora Ex Review

by Omar (@siegarettes)

  • Sine Mora Ex 
  • Developer- Digital Extremes,  Grasshopper Manufacture, Gyroscope Games
  • Publisher- THQ Nordic
  • PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch

Sine Mora was one of the most interesting shooters of the last generation. Interesting, in the way we reserve the word for games that have peaked our attention somehow, but don’t quite manage to get all the way there. Sine Mora EX returns to it, bringing a fresh coat of paint, small balance changes, and a few 2 player modes.
