I view writing articles for The Gamers Lounge as a way to expand my gaming palette, and this is no exception. This game has a lot of interesting moments and engaging game play. Even so, there are a lot of eye rolling moments... It genuinely felt like I was controlling an anime, and I don't mean one where they outsource the animation to be done by some cut-rate animation studio.

Everspace is a great game. It is a roguelike set in…well, space. The basic premise is that you upgrade your ship over time, until eventually you are good enough to make it to the next warp. The music is nice, the story is solid, and the controls are palatable. Eventually you'll discover the answers to some dark secrets, but you'll actually have to live long enough to do so.

FORTS! PATRIOTISM! REFERENCES! MORE FORTS! This game has them all! But seriously, this entry into the RTS Genre is both light and complex. EarthWork Games has done a solid job in this entry. It places you in control of building multiple forts across the world. Why are you building forts across the world? Well, I suggest watching their trailer, and then reading this review!

If you are like me, I honestly didn't know visual novels were a thing until I got a chance to play this game. To boil it down, it is an interactive story that is more complex than a simple Choose Your Own Adventure. It allows more branching plot lines, hidden scenes, and things like that. This is one of the big reasons video games are great, and I'm glad I had the good fortune to expand my gaming horizon.

Blade Arcus is a fairly standard fighting game. The controls are solid. The battles are quick, but the key bindings (for keyboard) leave something to be desired. I recommend waiting for a sale to get this one, unless you are a fan of the series and already are into the story, as you will get nothing from this otherwise. Also, get a controller or an arcade stick. Don't be me and play on the keyboard. You can watch my review below if you want to get some game-play shots.

There is something about stubborn-headed Orc-slaying and having an affinity for beard growing that I find respectable. This craving is certainly filled with this game, even with its many glaring flaws. It helps that the game is based off a book of the same name, so the narrative is already defined for the developers to adapt.

Overwatch has been out for several weeks now, and is a huge success. The roll out was smooth, it quashed the competition released around the same time, and has been pretty stable so far.

This game is a choose your own adventure, first and foremost. You make a decision, you get rewarded/ punished. This is a tried and true formula that I feels the creators really managed to flesh out in this last act.
