The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Review
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 Review
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 Review
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!
PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness 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.
The Inner World Review
"This game is delightfully charming and was a pleasure to play. It made me think in ways I don’t normally, and when I couldn’t find the answer, had a well-planned hint system that gives you only what you need to find your spark.
Trulon: The Shadow Engine Review
Join The Gamers' Lounge as we try to play Trulon. It can be summed up a game with cards, a story and more cards. Did we mentioned there is more story and bugs Lots of buuuuugggggggs and more story with cards. But all things considered, Trulon is not that bad.

BLADE ARCUS from Shining: Battle Arena Review
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.
The Dwarves Review
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.
ObliteRacers Review
Looking for a fun little racing game for XBox One? I'll let you know if this is that game, or why you should avoid it.
Full Mojo Rampage Review
Full Mojo Rampage is a rogue-like game that takes place within the confines of the Voodoo reality. In this realm only the most powerful rites and powers can provide a safeguard against evil. Dying is not the end. Check out Matt's review.
Party Hard Review
In Party Hard, you play as someone who is tired of the neighbors having loud parties. Rather than calling the police, you decide it’s a better to kill everyone by using a knife and the environment. Sound fun? Well it is!

DestinyQuest: Infinte Part 3 Review
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.
DestinyQuest: Infinite Part 2 Review
This is the second part of Matthew's review of DestinyQuest Infinite. More fun, better missions and not to spoil to much, you can tell the story will be about....vampires!?!
DestinyQuest: Infinite Part 1 Review
Do you like reading? If so, you are going to be moderately entertained with DestinyQuest Infinite! Don’t like reading? You will probably be moderately entertained with DQI as well. In fact, I would go so far as to say most people would moderately entertained with DQI.
