Farming Simulator 18 Review

Pox Nora Review

Pox Nora Review

Pox Nora is a freemium game that hybridizes RTS, collectible cards, and tactical turn-based gameplay. By giving you a solid base game that's worth spending a little money on, you find yourself either dropping a few bucks and joining the high ranks, or doing a lot of grinding. But the variety of options available to hardcore players of either sort will hook a strategist for a good, long while. 

Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! Review

Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! Review

Cladun Returns: This is Sengoku! tasks you with helping feudal lords in the Sengoku period of Japan make peace with their life so they can move on. This is done through top-down real-time Zelda style action with extra time challenges and multiplayer levels galore. Within the first hour of gameplay you will know exactly what you are getting, but if you enjoy it you'll find a plethora of fun within. 

Demon's Crystals Review

Demon's Crystals Review

Demon's Crystals is a "Get What You Pay For" kind of game. At $4.99, you find yourself the owner of a fun, quick, twin-stick shooter. That's it. You may find a terribly light story or some strange translation choices, but in the end, Demon's Crystals is a good $5 time waster, and even more fun if you have four local friends and controllers to get into the many multiplayer modes.

Human: Fall Flat Review

Human: Fall Flat Review

Human: Fall Flat drops down into the "intentionally difficult" realm of gaming, where Octodad lives. Underneath a frustrating control scheme is a solid physics puzzler. It's up to your level of masochism whether you'll laugh your way through or break your way through a few controllers. Depending on your taste in games, you'll love or hate it. Click in for a full review.

Seasons After Fall Review

Seasons After Fall Review

Seasons after Fall utilizes the 2D platformer in a new way, creating a full-on puzzle experience complete with a beautiful presentation of painted artwork and string quartet music. Within, you are tasked to take control of a fox who is visiting the four Guardians of the Seasons to obtain control over the very seasons themselves. The story seems simple in this aspect, but soon unfolds into a much deeper tale.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Review

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Review

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 tries to mix up the military shooter by focusing on long range weaponry and plopping you down in an open-world environment. The story may be by the books, but the gameplay allows you to have more chances at variety as you strive to take down an evil regime and hopefully figure out what happened to your brother in the process.

Birthdays: The Beginning Review

Birthdays: The Beginning Review

Birthdays: The Beginning is a new game from Yasuhiro Wada that's actually been in his head since he was a child. A "God Game" where you get to help nurture animals from the primordial soup all the way up to dinosaurs and even humans, the cute aesthetic hides some deep, confusing, but rewarding gameplay.

Voodoo Vince Remastered Review

Voodoo Vince Remastered Review

After a major hiatus, being dormant since the original Xbox, platforming mascot Voodoo Vince makes a return in the remastered edition of his original game. While the graphics look up to par with a modern title, the game itself is a carbon copy of the original, complete with all the good and bad aspects of an early 00's platformer.

Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Review

Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Review

Ryan steps out of his traditional gamer shell to review Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, an otome game for the PlayStation Vita, wherein you play a young girl taken in by a troupe of samurai. Originally there to find your father, you soon find yourself romancing with your captors as a war rages on for control of the kingdom.

Anoxemia Review

Anoxemia Review

Indie games try to pull on your feelings, quite often of dread and horror. In this game, the biggest horror Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge faced is the entirety of a game being made into what he sees as an underwater rescue mission resource management simulator. Might hit a good nerve for someone, but not for this particular review.

Danganronpa 1-2 Reload Review

Danganronpa 1-2 Reload Review

Danganronpa has been around for quite a while, originally landing on Japanese PSP's in 2010. With the third mainline story coming to America in September, Spike Chunsoft releases the original two games on PS4 in America. Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge was able to go through and tell you whether you should take another trip to Hope's Peak Academy.

Blue Rider (PS4) Review

Blue Rider (PS4) Review

Blue Rider is a game that harkens back to the classic quarter munching days. Who cares about plotline, you're a blue dude in a ship and there are robots to kill! This bullet-hell shooter has quite a lot going for it if you can get over a few design flaws. Ryan Johnson of The Gamer's Lounge looks into this title for you.

Bridge Constructor (PS Vita) Review

Bridge Constructor (PS Vita) Review

Bridge Constructor is a game that's been around as an app for a while, but has recently been ported to Sony machines. Unfortunately, the port needs a bit more polish. The Vita version, in particular, could have handled a little less change and adhered more to the original touchscreen controls. Ryan at The Gamer's Lounge puts the game through it's paces.

Saban's Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Mega Battle Review

Saban's Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Mega Battle Review

It's Morphin' Time! With a new movie coming out, the Rangers are ripe for a new game. Instead of knocking out a game based on the movie, Bandai Namco went old school, basing the game around various episodes from the original series. For fans of the Rangers or oldschool sidescrolling beat 'em ups will truly enjoy it, but unfortunately, some of the choices made on basic multiplayer game design leave the game lacking in key areas. If they can be overcome, you will find yourself a morphin' good time.

Siegecraft: Commander (PS4) Review

Siegecraft: Commander (PS4) Review

SiegeCraft: Commander is a new RTS game on PS4 (with XB1 and Steam editions as well) wherein you launch catapults to magically construct new towers in an attempt to take over the land and claim victory for your realm. Unfortunately, the mechanics of the game have a hard time translating into a playable affair, with no guidelines to help you launch, difficult analog controls that don't always aim where you are, and terrain that won't always let you build where you think you can. It all adds up to a difficult experience that only the most diehard RTS fans will enjoy.

Dex (Vita) Review

Dex (Vita) Review

Dex is an exciting cyberpunk MetroidVania RPG style game with a rich storyline that draws you into a world of intrigue, where the titular character must help thwart the Singularity where artificial intelligence surpasses the human mind. An amazing tale on paper that has received accolades during it's life on Steam, but this Vita edition has a few kinks that need to be ironed out for it to be a fully enjoyable experience.
