Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot is an arcade FPS dripping with style. Its pumping soundtrack sets the stage like no other. Since time immemorial (well, 1995), teenagers would flock to the arcade and be attracted to the most elaborate cabinet at the time: Time Crisis. And why wouldn’t they? Holding the plastic gun and shooting at every thug on-screen, pretending to be cool, signified a geeky rite of passage for some. There was an enviable simplicity to it all. Point, shoot, repeat. Aerial_Knight’s Dropshot echoes that slick vibe that characterized those classic arcade shooters. Aerial_Knight is a proudly unapologetic Detroit-based developer that shows…

Tokyo Scramble is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive that mixes camp and stealth with dinosaurs to various degrees of success. I want to start this review by taking you back to a scene. A spine-chilling moment, so unforgettable, that you will instantly remember it if you have watched that movie. A velociraptor instinctively opens the door to a kitchen, and it signals to its fellow carnivores with a hair-raising screech: their prey is close. Two kids hiding for their lives, their extreme fear palpable in their breath, chose the wrong shelter. What ensues is one of the most iconic chase…

Orcs Must Die: By The Blade is a brand new entry in the third-person tower defense series, now built from the ground up for virtual reality. The adaptation feels natural. The Orcs Must Die series has existed for 15 years now, if you can believe it. Rooted in silly antics, this ingenious third-person tower defense action game captured the hearts and minds of medieval enthusiasts thanks to its unique spin on the genre. When most tower defense games were played from a top-down perspective, this orc killer franchise opted for a new kind of gameplay. Several games later, Orcs Must…

Nioh 3 is the latest entry in the Samurai Action series and Team Ninja’s magnum opus. Here is our comprehensive guide. Nioh 3 has finally been released after almost a year-long announcement and a sweet try of its alpha demo. Many of its mechanics, either carried over from its previous games or entirely new to this entry, are baffling to wrap your head around in the beginning. Because, unlike the previous entries, this is a seamless open world, or Team Ninja’s Elden Ring, it can be difficult to choose which way to go or what to do. It is at…

Crossings is a Norse-inspired first-person VR soulslike set in the afterlife. Here’s my review. You have fought this boss before. They obliterated you last time. You dodged their heavy attacks, parried the light ones, and physically inflicted a flurry of swings with your fire-imbued axe when stunned. And yet, it was not enough. They disappeared at the last strike, only to reappear behind you and deal a final blow. But you are back and stronger than ever. This will be their end. It’s the afterlife, and with a single drip of sweat scurrying through your temple, you are the one…
