    I played a bit of this the other day on Steam, and really like a lot of it, although aspects of it make me feel like I won’t really have the patience to keep playing a lot. The overall look is fantastic, but the racing itself, done in the style of “track racers” where you just…

    I haven’t played a Call of Duty game in years (I think the last one was the first Black Ops game), but I kept hearing really good things about the campaign on this, and I did quite like the sci-fi setting I saw in the trailers, and so I decided to give it a try.…

    I came across this for the first time when I was browsing through Glixel’s top 50 games of 2016 list. Since it’s free-to-play, I took it for a spin at lunch time, and had a pretty good time even just going through the tutorial fights (and then a few practice matches). It’s got a great…

    I came across Forgotten, a little interactive text adventure game on the web, through this Wired article, and quite liked it. It’s bite sized, and feels like playing through a short poem, with an aesthetic that reminds me of the good ol’ EGA PC gaming days. Well worth the time, and it’s free.

  • Kentucky Route Zero (Act 1)

    I’ve been meaning to play this for what seems like forever (and have had it in my Steam library for a while now), and finally got around to it this week. I’ve played through Act 1 (there are 4 acts available so far, out of an eventual 5 I think), and OK, I definitely see…

    I just found out about the upcoming Jenny LeClue adventure game today (through this article), and when I saw there was a free playable teaser available, I quickly gave it a try during my lunch break. This is a decent length demo (about 30-45 minutes), and I really liked what I experienced, from the art direction…

    So yeah, after playing through the first Dragon Quest game, I couldn’t wait to play II, and so that’s what I’m doing. So far (a couple of hours in), I’m enjoying it as much as I did the first, and it’s nice to be building up a party (although I didn’t mind at all playing…

    Even though I have a big amount of respect for the series, I don’t actually have that much experience with Dragon Quest games – the first one I played was DQ8 on PS2, and then I played a bit of DQ9 on DS, but didn’t get super far in it. This year I played a bunch…

  • Unravel

    The last of the 5 games I bought this past week during the PSN sale is Unravel, and it’s another fantastic experience I had to add to my year’s list of favorite games (as an honorable mention). I’m indeed a sucker for a good 2D platformer, and not only does this bring in the fun…

    So yet another game I just played this week and had to add to my top 5 of the year (along with Virginia, and so taking out Rise of the Tomb Raider and Watch Dogs 2). I knew this was something I’d enjoy, as I was a huge fan of Limbo. It did not disappoint,…
