It only takes a few brief glances at Paradise Killer to see where its influences lie. The visual style, character naming conventions, and plot elements are clearly strongly inspired by the works of Goichi Suda (Suda51). However, after playing it, few would confuse Paradise Killer for one of his. The writing is too high quality and […]

Then, as I continued to review The Furious Wild, a few problems became apparent. […]

I love ambitious games made by smaller teams. Ary and the Secret of Seasons has a large, colorful game world that aims to occupy the same space as the Zelda games. A lot of love and talent clearly went into making the game and it can be a good amount of fun a lot of the time. […]

You could describe Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Company of Heroes as revolutionary RTS games. That is, if not for the fact that almost no games followed their example, and their sequels actively squandered it. If there’s one thing certain though, it’s that when Iron Harvest was announced, the plentiful comparisons to Company of […]

Rebranding an entire franchise is a brave move. Doing so risks throwing away everything you’ve built over the years. That’s why when I first heard that Project CARS 3 was abandoning its simulation racing roots, I was a little interested. Slightly Mad Studios is a development team that started life working on great simcade racers […]
