The Sexy Brutale – Games of 2017
A surprise that I wasn’t anticipating in the slightest, The Sexy Brutale is like the movie Groundhog Day if it revolved around murders at a costume party. Imagine waking up repeatedly, slowly learning the day’s routine as guards patrol, conversations happen, and guests of the titular casino die on schedule. As the player saves more…

Echo Arena – Games of 2017
After riding the hype train to nowhere, I became quite content for VR to find me when it actually had something to experience. After playing a few demos at work I started stumbling around the store and came across one with good reviews. Fast forward about 5 minutes and I was shouting at everyone to…

The Signal from Tolva – Games of 2017
No game world this year felt like Tolva. Cold, distant, and full of robots. It made me an alien. At first I was just an observer, but I had to defend myself. I was an intruder in a surface level skirmish. Below the battles, though, was a curiously deliberate mystery. Nothing was actively pulling me…

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle – Games of 2017
I can remember after watching the E3 presentation for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle a distinct flavor of cringe in my mouth. That image of Miyamoto and Yves, back to back with their blasters felt like a guarantee that this game was going to be pure crap, but in 2017 anything is possible. Mario +…

Resident Evil 7 – Games of 2017
I talk a big horror game, er well uh, game, but I started looking back at my regrets around Resident Evil 7 and now I wonder if I actually got scared off. That’s how good the intro was. It is unnerving and unpredictable in a way that is paralyzing when it comes to summoning the…

Slime Rancher – Games of 2017
I always associated ranch work and farm work with, well, work. It sounded stressful and endless. It turns out its actually rewarding and freeing if adorable slimes are involved. The trick is, just don’t become emotionally attached to the slimes. Go in knowing that the slimes are going to misbehave, escape, and die, a lot.…
