Game Curious The Signal from Tölva – Got My Robot Back
Hey robot buddies, what’s happening down here? Some of you are shooting at Justin and some of you aren’t, but all of you make fantastic noises. Previous The Signal from Tölva Experience Very little beyond the trailer Saw that I had played the developer’s previous game Initial Expectations, Hopes, Dreams, Fears I want to manipulate…

Played Persona 5: All of the Above
Persona 5 is the coolest shit. Oops, spoilers! Let me rewind for a moment, explain why Persona 5 is the coolest shit and discuss the actions Atlus took because of that fact. The Shin Megami Tensei games took a while to fully catch on in mainstream North America, but Persona first hooked me during my…

Game Curious Rain World – But My Family
How did any of us end up here and what is going on? Justin got drawn into Rain World and Slugcat tries to win him over. Previous Rain World Experience First images/gifs did not impress. First reviews made it worse. Follow-up reviews piqued my interest. People wouldn’t stop talking about it. Initial Expectations, Hopes, Dreams,…

Game Curious DESYNC – Some Light Melee
Justin thought his futuristic guns and futuristic moves would hold up well against light swords and axes. DESYNC shows him what the future really needs.

Dragon Quest Builders – Games of 2016
Out of nowhere, Dragon Quest Builders gave me the survival building game I have always wanted. It may not get as advanced with what you can build as Minecraft does, but it more than makes up for it with the JRPG elements it brings from the long running Dragon Quest franchise. The whole first chapter…

Butcher – Games of 2016
I will admit defeat when I know I can’t win. Butcher is mean. Butcher is brutal. Butcher is a tough as nails 2D version of my favorite 3D arcade shooters. I didn’t think it was possible for a platformer to feel like it belongs in that genre. It never stops and never lets you breathe.…

Gears of War 4 – Games of 2016
Gears of War 4 did not deserve the ridicule that I was heaping on it from the second I first saw gameplay video. Sometimes I just get defensive of my favorite franchises and want them to strive for better over striving for more. Gears of War 4 made me realize that more is more than…

Super Mario Run – Games of 2016
So much anticipation. So much hysterics. So much hype. In the end, Nintendo made a fun, dynamic mobile game. On the surface, it is a simple runner where you can jump and spin your way to the familiar flagpole at the end of the level. Dig a little deeper and you find challenging puzzles that…

Ratchet and Clank – Games of 2016
This new generaton of consoles has exceeded my expectations, but it’s still kind of weird that it took a reboot of one of my favorite games to really smack me across the face with what my PS4 was capable of. Ratchet and Clank is flat out gorgeous and still as fun as ever. It actually…

Titanfall 2 – Games of 2016
It feels good when your hopes for a game come together. I wasn’t exactly invested in the Titanfall franchise to the point that it could disappoint me, but damn it felt good to see Respawn shine. The bonus for me was that I got to play a pretty cool buddy adventure with a bad ass…
