Game Curious Plus: Ruiner – But Not Out
Justin isn’t going to sit idly by after someone hacks into his brain. He’s definitely going to fight and fail over and over again until he outlasts all of his enemies. Ruin them with attrition. That’s the motto. Previous Ruiner experience That debut trailer was awesome. Saw a Devolver logo and cyberpunk. Sold. Initial Expectations,…

Game Curious Plus: Tooth and Tail – Hold Steady and Don’t Look Back
Justin and his assigned faction need to eat. Enemy factions disagree. Will the fight be overwhelming like other real time strategy experiences or does trimming the fat finally allow Justin to focus on conquering? Previous Tooth and Tail experience Fondly remembered the developer’s previous game, Monaco. Saw some screenshots. Read details about controls and RTS…

Game Curious Plus: Darkwood – Scary or Horrific?
Justin gets creeped out in another forest and its asking him to do some truly horrific acts just to survive. Is it worth it?

Circumstantial Review: Agents of Mayhem
The evolution of Aaron’s take on Volition’s new not-Saint’s Row entry has been nuanced and hasn’t taken any giant lurches in one direction or another aside from initially being positively disposed, but it has followed a gentle downward trend towards mediocrity. Although we are not and have never been a review-centric site, sometimes enough behind…

Game Trip: Oxygen Not Included – Breathe It In
Things get messy underground for Aaron and his crew in Oxygen Not Included. He would stop to catch his breath if, well, you get it.

Initial Expectations, Hopes, Dreams, Fears I was afraid it would be boring or…

Started Disgaea 5: Complete – With Demons on My Side
When I originally played Disgaea 1, I had a lot of time for video games. It felt different than anything I had played and became my game of comparison for all tactical RPG’s going forward. Looking back it actually has a lot of features and stylistic choices that would put me off from a game…

Game Curious Plus: Little Nightmares – Palpable Pangs
Inbetween all the running and screaming, Justin and Cole are just looking for someone to hug in the dark. Maybe a little food would help, too. Previous Little Nightmares experience Watched a trailer or two that didn’t stand out. Read something about the creature design being a focus during development that caught my attention. Initial…

Game Curious Plus: The Surge – Metal on Metal is Metal
Are mechs supposed to yell and gurgle? Either way it adds up to some satisfying robotic dismemberment for Justin and Cole. Previous The Surge experience Confused as to why it was being preordered a lot. Saw screenshots but couldn’t determine what type of game it was. Word of mouth from friends let me know I…

Game Curious: Unexplored – Cursed Equipment is So Last Season
The rogue-lite dungeon is calling out to Aaron yet again, but this time he has to worry about sliding rings onto his greedy little fingers that he cannot easily take back off. Previous Unexplored Experience I somehow missed this game during Early Access. I saw buzz articles on Rock Paper Shotgun and Waypoint praising its…
