Fae Farm Heading to PlayStation and Xbox

Taylor Bauer — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 17:00:10 +0000

We’re experiencing no shortage of farming sims in the last 10 years. For a genre that felt more or less reduced down to the Harvest Moon franchise, there are now small indie teams and major AAA studios working on farming simulators. One of my most recent favorites, Fae Farm is currently a Nintendo Switch and PC-only game, but that won’t be the case for much longer. Developer Phoenix Labs announced…

We’re in a strange age of video gaming where some games don’t stay exclusive forever. I’m grateful that this is a growing trend, seeing as people should be able to play great games no matter where they play. Ember Lab’s Kena: Bridge of Spirits was first released as a PS5 exclusive but has since joined the […]

Telltale Games acquired Sam & Max, a silly little duo of a noir dog and insane bunny rabbit, in 2004. Before this, LucasArts had adapted the game from a late-80s comic book series. While the characters central to the series weren’t household names, their point-and-click adventures have made them cult favorites. Developer Skunkape Games has gone on to remaster and rerelease three of the games…

There’s nothing quite like nostalgia for your childhood favorites. Whether it’s a show, a movie, or a video game, adulthood feels like a never-ending chase to recapture some of that magic. Luckily for 90s kids, one of the most popular cartoons of the final decade of the 20th century is about to get an NES-era-influenced game starring some of the most famous babies of the 90s.

Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, has continued to grow as a sport, entertainment event franchise, and major force in popular culture.

My Time at Sandrock (Nintendo Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 17:00:47 +0000

In the spring of 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons captured the time and minds of millions of players who fully engrossed themselves in slower, cozier gameplay. Since then, it seems everyone is eager to find the next cozy gem, but few hit the mark. Funnily enough, My Time in Portia, released in 2019, preceded Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and nailed much of that gameplay loop on its own.

Fate/Samurai Remnant (Nintendo Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:00:12 +0000

It doesn’t take much to get me to try a video game. If it looks even slightly pleasing to the eye, I’ll give it a shot. Develop enough games up my alley and I’ll try things blindly. Having not experienced much of the Fate series, Koei Tecmo’s name attached to this new release sold me on it immediately. The Fate franchise spans visual novels, manga, and now, a Dynasty Warriors-style game that might…
