Review: 88 Heroes – 98 Heroes Edition

Author: Jaxson Tapp
Categories: Switch, Reviews

88 Heroes is perhaps the craziest platformer I have ever played, plain and simple. It’s a game that doesn’t pull punches by any means, with a steep learning curve and many, many heroes to master. It lives up to its name, quite literally, by having 88 — or 98 in…

Review: Oxenfree

I first spent time with Oxenfree last year on PS4. It was one of those purchases that just kind of happened while browsing the PlayStation Store, looking for any cheap games that looked appealing. I had known next to nothing about Oxenfree before downloading it back then, and what followed…

Pokémon and fighting games were my bread and butter back during high school. Somehow that never led to me thinking the two should mix in any big way, and yet I’d go on to put plenty of hours into the Wii U version of Pokkén. I even managed to play…

Review: Metroid: Samus Returns

Categories: Reviews, 3DS

Thanks to Other M’s convoluted sense for storytelling and the recent Federation flop of 2016, the future of the Metroid series was tossed into turmoil. Longtime fans like myself, who have been around since Justin Bailey’s’ 8-bit debut, have feverishly hoped for a series return to form, complete with a…

Review: SteamWorld Dig 2

Categories: Switch, Reviews

When I play games I’m the type of player to want to see and do everything I can. Every out of the way nook or conspicuously placed opening is an invitation to stray off the path and see what’s waiting for me if I just look hard enough. Rewarding players…

Review: Monster Hunter Stories

Author: Jaxson Tapp
Categories: 3DS, Reviews

As a lifelong gamer, I’ve always been kind of lukewarm in regards to Monster Hunter. Its premise is fighting giant monsters with extremely rad weapons — a concept you’d think every person would love. I’ve tried time and again to get into this series, but I just couldn’t do it,…
