Cris Tales preview: JRPG elements, time control, and beautiful symmetry
Cris Tales isn't just a game for people with my very particular tastes in UI, character design, and colorful graphics. It's a unique experience in which you play a girl that can control time.

Oh, and it has a...

Remothered: Broken Porcelain scatters across all platforms in 2020
Remothered: Broken Porcelain was one of the surprise announcements during Gamescom Opening Night Live. I was even more surprised to learn that the “Unannounced Horror Title” I was scheduled to see at Gamescom 2019 a couple of days later was, in fact, the very same game.

Degrees of Separation review: A puzzle of ice and fire
Degrees of Separation is a cute, slightly challenging platformer best experienced with a loved one. Its charm lies in its co-op puzzles that sometimes overshadow the touching narrative.
They say opposites attract. In Degrees of Separation, they can also freeze water, generate explosions, and even create magical bridges. But best of all, they can solve intricate co-op puzzles together.
Degrees of...

Pilot a giant anime mech and punch other giant robots in Override: Mech City Brawl
Giant robots are among my favorite things.
I think it has something to do with the fact that I grew up watching Power Rangers. I even enjoyed both Pacific Rim movies, and have a small display of Gundam figures.
So you can understand why I'm pretty psyched for Override: Mech City Brawl, a 3D fighting game set in real-world cities, where...
Extinction review: The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Despite having some interesting and fun mechanics, the lack of content in Extinction doesn't justify its price tag.
Extinction had some great potential. A high mobility hack-and-slash game where the focus is on killing giants is the kind of game I've been waiting for for a while.
Unfortunately, developer Iron Galaxy couldn't quite make the game live up to that potential.
