Mononoke Forest Review
Platform: Nintendo 3DS Mononoke Forest, as the name might suggest, is a game about Mononoke. You might be asking, what are Mononoke? Well, they are little creatures that thrive on making humans happy, collecting “happy orbs,” and trying to create paradise. Unfortunately, not all Mononoke are good, as there is a group of Hazard Mononoke […]
I Want To Be Human Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed) and Windows I Want To Be Human is a score attack action platformer about a vampire girl and a hat boy.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed) and Windows Video games have generally not been the most nuanced vehicles for expressing the effects of mental illness and that’s what makes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice so much more impressive. Developer Ninja Theory combined it’s knack for cinematic presentaion with a very taboo topic to create an unforgettable, if flawed, game. […]
GAJ Game Night – Valkyria Revolution and The Long Dark
First up, we were trying to play the Final Fantasy XV multiplayer beta, but some server issues killed that idea. We ended up going with Valkyria Revolution, a Musou game that has you mashing on buttons to skip the cutscenes more than actually attacking. A couple of days later, we decided to check out the The Long Dark. […]
Save the Ninja Clan Review
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One If you’ve never heard of Save the Ninja Clan, then we’re in the same boat. I only decided to buy it on a whim after watching the trailer because of its $2.99 price tag and obvious Super Meat Boy influence. Little did I know that […]
Splatoon 2 Review

Pocket Card Jockey Review
Platforms: Android, iOS, and Nintendo 3DS (reviewed) Game Freak may be most well known for the Pokémon series, but they’ve also released their fair share of other quirky titles. One of the latest to be added to that list is Pocket Card Jockey, a mash up of horse racing and solitaire. If that sounds a little […]
The Possible Realities Of A Nintendo 64 Classic
I feel like we’re partially responsible for this, willing it into an early existence, having talked about the possibility of a Nintendo 64 Classic on the latest podcast. If you haven’t heard, Nintendo filed a trademark for the Nintendo 64 controller image. It seems more an inevitability than a “what if”, so I started […]
Cladun Returns: This Is Sengoku! Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Playstation Vita (reviewed), and Windows Grinding in RPG’s is so entrenched in the genre that, at this point, it almost feels like near impossible for it to divorce itself from it. Hell, it’s such a part of the genre that a subgenre of them relishes in the grind, letting those of […]
