Standard Review: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (SNES/DS/IOS)

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation is in a bit of an awkward position when it comes to the Dragon Quest series. While it is a solid JRPG in its own right, it has the unfortunate distinction as the first in the series to be a step down from the previous entry. In short, Dragon …

Antichamber (PC): Meaningless and Frustrating Abstraction (Detailed Review)

There is a rule that I make sure to hold to every game when I review them. That rule being that their quality as a game is greatly determined by how well the game succeeds at accomplishing what it set out to achieve. To clarify, this means that my judgment usually comes as a result …

Nukige Septic Tank: Taimanin Asagi (PC) (NSFW)

Well, it’s time for another Fuwanovel review. This one took a while for me to get to, and even longer for it to get posted. https://fuwanovel.net/2024/03/review-taimanin-asagi/ Yeah, the first entry in the Taimanin series… kinda sucks ngl. Despite that, I’m still considering Taimanin Yukikaze, if only because it looks much better and it has much …

Quick Review: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures (PC/3DS/WiiU/Switch/PS4/XONE)

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a game that is a lot more unique than it looks. While it may look like just another retro style action game attempting to cash in on retro nostalgia and fans of the web series; it also takes a rather unique approach to its design. Specifically, it manages to …

Impressions & Commentary: The Coffin of Andy and Leyley Chapters 1&2

CW: Discussions or Incest, Cannibalism, emotional abuse, manipulation, and domestic abuse. Also there are spoilers. Time to capitalize on a trend everyone! The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is certainly something, and that specific something that it is, is called a video game. If you’ve heard of this game, you’ve probably heard that it involves …

Deadlight (PC/360/XONE/PS4): Dead on Arrival (Detailed Review)

Deadlight is fucking terrible. I am making sure I emphasize this right away so that no one makes the mistake of assuming this wretched pile of filth has any merits. Deadlight is so bad, that I’m writing this review immediately after playing it, just to make sure that I remember every maddening detail of it. …

The Shell Part I: Inferno (PC) Girl in a Shiny New Shell (Detailed Review) (NSFW)

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake (PC/PS4/PS5/Switch/XONE/XSX): Battle for Bikini Bargain Bin (Detailed Review)

If I had a nickel for every retro throwback 3D platformer that was based around time travel, that made my most anticipated games of 2023 list, and ended up mediocre and disappointing, I’d have two nickels. I don’t know why someone would give me two nickles for two games existing though, it’s not like I …

Nukige Septic Tank: Suck My Dick or Die! (PC) (NSFW)

It’s another Fuwanovel review, and another ancient MangaGamer title from when they had less resources and skills to properly localize their games. God this game was fucking painful. https://fuwanovel.net/2023/11/analysis-suck-my-dick-or-die-bad-title-worse-game/ Anyway, my review for The Shell Part 1: Inferno should also be posted soon. I also will be reviewing Taimanin Asagi for Fuwanovel as well. I …

Clive ‘N’ Wrench (PC/PS4/PS5/Switch): Bargain Bin Banjo-Kazooie (Detailed Review)

So, I like 3D collectathon platformers a lot, and this was number nine on my most anticipated games of 2023 list. It did not live up to the hype. Reading some parts of that piece are especially painful after having played through this game all the way. “It DOES look like it nails everything there …
