Tower defense games have a bit of everything that I like — some strategy, some base building (sometimes) and lots of challenges. I first fell in love with this genre while, ironically, playing other games that had tower defense elements. For example, SpellForce (which I talk a lot about here). And since then, I’ve sought … Read more
During the summer days, time feels like it’s flying by so fast. There’s so many things to do, so many people to see, and so many games to play but by the time I blink, the day is over. So in order to combat these types of days, I’ve developed a system. I tend to … Read more
When it comes to the Star Wars franchise, I wouldn’t call myself a superfan but also I’m not a hater of it. I liked Fallen Order well enough, even if it had a few rough edges. Jedi: Survivor picks up right where that left off, building on the combat, expanding the world, and refining the … Read more
Soulslike games for beginners is a bit of an oxymoron because, let’s face it — they’re all so hard.

Looking for games like It Takes Two? I get it — it was truly a memorable experience. My husband and I loved playing it, even when I kept getting stuck in random places, when I couldn’t jump the distance, when I didn’t understand what to do, when he had to take the joystick and just … Read more
Pixel art games used to be a necessary evil, but now they’re a style of its own, and quite popular too. To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan when this trend took off. It might be “vintage” to some people, but it transported me back to barely working consoles or TV games. In my … Read more
