Dungeons of Hinterberg review: A light-hearted action RPG that looks as pretty as a postcard

by

Usually it’s a bad sign when I want to stop playing after a game and go outside, but Dungeons of Hinterberg is different. It’s an action RPG that made me long for the outdoors, and made me long to get away from all my responsibilities and just exist. Every time I finished playing, I thought about my next outing, and while dungeon diving wouldn’t be on my vacation agenda, Dungeons of Hinterberg makes me think twice.

Flintlock: Siege Of Dawn review: A tight and sturdy Soulslite that is best enjoyed in the air

by

I increasingly judge Souls-style games not by the size of their bosses or the depth of their dungeons, but by the cleverness of their shortcuts, and Flintlock: Siege Of Dawn has my favorite shortcuts in a while. Rather than simply routes to the other side of a barred door – though there are plenty of such Lordrannish loops in this game – they consist of aerial chains of magical purple triangles that suck you in when you hold down a button. They lend force to a branching, faux-Napoleonic world that would otherwise be a collection of atmospheric strolls between campfire equivalents and battles defined by tight resourcing systems. They’re idiot-proof grappling points from which you can launch yourself toward another triangle, a ledge full of upgrade materials, or a loitering musketeer in dire need of a ground slam.

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate (Switch) – Hades In A Half-Shell

by

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) From the outside, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate looks a lot like Hades.
