Enter the Gungeon is in my top ten games of all time list. To me, Enter the Gungeon perfected roguelites, dungeon crawlers, top-down shooters, and puns all while forming a hilarious love letter to every gun you've ever liked. Does Exit the Gungeon carry that same charm? Yes. It does. But is that enough? Exit … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #54: Exit the Gungeon

Golem Project Part 26

Steam Cleaning #53: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot, two platforming stars that defined a console generation. At least, for PS1 owners. The two couldn't be more different either.

Steam Cleaning #52: Heave Ho
Most platformers have the decency to give the player feet and an ability to jump. Heave Ho doesn't play by the rules. Instead, as a head with two arms, I have to grab and sling myself across the ground, ceiling, and walls. It's a blast. With simple controls that give me just enough guidance to … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #52: Heave Ho

Steam Cleaning #51: Injustice — Gods Among Us
I've established through this game series that fighting games are not my thing, right? Injustice tried to prove me wrong. It failed, but it was a valiant attempt.
