Dead Space is a survival horror game set on a derelict mining ship in space, populated by swarms of zombie-like creatures called Necromorphs. It is a remake of the 2008 classic, which was released with critical acclaim. Continued by another amazing game in 2011 with Dead Space 2, followed by a mixed reception to the third game in 2013, in which the franchise has been on hiatus since until now.

Having played the jaw dropping original Dead Space back in 2008, I was excited to finally play the remake and I gotta say, Dead Space is back, and it is as still jaw dropping as ever, maybe even better. It got the Resident Evil 2 Remake treatment and even surpassed that in my opinion.

Imagine a deep sea survival game like Subnautica, which is basically an underwater version of The Forest. Remove all the base building, crafting, focus on the shooter aspect, make it darker with lovecraftian elements and you get Death in the Water 2.

9/10Slice-of-life turned romantic fantasy against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop | A Space for the Unbound ReviewA Space for the Unbound is the story of a boy and a girl — both with supernatural powers — in a slice-of-life turned fantasy romance adventure against a 90’s Indonesian backdrop. A nice change of setting from the usual Japanese-themed similar works of art, like the popular Makoto Shinkai Anime movies Your Name and Weathering with You, all embodied in video game format.

8.5/10A classic JRPG from the PS2 and PSP era has now been brought forward in time, re-released and remastered for modern systems, and in my opinion, they ported the wrong version.

NeverAwake is a twin-stick shooter, but it’s also a single-stick shooter. It’s a side-scrolling game, but it’s also a vertical scroller. It’s sleek and flashy, but also gruesome and messy. This duality approach might seem like a genre identity issue for NeverAwake, but really, it is a unique fresh take on the shoot ‘em up genre.

There's a certain cuteness in this game; the playful nature of the children, the slice of life presentation, and the lighthearted puzzling elements. At the same time, Children of Silentown is spooky and creepy; from the Tim Burton-esque art style with big white creepy eyes, to the foreboding nature of the story with nightmares and monsters.

You can learn more about Trains in this game | SimRail - The Railway Simulator - First Impressions ReviewAs a kid, I have always been fascinated by trains, well I think most of us were. Beyond that childhood fantasy and riding trains for travel, I never really got interested in trains as a grown up, until now. Fortunately, we now have SimRail - The Railway Simulator as a brand new addition to the list of growing video game train simulators, the caveat: it’s still in Early Access.

Robocop becomes a samurai in this retro style platformer | Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider - Review ReviewVengeful Guardian: Moonrider is an authentic recreation of the classic 90s ninja video games like Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi, and Shadow of the Ninja. The 16-bit music, art style, and gameplay are all captured perfectly without a miss. Going in blind, you would think it is a remaster or port of a real existing 90s game.

ONE PIECE ODYSSEY is something special. A rare occurrence; there’s finally a good Anime game that isn’t a hack and slash or a fighting game, as it instead features a fresh JRPG turn-based combat system. A nice change of pace and a solid design decision worthy of our attention.

From the looks of it, you might not think of Glimmer in Mirror as a metroidvania platform shooter. In fact every fiber of my being is telling me that it isn’t, it feels more like a flashy side scrolling hack and slash game, but Glimmer in Mirror is indeed a shooter in a cute anime (chibi) disguise, and that’s refreshing to see.
