Tunic — No Fail, Much Exploring

LEVST3R 0
Tunic is a lesson in tempering expectations for me. First shown off in teaser form back in 2017. Tunic promised ambient music coupled with gameplay through a familiar inspiration. All was quiet until a couple of years later, ISOMETRICORP…

Demon Turf — Queen of the Flattened

LEVST3R 0
I was delighted by the visual presentation when I first saw Demon Turf. The combination of 2D characters placed into a 3D world feels novel. In my preview, I mentioned some worries that I hoped would be addressed by launch. Even still…

Demon Turf — Jump, Claim, Repeat

LEVST3R 0
The main draw for me with Demon Turf is its obvious blend of 3D platformer with 2D visuals. Beebz is the main protagonist who set out to conquer different turf in order to become queen demon — but, there’s plenty for fans of the platforming…

LEVST3R 0
Death’s Door showcases a best-of in the action-adventure genre. As a crow reaper I faced challenges that never felt insurmountable. A ghastly manor tried keeping me away from its basement. I mazed my way through a temple in ruin. A climb to…

Stonefly — Biomes, Beats, Bots and Bugs

LEVST3R 0
Stonefly was one of my most anticipated games of 2021. I couldn’t shake the meta description given by creative director Adam Volker: 'Rogue One shrunk down to FernGully written as a coming-of-age story'. In a way, this is the most concise…

Fez — Perspective is 360

LEVST3R 0
Gomez is the star of this bit odyssey, starring alongside game tips and tricks companion, Dot. The goal is surface level simple: restore pieces of a thing to save the world. All bits considered this makes for a package that is memorable:…

Cyber Shadow — Dashing to the bits

LEVST3R 0
Shadow awakens in a contained city of ruin, Mekacity; finding fallen clan members along the way to stitch together his future. Platforming through the city tempered by a slow burn of gameplay. Timed dash moves and bail me out airstrikes…
