Crypt of the NecroDancer Review
After more than a year in Steam’s early access program Crypt of the Necrodancer has finally been released. I must admit – reviewing Crypt of the NecroDancer was more difficult than I originally anticipated. Not because I had writer’s block, or trouble describing the mechanics – purely because, after playing a game that trains you to press keys to a beat, it’s quite ha...[Read More]

Rogue Legacy Review
Rogue Legacy is a hilarious and addictive action platformer from Cellar Door Games. Despite being released over a year ago I decided to review it now because a) this website didn’t exist back then and b) it was recently added to the free games list for PlayStation Plus subscribers. That seemed as good a reason as any to replay this gem of a platformer and provide a review for those yet to ex...[Read More]
