OMEGA PHENEX COMMENCED PROJECT SIX – Open Beta Impressions

Erickson Melchor — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 15:15:50 +0000

I absolutely adore Armored Core. I’ve been playing Armored Core games since the days of the PSP. I love the series’ take on mechanized battles, and I love collecting parts to improve that improve my war machine. So, when FromSoft turned the series into a slightly more realistic mech Souls-like, I was overjoyed. But the [...]

Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World!? – Demo Impressions

Erickson Melchor — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:14:40 +0000

‘Truck-kun’ is a trope that’s present in some stories within the Isekai genre. In a storytelling sense, it is the literal vehicle that instigates the event that results in a character ending up in another world, usually via a tragic accident. Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World!? takes that idea and builds an entire [...]

How Many Dudes? – Demo Impressions

It all started with the ‘100 men vs 1 gorilla debate’, a viral internet thought experiment about whether 100 ordinary, unarmed men could defeat a single silverback gorilla in a fight to the death. Fast forward to recent days, and we are about a week before the release of the game that was inspired by [...]

Rubinite – Demo Impressions

Erickson Melchor — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 01:37:03 +0000

Boss rush games aren’t usually my cup of tea. While I like the idea of round-based fights against powerful bosses, I prefer the hero’s journey and eventually power up to the point that beating said boss becomes an afterthought. But something is compelling about Rubinite’s fluid combat that has somehow made me want to play [...]

God Save Birmingham – Playtest Impressions (Cautiously Optimistic)

Erickson Melchor — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 09:20:28 +0000

Zombie survival games hold a special place in my heart; be it Seven Days to Die or Project Zomboid, there’s something about finding a way to thrive in a world that’s falling apart all around you. God Save Birmingham seems to have the bones of a great zombie survival game, but it still has a [...]

We didn’t know it back then, but the early 2000s were such a magical time for tech enthusiasts. It was a short period of time when electronic components were easily accessible and abundant, and just before the internet fully took over the world. It is during this time that we saw small repair shops thrive [...]

IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator – Demo Impressions

The hallmark of a great simulator game is its ability to take the mundane and boring parts of a job and turn them into something fun and engaging. In the context of IRON NEST, it is your ability to read the right information off a piece of paper, calculate the right firing angles, and then [...]

The Ghostrunner series consists of two games that feature futuristic, lethal first-person combat and are about a cybernetic ninja slicing up goons in a dystopian world. This is what developer One More Level is best known for. And yet their latest upcoming title, Valor Mortis, is a drastic departure from what we know about the [...]

Corsair Cove – Demo Impressions

Erickson Melchor — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 07:32:05 +0000

I don’t know why, but it seems like pirate games have become all the rage again lately. I have never seen an influx of pirate-themed games hitting the market all at once in forever, the most well-known right now being Windrose. And yet, somehow, in between the action-focused and ship-ship boat combat games, there is [...]
