Killer Frequency: A new tune for Horror Games
I always like to talk about smaller horror games that go under the radar, like Mundaun and Fatal Frame, because they can sometimes offer some unique experiences or their own brand of horror. And as you probably guessed from the title of this post, Killer Frequency does both! Released earlier this year in June, I…

Fire Emblem Engage – One step forward, one step back
If you’ve been listening to the Games for Thought podcast for awhile then you may already know that I haven’t been too interested in Fire Emblem Engage since it was first announced in a Nintendo Direct back in September of last year. While I’m not the biggest Fire Emblem fan, having only gotten into the…

Mundaun: A true Hidden Gem
Now, I did not plan this. When I reviewed Layers of Fear and talked about how terrible of a game it was, I did not plan to review another indie horror game right after it. This is just a happy accident. A very happy accident because Mundaun is an amazing game and the perfect thing…

Review: Layers of Fear is this year’s greatest sleep aid
2023 has been an amazing year for games! We got great remakes like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4, awesome sequels with Tears of the Kingdom and Street Fighter 6, and even games being localized for the first time like Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and Like a Dragon: Ishin! And while we’ve…

The Callisto Protocol: Within Striking Distance of Greatness
It’s no secret that I love horror games. From indie horror games made by a single person to AAA produced horror games from a big publisher and developer, I play and love a lot of them! As such, you can probably imagine I was pretty hyped when the Callisto Protocol, a new game from one…

I hate how much I love the new Pokémon
So if you’ve been paying attention to gaming news lately you probably heard that a couple weeks ago the new Pokémon games, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, came out. You also probably heard that they have terrible performance issues and awful glitches that can really hamper the game as a whole. And all of that is…

Splatoon 3 – It’s just more Splatoon and that’s okay!
I’ve said before in previous posts that I don’t really feel that every game needs to strive to be innovative or groundbreaking. Sometimes it’s perfectly fine to play to your strengths and just keep doing what works. This is something that Nintendo is kind of known for with a lot of it’s games. Just look…
