2024 Videogames – Play Critically

6-Sided Stories Review

6-Sided Stories is a pleasant and relaxing puzzler, a balm for a bad day.

Europa’s whimsical movement and watercolor art style contrasts poorly with its dreary and misanthropic backstory.

Looking backwards at Dungeons of Hinterberg, I will forget its weaknesses. When I am playing, they are impossible to ignore.

The Fear Business is a tightly-designed survival horror throwback that will fill a satisfying evening of spooky gaming.

Street Rumble is an average beat ’em up at the core of an adaptation that frustratingly misses the point of its source material.

Adventures in Gameland is a disappointing Rugrats throwback that in no way justifies its outrageous pricetag even to the most passionate fan.

If the worst thing I can say about a videogame is I liked it so much I wish it were longer, that’s a videogame worth a player’s time.

Players who completed Dredge last year are once again given little reason to return for its second DLC course.

Despite a pleasing first impression, my time with Cat Quest III is submerged in disappointment with its strange design choices.

Arranger delights me as a puzzle videogame and perplexes me as a story.
