Ravenlok Review

Ravenlok is a wonderland devoid of wonder.

Double Dragon Gaiden works simultaneously as a celebration of the series and as an entry point to beat ’em ups.

I give Bloodroots high marks for its narrative and ludic cohesion, bevy of improvised weapons, and slick visual style.

Gato Roboto coasts on a charming premise and competently familiar design.

Cosmic Star Heroine is a great combination of old school aesthetic sensibilities and new school design philosophies.

inbento is a simple and engaging puzzler that’s perfect for short sessions.

Unsighted’s time limiting mechanics make me feel for its characters in ways that pushes it towards the top tiers of greatness.

Guacamelee! is a fantastic change of pace for players who want to add some beat ’em up spice to their non-linear platforming.

Gun Crazy is structurally incoherent and a visual mess. I can’t recommend it at any price.

Though its purported goal of representing real history is mostly a gimmick, Wulverblade is a solid and bloody beat ’em up.
