Retro – Play Critically

Marvel Cosmic Invasion Review

Marvel Cosmic Invasion doesn’t have the breadth of real estate to support the depth of its roster and their abilities.

The indie scene loves to infuse new ideas into old favorites. Tearscape is near the head of its class in this effort.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound embodies everything a retro action platformer should aspire to be.

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo feels destined to be one of 2025’s highlights.

Throes of the Watchmaker is a disappointing but blessedly inconsequential addition to one of 2023’s best videogames.

Wizordum is a wonderful throwback to classic first-person shooters whose technical limitations only enhance its retro feel.

Plague of Shadows is by far the most disposable of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove’s single-player content.

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.
