Traffix — simplicity can be too much

It's difficult to recommend Traffix at any price. It's the type of game that provides five minutes of fun per day but fails to captivate and is too frustrating.

Traffix doesn’t aim for originality — traffic control games have existed ever since technology allowed their existence — but Portuguese developer Infinity Games takes this concept to a seemingly professional level with clean graphics and simple yet effective gameplay. While it exudes aesthetic pleasure, it lacks innovation and differentiation. The initial impression of the game is not very good.…

Baba is You — don't judge a book by its cover

Baba is You has very high moments of fun, especially in the beginning and with the introduction of some new rules, but its lows are terrible.

Never has the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” fit so perfectly as with Baba is You, created by Finnish developer Arvi Teikari. Its visually simplistic appearance hides an unexpectedly extreme difficulty that requires not just skill, but logical thinking and programming. This contrast results in one of the most innovative puzzle games of recent times, although it can lead to moments of…

Pikuniku - interactive madness

Pikuniku offers moments of enjoyment and humour, but can be tedious and trivial. It shines when embracing its natural strangeness, but sometimes feels forced in its attempt to be weird.

Who would have imagined that Devolver Digital, a company that initially gained popularity by publishing games from the Serious Sam series, known for their frenzied and bloody nature, would one day release a game as cute and harmless as Pikuniku? Well, this game seems to symbolize the path the publisher has been taking for some time now, moving away from the monotonous identity that made it famous…

The Red Strings Club — a lesson in humanity

Never before has a video game made me reflect so deeply on such a wide range of subjects. Laden with philosophy, The Red Strings Club immerses the player in a profoundly controversial and dualistic narrative.

The Spanish independent gaming industry had a remarkable presence in 2018. Whether it was Moonlighter, developed by Digital Sun in Valencia, or GRIS, developed by Nomada Studio in Barcelona, players were treated to incredible games originating from the Iberian country. The Red Strings Club, created by Deconstructeam from Valencia and published by Devolver Digital on January 22, 2018, follows suit…

Sunless Skies — terrifying irrationality

Sunless Skies is a game with a narrative so vivid, intense, and complex that it might be better suited for a book. The game as a whole would be mediocre at best if it weren't for this aspect.

One of the greatest wonders of games is their ability to evoke emotions. Some games reign with love, while others with hatred. However, none could leave you as frightened as this one. This review is about the game that stands on the threshold between games and books, truly merging the two. Its name is Sunless Skies, and its narrative was crafted by Chris Gardiner, James Chew, and Olivia Wood.…

We Happy Few — a frustrating tale about happiness

We Happy Few is ultimately a poorly organized and identity-lacking game. It draws inspiration from great games but falls into a limbo of poor execution, making it clear that it is nothing more than a copycat.

It would be incredible to see a game inspired by Bioshock succeed. When it was announced at E3 2016, We Happy Few showcased striking elements of horror, an intriguing premise, and had great potential. It was developed by Compulsion Games and published by Gearbox Publishing for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. We Happy Few is a game that blends several genres: stealth, survival, adventure, horror, and RPG.…

The AAA gaming industry is a perfect example of the failure of unregulated capitalism

The current system only works for a few.

It has become common for gamers to protest against reprehensible actions by major video game companies—and that is undoubtedly a positive thing. However, it is somewhat contradictory that many of these people are the first to oppose vaguely socialist ideas and staunchly support the free market without regulations or government intervention. Because when you stop and think about it, the AAA video…
