When I first started looking for the best cyberpunk games, I noticed how the neon streets and futuristic cities instantly set the mood. These video games don’t just show technology; they imagine a society where power, machines, and identity collide. The roots of this subgenre come from classic science fiction. Famous authors and filmmakers shaped the style with stories like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Altered Carbon, which helped define the dark aesthetic many modern titles follow. What makes these worlds exciting is the array of play styles. From a story-heavy visual novel to fast hack-and-slash combat or a deep…
Introduction of iron meat From the time I started Iron Meat, the fast-paced run-and-gun shooter style instantly immerses you in a chaotic world. The game throws players into an unusual inter-dimensional invasion where The Meat spreads like an all-consuming biomass. You step into the boots of Va-dim and fight against the spreading horror while trying to stop the growing terrors. The story connects to scientist Yuri Markov, whose risky experiments on the Moon accidentally spawned this nightmare. What I liked most was the mix of classic arcade and console mechanics. Every battle feels intense as mutated victims and twisted machines…
When people talk about portable gaming today, the Nintendo Switch often feels like it has dominated both the handheld market and home console markets. As a long-time Nintendo fan, I’ve watched the industry shift, yet the classic DS line still holds a special place. Back in its heyday, devices like the DS Phat introduced bold ideas such as dual screens and the iconic Dual Screen format. These early Nintendo DS models showed the finest craftsmanship, even if not all the various models were created equally in terms of size, brightness, and button quality. The company behind it all, Nintendo, built…
Before I talk about how it feels to play, it’s worth noting that Pocket Bravery is an indie, 2D, fighting game developed by Brazilian developer Statera Studio and published by PixelHeart and PQube. It was originally released digitally in August 2023 on Steam via the digital store, which already says a lot about its roots. The project was spearheaded by Jonathan “Jon Satella” Ferreira, with Anderson Halfeld as creative director, and that leadership shows in the polish. Later, ports for consoles arrived in April 2025, expanding its reach beyond PC and giving more players a chance to experience it. Story…
In modern video games, I’ve seen how real-world history blends with mythology to create worlds that feel alive. Big franchises like Assassin’s Creed explore different eras and civilizations, drawing deep inspiration from Norse roots. Over the past years, there has been a strong influx of stories based on folklore from the North Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. As someone who truly loves Norse mythology, I notice how players now look for more depth in every game they choose. Many titles bring us into dazzling halls of Valhalla, where ancient gods and goddesses still rule. These myths do more than entertain; they…
When The Legend of Zelda officially turned 40 this month, I felt the importance of those years. This franchise attributes my love for every game, and the 40th anniversary felt like a really momentous occasion. I was waiting patiently, like many fans, for an official announcement from Nintendo. After the date passed without much pomp or circumstance, I saw rumors circulating everywhere, particularly on X. Some were hoping for a huge remaster, a bold remake, or even a new mainline adventure. When Nintendo finally acknowledged Zelda’s big day, it was not a major reveal, but a set of replica toy…
My Journey with Spirit City I had heard about Spirit City and Lofi Sessions when a co-worker reviewed them. Her review praise stayed in the back of my mind, even though I had considered trying other productivity tools before. At first, I figured I would eventually stop using another productivity tool and just waste money. Still, being a total sucker for customisation, decoration, and anything that lets you decorate your room or design character decoration, I ended up buying it. Why I Took It More Seriously I’ve said a million times that I have a terrible memory and short attention…
When people talk about Action, they often call it an odd video game genre label, especially after 2026. Most mainstream games we play in any given year feature some form of fast fights, from Monster Hunter Wilds to Death Stranding 2 on the Beach. The line between styles has become messy, and you can see it at The Game Awards, where voting often scrambles titles with excellent combat into a number of possible categories like Best Action-Adventure or Best RPG. It makes you mean to rethink what the best action game really is these days. For me, it’s not just…
Platformer games remain one of the best video game genres that exist at this moment, and I’ve spent countless hours exploring why they continue to captivate players across all platforms. The foundational appeal of jumping from platform to platform has been a bedrock gaming genre since Super Mario Bros. first showed us what was possible. What makes these games special is how developers have found countless ways to challenge us while keeping the core mechanics simple. Whether you prefer to play on PC, consoles, phones, or other mobile devices, there’s something magical about moving skillfully through proper levels that test…
What are your top 10 Switch games? Even after 7 years with the Switch, my top two games still feel special every time I think about them. Breath of the Wild and TOTK took me to the same place, yet each first play-through felt entirely new and almost magical. I’ve played all the Mario games, and while Mario Odyssey gives me some of my warmest fond memories, I still think Mario 3D World is the best multiplayer Mario for me and my GF, mostly because its solid gameplay keeps things mixed up without relying on Wonder gimmicks, even though Wonder…
