Beyond the Ice Palace II Review

Corey jumps into this retro revival. A series that picks up over 30 years later. Does it age well or should it stay frozen in the ice palace?

Blasphemous 2 Review

A dark-fantasy sequel that tries to step out of the looming shadow of the original. Various changes make the game more approachable, but overall it doesn't have the same magic as the original.

Souldiers Review

Souldiers has so much potential, but bugs, unresponsive controls, and unnecessary difficulty hold it back from the front lines of the Metroidvania genre.
