~ Game Over ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BloodRayne ReVamped<\/strong> (PC) – I probably would have enjoyed this to a greater degree if I’d played it back in 2002, but… Oof, it has not aged all that well. There are some good ideas in there, but it needs more polish and doesn’t feel cohesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donkey Kong Land<\/strong> (GB) – I started this back in December, then promptly forgot about it. Why? Because it’s a poo-poo game. Well, not that<\/em> bad, but it ain’t great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HoloCure: Save the Fans!<\/strong> (PC) – I really only just booted it up to play a couple rounds, but there’s been an update that added a new stage and a bunch of new characters. Maybe more, I’m not sure. But I figured it was worth mentioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Hole<\/strong> (PC) – What I thought was going to be a tongue-in-cheek indie horror game turned out to be far, far<\/em> more serious. I found it interesting artistically, but with themes of addiction, domestic abuse, and worse<\/em>, I certainly couldn’t say it was fun<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechstermination Force<\/strong> (Switch) – I felt randomly compelled to pick up this 2019 game that I never finished for some reason. Upon finishing it, I realized that “some reason” is likely that the controls are really loosey-goosey, which is not great for a game that requires a fair amount of precision movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawling Lab<\/strong> (PC) – An FPS roguelite where you battle against waves of murderous robots. Cheaply made and, as such, could use a little more polish, but still fun. Also all of the robots are shaped like women with gigantic breasts. *shrug* <\/p>\n\n\n\n
