Handsome Phantom's Reviews

6.5 / 10.0 - Backbone
Jun 7, 2021

The game feels provocative in its first few hours, but this isn't enough for a solid recommendation outside of die-hard fans of the point-and-click genre.

8.5 / 10.0 - BIOMUTANT
May 24, 2021

Throughout the game characters remind us that it’s alright to remember the past but the past is just that, the past. We need to focus on the future while using the past as a guide. The team at Experiment 101 have done just that with Biomutant. They created a game that uses elements from games that we’ve loved in the past, while simultaneously moving these elements forward and blending them together to show us that video games can be so much more than we ever imagined they could be.

7.5 / 10.0 - Olija
Jan 28, 2021

Olija is a game that, when it works, is a really fun time. But when you can’t figure out where to go next due to a lack of direction or, even worse, just struggle to string together the right combo with the harpoon it can be incredibly frustrating. Swinging around and teleporting from place to place is incredibly rewarding and you’ll feel like the monarch of video games when you get it exactly right, but the frustrating elements of the combat will definitely test your patience at times. However, it’s worth the frustrations in order to play one of the more original titles we’ll see this year... which is a cool thing for a game that really tried to remind us of games we’ve come to love from our past.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin shines through its strengths of variety, a surprising amount of combat depth, and the accessibility of quick jump and out gameplay. The package is both complimented and enhanced by its coop multiplayer and intriguing story. While its performance and design oddities are enough to raise an eye brow, we don’t think it’s enough to nix the fun that the game offers. 9 Monkeys of Shaolin comes easy to recommend for fans of the genre and worth a look for anyone who likes some mindless fun.

9 / 10.0 - Star Renegades
Sep 7, 2020

Simply put, Star Renegades is an indie masterpiece. The depth of its gameplay and tactics make it one of the most creative and rewarding turn based experiences available today. Couple that with captivating visuals and an endearing story and cast of characters make this one that you cannot miss. As one of our most anticipated indie releases from the last two years, Star Renegades was more than worth the wait.

8.5 / 10.0 - No Straight Roads
Aug 28, 2020

EDM still kind of sucks (no offense) but NO STRAIGHT ROADS convinced me that it has its place even for a devil-horn-throwing rock girl like me.

8.5 / 10.0 - CARRION
Jul 22, 2020

Carrion is often obscure, uncomfortable, unsettling, and distressing. And this is why we loved it.

Do you f@#$%^&* hate rabbits? Boy do we have a game for you.

8 / 10.0 - CrossCode
Jul 3, 2020

Despite some monotonous grinding and areas that can be a bit overburdened with lore, CrossCode (from @RadicalFishGame) should not be missed by those who haven't had the pleasure of experiencing it before.

Sure, there is the nostalgia factor here, it had to be said, but sometimes it takes a bit more than that to make a game with spending your hard-earned money and time on.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is a realistic GT racing game that will thrill fans and bring in new ones that may not be familiar with the circuit. With beautiful graphics and realistic driving mechanics, the only thing holding this game back is the amount of content provided at launch. But at $39.99, there is plenty to keep you busy.

You could do worse than spend 4 or 5 hours with Potata and her lumpy friends but that’s 4 or 5 hours you could spend playing something better. It might keep your kid busy for a few hours?
