It’s an odd thing to say, that in 2019 giving the fans what they want appears to be a taboo amongst publishers. We often encounter long running franchises that suffer from a need to reinvent, much to the chagrin of the people that hold the IP in high regard.

Have you ever looked at an entertainment experience and thought to yourself “who is this for”? That was me last week as I played Shanky: The Vegan’s Nightmare by Artvision games.

2 Genre mashups and Rogue-likes are nothing uncommon currently. In fact, it’s almost become a challenge to find a genre that doesn’t mix with the harsh die/ restart with previous unlocks loop in some way. This has been explored in several ways; Hybrid platformer/ RPGs like Rogue Legacy come to mind, […] Genesis Alpha One – PS4 ReviewJanuary 29, 2019 in PS4 / Reviews tagged alien / Genesis Alpha One / Lost in space / never tell me the odds / ps4 / review / so many variables by Grizz

Few developers could do it like Capcom back in the day. Renowned for their prowess in the eighties and nineties, Capcom provided many a delight when it came to arcade and home console gameplay.
