It has elements of many games, but the audience that really needs to play Tunic is the retro community that has a love for cryptic NES games. Tunic, in a far less punishing way, captures the NES feeling of being dropped into a world with no sense of direction, and no explanation of how to play.
September ended up being an insanely good month for video games. COGconnected published more 90+ review scores this month than any other in recent memory. Most of the major releases were excellent, but there were some unexpected gems that shone incredibly brightly.
October is always a massive month for video game releases, and October 2022 is no exception. It was pretty obvious what the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in October 2022 would be, but we were still shocked at some of the games we had to omit.
If you liked The Isle Dragon Roars, and The Forsaken Maiden, you’re guaranteed to enjoy The Beasts of Burden. If you’re new to the series, Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden is arguably the best of the bunch, and would make a great entry point for anyone curious.
Inscryption appears to be a very niche roguelite deck-building card game. But it turns into so much more. It’s a must play for anyone who is a fan of experimental videogame storytelling.
I really wanted to love Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness. Sadly, the end result is worse than the sum of its parts.
August was a great month for quality games. There were a lot of titles that COGconnected rated in the mid-80s, which easily could’ve made it on any other month’s top games list.
Fall is upon us! And that means video game release numbers are massively increasing. There are so many games that could be in our Top 5 Video Games Arriving in September 2022.
Cursed to Golf is a great idea for a game. It’s a very difficult 2D golf game with precise controls. Although it’s a Roguelike, I enjoyed it less like I enjoyed Hades, and more like I enjoyed Super Meat Boy.
Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince is an amazing 2D Zelda clone. It might be the best 2D Zelda clone, easily challenging The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening as the Switch’s best offering.
