1 week ago | thatvideogameblog.com | Arthur Damian

After almost 30 years, it is once again Tail Time. Everyone’s favorite gecko before the GEICO one, Gex, is returning to modern platforms in the Gex Trilogy. Do these three titles hold up better today with quality of life improvements? Or is Gex better left relegated to the past? Onwards to the review! We’ll start with the original Gex, which initially appeared on the 3DO before being ported to the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation. This is the only one of Gex’s adventures in 2D.

Nowadays, one cannot browse multiple online stores for videogames without stumbling upon a plethora of platformers. With so many to choose from, how does any developer stand out to be the next Shovel Knight or Celeste? By being unique. This is how I ended up feeling after my time with Love Eternal at PAX East 2025. Love Eternal is a passion project from a pair of sibling developers.

If you were making a new game in the point-and-click genre, how would you make it unique? Game developer Meredith Gran had some ideas for her next title, Perfect Tides: Station to Station. The PAX East 2025 demo showcased how having conversations and forging relationships could help one level up in life. Perfect Tides: Station to Station is the sequel to Perfect Tides. If you never played the original, don’t worry; you can play the sequel without prior knowledge.

I had mentioned playing Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster at PAX East 2025. What I did not disclose, however, was that Square Enix had another title to demo. What I can now tell you, the gaming masses, is that I got to experience Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake early.
PAX East 2025: Shadow Labyrinth Puts a Spin on Pac-Man

1 month ago | thatvideogameblog.com | Arthur Damian

When thinking of reinventing the classic video game Pac-Man, there are a few ways to go about it. You could make Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, controlling Pac-Man indirectly by pointing him left or right while pelting him with rocks. That’s a bad interpretation of the character. Or you could turn him into a supporting character in a Metroidvania named Shadow Labyrinth. This is the more interesting option. A preview build of Shadow Labyrinth was shown off to the press at PAX East 2025.

Vampires have captured the imaginations of most people since Nosferatu first graced the silver screen way back in the early nineteen hundreds. Since then, there have been many other movies about vampires as well as novels and even other video games that have managed to capture the horror that this imaginary creature brings up in the psyches of fans the world over.

As a callback to the days of the PlayStation 2, developer Slipgate Ironworks and publisher 3D Realms have crafted an experience that will make you dust off your old console and pull out some of those old first-person shooters from back in the day. In Phantom Fury, you take on the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison who has spent the last few years in a coma after her fight with her arch-nemesis, Jadus Heskel.
REVIEW / Savant - Ascent RE-MIX (Steam Deck)

Feb 9, 2024 | thatvideogameblog.com | David Logan

Shooters in the video game space, twin-stick shooters to be exact, have come a long way since they first blasted onto the videogame stage. From the side-scrollers of the early days to the top-down shooters of more recent history, twin-stick shooters have cemented their place in the gaming landscape. If you combine this storied genre with a bit of strategic platforming you have what developer/publisher D-Pad Studios calls a shooter with a twist.
PREVIEW / SteamWorld Build (PC)

Nov 26, 2023 | thatvideogameblog.com | Cody L. Shults

In the ever-expanding realm of addicting city-building simulations, a new contender is stepping onto the stage, but the steampunk aesthetics should look relatively familiar. SteamWorld Build, based on the SteamWorld franchise that has been digging away on our PCs and consoles for the past decade, is a city simulator that marries the charm of steampunk with the strategy of intricate city planning and resource management. SteamWorld Build is set against a backdrop of Old West landscapes.
