We’ve already played some platformer classics on the Playstation 2, but I didn’t even notice many of them at the time. That’s exactly what happened to me with “Sly Cooper” – a game loved by many that was suggested to me recently. We tried the first part of the trilogy; You can read how I liked it here.

Planet of Nino or: the perfect blend
Today we’re talking about a game that really surprised me in a positive way: “Planet of Lana”. It’s a puzzle platformer, which is the same genre as “Inside” and “Limbo” – so my expectations were low. However, I quite liked the style and since it was available on Gamepass, the risk was low – so I gave it a chance.

Games with a Disney license are always quite easy to evaluate, because in my experience they only come in two forms: either a grandiose adventure or a quick and cheap license recycling. Today’s game definitely belongs in the first category, mainly because of some interesting features. Let’s discuss them here.

As most of you probably already know, I’m a huge fan of the tv show “Family Guy”. I don’t know why, but I just love the mixture of very dull and very profound humor – more than the competition from, for example, “The Simpsons”. This article is not supposed to be about the show, but about the video game of the same name – does it get me hooked just like the show?

Today we’re not just talking about one game, but three – and somehow an entire series. “Ratchet and Clank” is a classic on the Playstation that has lasted for decades. So far I’ve only had the pleasure on the PSP, so it was time to catch up on the first three parts. You can read here whether it was worth it.

The game we’re going to be exploring today is one of my favorite genres of all: free. Well, it’s not free per se, but a viewer was kind enough to gift it to me. But I’m not averse to the actual genre either, namely the 2D platformers. That’s why we took a look at Celeste on two afternoons and climbed a mountain – you can read here how it went.
Continue readingSpongeBob: Bikini Bottom, Re-Rehydrated
“SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated” is a video game from the – go figure – SpongeBob SquarePants universe. It is the re-release of the original title from 2003 and was a very entertaining jump’n’run game for us almost two years ago. A new installment was released this year with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. I was really excited about the old part, so we played the new one shortly after it was released. Read here what I think about it.

Today’s article is about two games that I loved then and still love: Lego Star Wars I and II. They were the first two Lego games developed by Traveller’s Tales and inspired virtually all subsequent Lego video games – plus they have sparked my enthusiasm for it. How exactly can you read here.

Puzzle and VR – a mixture that, in my opinion, harmonizes perfectly, but can also go completely wrong. I’m a big fan of both genres, so today’s games definitely piqued my interest: Moss Book I and II. First released exclusively for PS VR, but thankfully later for PC. A strange mix of classic and VR controls. And a special main character – can that be good?
Continue readingInside Limbo
In today’s post, we’re talking about two games we’ve been playing a couple of weeks ago, namely Limbo and Inside. They were created by the same developer and are very similar in many respects, so my rating is similar for both. You can now read how I found them.
