The Legend of Cyber Cowboy | PS5 Review

Eastasiasoft, and their onboard developer aim to wow Westerners this New Year with their own take on "The Binding of Isaac"! This inspired indie is about as straightforward as they get though. Missing the mark completely with a lack of additional features, a plot, and fair gameplay mechanics. You are simply a cyber cowboy in a cyber version of the Wild West taking out baddies room by room as you loot them for coin that can be spent on limited use gun upgrades. 

Additionally at your disposal is your gun of choice, your health, a stamina meter, and the ability to dash out of harm's way tied to the limited stamina. With these tools you must not only go room to room cleaning house but must face giant bullet hell bosses who are brutally unforgiving, and damn near undefeatable.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Late Season Retrospect

I am currently deep into chapter 6 season 1 of Fortnite, and I have to admit it has turned out to be one of the more interesting chapter starters. Everything from the Japanese themed map to the neo-feudal character designs really hit the spot. While the chapter started off with a huge XP earnings problem that has since been resolved through Epic Games adding a lot of new ways to unlock tiers on the battle pass things have seemingly worked out for the best. The initial adjustment to the battle star system was rightfully met with criticism, but it was nice to see Epic correct course.

Super Spy Raccoon | Switch Review

High scoring arcade action returns in the guise of yet another Nintendo Switch ported 2D collect-a-thon platformer from the Flynn's Arcade label! This stealthy Donkey Kong inspired game known as, "Super Spy Raccoon" has you playing as the titular tie and suit wearing Romeo Raccoon as he goes about stealing intel from the game's super villain. 

This job, assuming you choose to accept it, entails dodging the view of lurking humanoid animal kingdom baddies while using cover, and an invincibility power-up to collect vanilla, and gold colored classified documents each worth a set amount of points. Collecting all of these clears a stage, and as per usual there are a series of themed stages with their own hazards, and guards waiting to spot the elusive Romeo as he goes about business. Getting enough points will net you a bonus life which is needed in this extremely challenging experience.
