Like most of us, Neal is celebrating some of the remastered titles that are in the pipeline for us, like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. But as cool as remakes have become, wouldn’t it just be better if we had full backwards compatibility?
While he is not one to complain too much about good games, Skirmisher Sayatovich is getting a little bit tired of seeing pointless and excessive sequels that follow on to, yes, more of the same. Those titles tend to flood the game industry these days, and players are starting to drown.
Operencia: The Stolen Sun is a unique tactical RPG with a plot based on Hungarian folklore. It’s also a visually stunning game with good voice acting, so definitely a must-play title for role-players looking for something a little bit different.
This week Skirmisher Sayatovich celebrates the fact that one of his favorite groups of all time, Swedish metal band In Flames, came out with an 8-bit videogame music version of their new album. He loves it so much, he wonders what other bands would sound great in 8-bit.
This week Skirmisher Sayatovich looks at a few emulators that might let him relive some of the glory days of his videogaming past, and get ahead of the coronavirus lockdown blues. But will Legend of Dragoon forever be a dream for him?
Having conquered the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC through Steam, the deck-building, card battling Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales adventure makes its play on the Nintendo Switch. We dive into its colorful and deadly world to see if Thronebreaker has another winning hand.

Puzzle games are often hit or miss these days, as there is a certain science to it that few developers know how to master. They should all take a look at Onyx Lute’s Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions, as it’s one of the very best puzzlers we have come across in years.
Neal is going a little stir crazy this week on coronavirus lockdown. He’s playing colossal role-playing games to pass the time, which sounds like a great strategy. But finding a modern RPG to match the golden titles of yesteryear is proving more challenging than locating a store that still has paper towels.
