Axiom Verge - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!


Axiom Verge is about as close as one can get to Super Metroid (in terms of gameplay - the story is much, much different) yet still be unique. You play as a scientist that wakes up in a bizarre world after an experiment gone awry. As a fan of metroidvanias in general, I was quite happy with this title. Some of your acquired abilities differ slightly from Samus' skillset, but they're still interesting and offer new design space to challenge players with.

You can find a few more of my thoughts on the game at 4:01:12 in the above video, but it's safe to say this one is worth grabbing!

Age of Fear: Free World - The Friday FREE GAME Feature!


Age of Fear: Free World is a turn-based strategy game with combat reminiscent of tabletop skirmish games. While I found battles to be enjoyable enough, the campaign maps seemed way too basic. Being able to visit any location on the map made the "world" feel small and inconsequential. You can find more detailed thoughts on the game at 3:38:05 in the video above.
