Gemini – A Journey of Two Stars Review: Celestial Dance

Gemini - A Journey of Two Stars By: Echostone Games LLC In Echostone Games' magical new iOS game Gemini, you control a star on a journey with another star to "light up the sky." It's a story told without words, and yet it's surprisingly powerful. The two stars must work together, because separately they can't soar. I'm not sure how others will interpret it, but to me it's about the importance of…

Deus Ex GO: Review

Deus Ex GO By: SQUARE ENIX INC Deus Ex GO is Square Enix Montreal's third installment in their GO series, which reimagines console games as mobile turn-based puzzlers. I reviewed Lara Croft GO (LCG) back when it came out and I loved everything about it. I only really had two issues with it -- the lack of an undo button and the long loading times when restarting a level. The developers did…

Guild of Dungeoneering Review: Death is Just a Formality

Guild of Dungeoneering By: Gambrinous The fact that I finished Gambrinous' Guild of Dungeoneering despite many distractions -- believe it or not -- says a lot about the game. In today's oversaturated App Store, it's not uncommon for me to start a game and then forget about it the second another one comes along. Every week there are so many games fighting for my attention. Many games that would have easily grabbed…

Never Alone Ki Edition Review: A World Worth Visiting, Despite Some Issues

Never Alone: Ki Edition By: E-Line Media I'd been hoping that Never Alone would make it to iOS ever since I heard it announced for PC and consoles. As an animal lover, the ability to play as an arctic fox had huge appeal. I'm also a sucker for gorgeous graphics, especially of outdoor environments. I appreciate the beauty of snowy landscapes, even if I find them a bit too harsh to live…

Tormentum – Dark Sorrow Review: A Gorgeous Journey Through A Giger-Inspired World

Tormentum - Dark Sorrow By: OhNoo Studio OoNoo Studio's Tormentum - Dark Sorrow came out on PC in 2015, but I hadn't heard of it until I saw the Kickstarter for their upcoming game, Tsioque. I was excited to learn then that they had plans to not just port Tsioque to iOS, but Tormentum as well. I knew very little about it, but the screenshots alone were enough to pique my interest.…

Telepaint Review: The Puzzle Platformer for People Who Hate Platformers

Telepaint By: Acid Nerve I'm not a big fan of platforming games, especially on a touch screen. They usually require a lot of precision, and despite my brain knowing what needs to be done, my fingers can't always make it happen. I can probably count on one hand the number of platformers I've completed. But I just finished every level of Acid Nerve's new iOS game, Telepaint. It's basically a puzzle platformer…

Danger Dodgers Review: Whoosh! Tralalala! Wheeee!

Danger Dodgers By: Uppercut Games Pty Ltd I don't write too many reviews of free games, because I figure I can just recommend those I think are worth trying, and players can decide for themselves if it's worth their time. But occasionally a free game comes along that does everything right and I'm enjoying it so much, that I feel the need to review it. Uppercut Games' newly released Danger Dodgers is…
