STAR WARS: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is back, and it’s ready to rekindle your nostalgia for classic lightsaber-swinging action. Originally released on the Dreamcast and PlayStation in the early 2000s, the game has returned with a few visual upgrades, some minor enhancements, and a fresh opportunity for players to relive the chaotic fun of this old-school beat-‘em-up. However, calling it a “remaster” may be a bit generous. While the game’s core remains as enjoyable (and frustrating) as ever, it’s clear that this release is more of a re-release than a full-scale modernization. Jedi Action and Co-op Mayhem For those…

Developed by Exalted Studio, this game blends charming visuals with dynamic combat across imaginative worlds. While it might draw comparisons to Castle Crashers, Big Helmet Heroes crafts its own identity with beautifully animated cutscenes, four distinct combat styles, and engaging co-op gameplay.

Inspired by the eerie, nostalgic unease of liminal spaces and the “backrooms” aesthetic, Dreamcore drops you into an uncanny world where nothing feels quite real—and that’s precisely what makes it so unnerving. Rather than guiding you with clear objectives or waypoints, Dreamcore leaves you to wander, observe, and piece together its surreal…

A Classic Reborn—or Stuck in the Past? Montezuma’s Revenge is one of the most influential platformers from the early 1980s, often credited as a precursor to the Metroidvania genre. Now, four decades later, Montezuma’s Revenge: The 40th Anniversary Edition attempts to bring the classic back to life with a fresh 2.5D coat of paint and expanded content. However, while the game aims to preserve its roots, it does so to a fault, failing to modernize the mechanics in a way that would make it enjoyable for today’s players. Rather than refining the experience, this remake feels like a direct portal…
