Get ready to croak… again [Art byKa92] Kero Blasteris one of those games where the second I publishedits review on Destructoid, people started questioning the score that I gave it. “How can a three-hour 2D run and gun platformer with two-frame run animations be a 9/10?” they asked. “Looks like something I’ll wait to get on sale…” they said. I understand these kinds of fixed standards for what makes a game worth buying, but the fact of the matter is, some games defy those standards....

Legendary developer and founder of Onion Games Despite having worked on big name franchises likeRomancing SaGa, No More Heroes, andLittle King’s Story,Yoshiro Kimurais not a name everyone in gaming is familiar with. It may just be a matter of time until that changes, especially seeing how cynical and negativity-soaked many people’s online experiences are these days. Remember whenBob Rosssuddenly got huge on Twitch? People were hungry for pure, genuine positivity in the face of a social media culture that almost always rewards negativity and snark with attention, while remaining suspicious and critical of anyone who seems to actually care about anything....
