PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Play it! I never imagined a twin-stick shooter where playing from the perspective of a girl in a coma was a game that could be pitched or, more importantly, could be so fun! Neverawake is a side-scrolling dive into the human subconscious and a visual masterpiece.
TIME PLAYED
So far, I’ve given Neverawake around three hours of my time, and it’s been a damn good investment! The evil veggies of the forest have been vanquished, and I’m set to conquer the hell hounds of the dog park. I like to take my time when I go through games, but even at three hours, I would say the game is ½ way done, so it’s not long at all.

WHAT’S AWESOME
• The gameplay. The controls are simple, fun, and easy to master. If you are terrible at aiming or shooters in general, the auto-aim function turns this twin-stick shooter into a single-stick experience. Developer Neotro Inc. does a great job of making Neverawake playable for those that might not be the best at the genre.
• The visuals. One of the best aspects of Neverawake is its exciting and unique visuals. Enemy imagery bounces between horrific and fun. Hand-drawn art is combined with three-dimensional elements. The way these styles clash sells the concept of being in a child’s subconscious and sets the atmosphere for confronting a little girl’s inner demons.

• Collectibles. Throughout the game, you’ll get new items for Rem that will make her more of a badass, but you’ll also collect diary entries that push the story along and provide secret information. Finding these goodies added another layer to the fun for me. 
• The narrative. Nevrawake’s plot is multilayered and cleverly woven into the gameplay of the story. The game’s bosses directly relate to Rem’s nightmares and life, and it can get quite dark sometimes.

WHAT SUCKS
• Nope! I didn’t find any major problems with Neverawake. Okay, I got annoyed by some enemies after reaching 90% soul completion rate on a stage, dying, and then having to restart, but it wasn’t enough to spoil my experience.

NeverAwake is a twin-stick shooter, but it’s also a single-stick shooter. It’s a side-scrolling game, but it’s also a vertical scroller. It’s sleek and flashy, but also gruesome and messy. This duality approach might seem like a genre identity issue for NeverAwake, but really, it is a unique fresh take on the shoot ‘em up genre. Set in the subconscious of a girl under a deep coma – Rem, trying to wake up,

Endless Nightmare Review—A Popular Entertainment Turned into Something Spine-Chilling
One down, five more to go. Just 5 more days before Halloween descends from the darkness and graces us with its presence.  So, what better way to embrace the spooky season than by scaring yourself half to death? However, it may be a long time before I’m able to participate in anything creepy IRL with the world the way it is today. At the very least, 707 Interactive’s Endless Nightmare is here to give us a bone-chillingly scary world to explore, notwithstanding the fact that it is a tad inundated with the supernatural.

The Good Neverwinter
It would seem I forgot the definition of monthly, odd. It is also a new year. I haven't posted one of these in three months, you know how it is, get distracted by other things and don't have the time to set aside time for your hobbies. Hello dear viewers, I am your most humblest of reviewers, Delta the Wolf. Today we will be reviewing Neverwinter Nights. This is a game from 2002, yes, but not much content can be found about the game after the recent Enhanced Edition updates, which isn't to be confused with the MMO "Neverwinter." So now, let this review help fill that frustrating lack of finding anything related to the game post 2005. For once, this wolf isn’t completely out of date! (or he is just telling himself that >w>)
