Retro review: World of Goo

World of Goo is not your regular videogame. Instead of having some overpowered bosses and enemies, you have goo. Instead of complicated controls and gimmicks, you have goo. And instead of having a good story, well, I think you see where I'm going with this. But they do give you a good story.

It may seem like a weird idea at first, but back in the day World of Goo was extremely popular. And it was even nominated for several awards, including an Innovation Design award at the Independent Games Festival.

These are different times, though. Games have evolved and they're more complicated now, even on mobile. So a simple game about Goo is still entertaining? Let's find out in today's retro review.

Arcade review: Jenny LeClue – Detectivu

Everyone loves a good mystery game, but we don't get many of those on the App Store. Sure, there are mystery games for you to play, but they are not the vast majority. Not the good ones, anyway.

That's why I was looking forward to playing Jenny LeClue - Detectivu. A murder mystery literally at my fingertips. And now that we've got the chance to play it, it's time to see if it's the mystery adventure I was waiting for, or if it's just another forgettable game. Fingers crossed.

Retro review: Geometry Dash

When you hear Geometry Dash, you probably remember the nightmares you got from this game. It's probably one of the most frustrating games that have ever been on the iPhone. And yet, you still wanted to play it.

Nowadays, you don't hear about the game as much, which makes sense. Not only it has been out for a little over 6 years now, but it’s got other more recent spin-offs. Now there's an even more popular and frustrating game on the App Store, the infamous Getting Over It. So should you still play Geometry Dash in 2019? Or should you try one of the other games that will cause you the same amount of frustration and emotional pain? Let's find out on today's retro review.

Retro review: Infinity Blade

Do you remember when Epic Games actually made epic games? No, I'm not talking about Fortnite, I'm talking about an objectively good game: Infinity Blade. This game took the world by storm when it first came out in 2010 and it was the first game on iOS to use the Unreal Engine.

This game made over $1.6 million in its first week and $23 million by the end of 2011. Epic Games knows how to make high-grossing games, I'll give them that. Due to its success, it got two sequels and even got two novellas. Now, the game is just a memory that's almost forgotten. I'm saying almost because we're bringing back for today's retro review.
