Lollipop Chainsaw Repop update 1.06

Heads up for Lollipop Chainsaw Repop players on Nintendo Switch: a new version 1.06 update is now available.

Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered review

System: Switch
Release date: October 31, 2024
Developer: Grasshopper Manufacture / Engine Software

When a game is given the label of “cult classic,” in my experience, this is typically due to one of two possible scenarios occurring. The first is that the game itself was generally deemed above average in terms of quality, but for business or marketing reasons never found a huge audience; this is the optimistic perspective. The second, more cynical perspective is that the game itself ended up as a middling experience due to creative or technical decisions, but managed to find a small fanbase in spite of these issues. Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered boldly labels itself as “a cult classic born from the most creative minds in the industry” on its store pages, so it begs the question: exactly what type of cult classic is this 2011 third-person shooter, and how does it hold up 13 years after its initial release?
