Snake Pass is the unique new platforming adventure game from developer Sumo Digital. It is reminiscent of classic Rare 3D platformers. But does it live up to the genre’s predecessors? Let’s look at it in this review of Snake Pass for Xbox One and Windows 10.
In the NES days, I was a fan of the Disney afterschool cartoons. I watched every episode of Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Rescue Rangers, etc. that I could. As a young gamer, it was only fitting that I wanted to play these cartoon adventures in video game form.
Capcom was always there to capitalize on my fandom with well-made games. My sister (6 years younger than I) and I played through all of Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers in co-op, multiple times. Sure, there were sections that I needed to pick up her character and carry her through (which always made her angry), but we did it together.
Ducktales was remastered in HD several years ago, and apparently it sparked something in my generation. Gen X/Y gamers who grew up with these Disney classics were thirsty for more. And now Capcom has answered our call.

Riptide GP: Renegade is the latest watercraft-based racing game from developer Vector Unit. Vector Unit has found their niche with the racing genre, and it seems to be a comfortable groove for them. Renegade is a ‘back to their roots’ release which harkens back to their popular release Hydro Thunder Hurricane and the two previous Riptide GP games.
