Undungeon: Haunt A Shattered Multiverse – Demo Preview
When I first noticed Undungeon, I was just excited to get my hands on a post-apocalyptic action game for Steam Next Fest. This event has been an exciting time for me and a great way to relieve stress by doing what I enjoy. I originally had not intended to write anything on the game. However,…

Wildcat Gun Machine: Nostalgic Bullet Hell Fun – Demo Preview
When I was young the bullet-hell genre, the flashiest and loudest of video game genres, was aptly a staple at arcades. I still recall those flashing lights and the sound of sliding coins over deafening edgy announcers fighting for my attention. In a way, the genre perfectly encapsulates the experience of the arcade. Dancing between…

Battle Bands: A Rocking Good Time – Demo Preview
Card games are, by and large, heavily responsible for my love of game design. Growing up I’d often play Pinochle games with my Grandparents and Blackjack, Speed, and War at family gatherings. These along with exploring the latest TCG to hit the playground were all important steps toward designing my own card games. To make…

Cyberpunk Detective RPG, Gamedec, is Coming to PC Soon
Publisher and developer, Anshar Studios, is releasing their isometric cyberpunk RPG, Gamedec, on PC this September. Anshar Studios may seem out of their element with the virtual reality shooters, Detached and Telefrag VR, under their belt.

A Township Tale: An Uneasy Journey – Oculus Quest Review
Expectations can be difficult to express when it comes to Virtual Reality (VR) games. I often find myself surprised with the innovative ways games will tackle the limitations of the technology. A Township Tale, by Alta, is a perfect example of what Virtual Reality can accomplish. Unfortunately, I found the game to be quite rough…

Paint The Town Red: Mayhem At Its Finest – PC Review
Ingenuity is a trait I actively seek out when searching for games. I love exploring new territory, be it an innovative crafting system or a novel take on combat. For me, gaming is a lot about familiarising myself with the unknown. While I have a penchant for the experimental side of gaming, I recognise that…

Death’s Door: A Thought-Provoking Experience – PC Review
Death is not an easy business for a harbinger of souls. As reapers, crows slave away collecting souls needed to power magical doors. When a door opens, a reaper must acquire the assigned soul to close that door. One look at the office and it is easy to see the monotony of the job has…

GLITCHED: A Potential Pixelated Masterpiece – Demo Preview
GLITCHED is one of the games available at Steam Next Fest and it was a demo that I jumped into expecting to have a good time. I love stories that succeed at breaking the fourth wall and utilising comedy to discuss tough subjects. I left with a burning desire to solve its mysteries and further…

Hood: Outlaws and Legends: An Excellent Starting Point – PS4 Review
When it comes to multiplayer games, I tend to favour cooperation over competition. I find myself avoiding games like Call of Duty with its K/D ratios in favour of something more akin to Monster Hunter Rise. I enjoy working off another player’s strengths to improve chances of success. When a game combines these conflicting elements,…

Say No! More: Absolutely Worth Saying Yes To – PC Review
I’ve always found RPGs to be a superior form of escapism because they can easily reach beyond the typical power fantasy. Sure, Geralt of Rivia is a monster butchering badass, but he exists within a world of wonder, mystery, and personality. Undertale tests your patience and skill but does so by masterfully weaving those elements…
