Syberia: The World Before: An Enjoyable Unoriginal Mystery – PC Preview
I have to admit, I’m not the most familiar with the Syberia game series. In fact, until now, the most experience I have had with one is seeing the ill-received Syberia 3 in the coming soon section at my local Games store. Therefore, I went into the preview of the fourth instalment of the late…

Hipster Cafe: Building Your Hipster Haven – Demo Preview
Steam’s Next Fest is here, and with it comes a plethora of demos from all different genres for everyone to try. Hipster Cafe, from the folk at useful slug, is a great demo that everyone must try during the event. I was initially interested in Hipster Cafe due to the meta humour within the game.…

Anger Foot: High-Speed Bass-Boosting Insanity – Demo Preview
Anger Foot is a fast, hard-hitting, brutal, run and gun game, released as a 7DFPS entry by Robbie Fraser, Luc Wolthers, Jem Smith and Jason Sutherland. I first played the game a little over a year ago when it took no more than ten minutes to beat. While it was quite short, I enjoyed my…

Tinykin: Brilliantly Innovative & Remarkably Unique – Demo Preview
Tinykin is a startlingly innovative achievement and a spectacularly unique marvel that was a genuinely delightful experience from start to finish. It is undoubtedly one of the most outstandingly exceptional games I have ever played, and I firmly believe it is easily a contender for the best indie game of the year. “Exploring these dreamlike…

PRIM: A Creepy But Cute Adventure – Demo Preview
PRIM, developed and published by Common Colors, is one demo available at The Big Adventure Event that I couldn’t pass up. The game is heavily influenced by the classic adventure game, Monkey Island, as well as Greek Mythology, and if you’re a Tim Burton fan, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported straight into Corpse…

Organs Please: Humans Are Great Fuel – Demo Preview
Steam’s The Big Adventure Event is live right now, and there are plenty of unique indie video game demos. Organs Please caught my eye from its unique artwork, but I never thought harvesting humans for resources could be so fun. Organs Please can be quite complicated at first. If you skip any of the text…

The Big Adventure Event is a digital event on Steam that celebrates indie adventure games, and there are plenty of fantastic playable demos. Catie in MeowmeowLand, developed by ARTillery and published by Blowfish Studios and Gamera Game, quickly caught my eye, because honestly, who wouldn’t want to visit a land of cats. As previously mentioned,…

The Anacrusis: A Shameful Waste Of Potential – Xbox Series S Preview
Gaming culture has reached a point in which developers and publishers believe it is acceptable to release a game in a broken state with the promise that it will be inevitably fixed. We wait patiently for updates as if they are new games in and of themselves, and continue to recklessly purchase games that are…

Electrician Simulator – First Shock: Dad Will Be So Proud – PC Preview
I have never had the urge to become an electrician or take on any trade at all. However, my dad always wanted me to be a “sparky”. Unfortunately for him, Electrician Simulator will be the closest I will ever get to fixing electricity, and arguably, the most fun. Electrician Simulator – First Shock is an intriguing…

Wartales: A Legendary Fantasy RPG – PC Early Access Preview
I have been extremely unwell this past week. In between bouts of curling up on the sofa as my face ached from the constant sniffing and coughing and my restless eyes were barely able to concentrate on the fifth rewatch of Nathan For You, I tried my best to finish work. Wartales, a game I…

Trenches: World War 1 Horror Survival Game – Early Access Preview
Jump scares are used a lot in modern media and can be used to terrify the audience. I, for one, fall victim to them in most horror movies, and they usually render me temporarily immobile from the fright. I was halfway through my first run of the Trenches when I paused the game; unable to…
