Dream Cycle: A Boring, Empty, Endless Nightmare – Early Access Preview
Dream Cycle initially grew in popularity thanks to its developer’s history with the Lara Croft series. When I first heard about it, I was just excited for the highly replayable procedurally generated souls-like action. I honestly couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, Dream Cycle fell far too short of my expectations. It…

SkateBIRD: Tony Hawk’s Baby Brother – PC Review
I’m relatively new to the skateboarding simulation genre. While I’m fully aware of the significant cultural impact the incredible Tony Hawk games have had in gaming culture, it’s never been something that’s grabbed my attention. But when I saw SkateBIRD, a game in which you play a bird in a big world grinding away on…

Kitaria Fables: A Cute But Dull RPG – Switch Review
I hadn’t heard of Kitaria Fables before I came to review it. However, upon looking further into what it was about, I felt it sounded pretty interesting. I mean, when“Zelda meets Stardew Valley” is a common comparison, I couldn’t exactly say no. It sounded pretty good to me. Breath of the Wild is one of…

There is no shortage of action roguelike games in today’s indie game market. However, what is in short supply are 3D third-person roguelikes, especially ones that look as visually stunning as Rogue Spirit.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale – PS5 Review
Stories come in all shapes and sizes. Most games tell stories about love, loss, heartbreak, hope, or revenge. And while these may be important issues for some, I find myself a little disconnected. Fortunately, I haven’t experienced a lot of the feelings that many stories portray. However, Chicory: A Colorful Tale tells a deep story,…

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…

Hot Pot For One: An Almost Nostalgic Experience – PC Review
I sincerely wanted to like Hot Pot For One. The first time I’d heard about it was during the Wholesome Direct, which, admittedly had me all amped up after a slew of fantastic game announcements. Once the event had finished, I scurried over to Steam and picked this one up. I didn’t really know what…

When I first laid eyes on Clawfish at the Wholesome Direct and saw those sweet words “available now” I couldn’t help but run, metaphorically, of course, straight to Steam and nab it. Now, after a brief, but beautiful stay in Clawfish’s ethereal world my departure feels somewhat bittersweet. While my heart sunk as I was…

Mind Scanners Review: Wonderfully Weird – PC Review
As the oscillations of synth-wave washed over the glowing red-tinted crunchy pixels, I knew I was in for something good. Although its obtuse mechanics and strict deadlines can lead to moments of frustration, the unrelenting weirdness of Mind Scanners’ take on dystopian bureaucracy is a thrilling trip that anyone with a love for Orwellian nightmares…
