Super Meat Boy Forever: A Certified Mobile Game – Switch Review
The original Super Meat Boy had me playing for hours and falling completely in love with Meat Boy. Having heard that the sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever, was originally going to be a mobile game, I was skeptical about trying it.

Pocket Watch: A Beautiful Puzzle Game With A Lot Of Charm
Pocket Watch is a beautiful, intricate game that fills me with so much warmth. I can tell you now, this one is a keeper. Pocket Watch is deceptively simple at first. You awaken on an island and spend the first few hours of the day fixing a boat before eventually sailing to Vulcano City. It’s…

Bright Lancer: A Short, Beautiful Roguelike With a Lot of Potential
“Hyper Light Drifter meets Hades” is a tantalizing prospect, and while Bright Lancer ends perhaps a little too soon, it certainly meets the expectations set by Slo Nod.

Death Tales: Stunning Yet Monotonous – Switch Review
Having not played a 2D platformer for a long time, Death Tales piqued my interest from its vivid level design and simplistic gameplay, but sadly, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes: A Brutal, Exhilarating Souls-Like – PC Review
Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is one hell of an action rogue-lite game. This game is certainly not for the faint of heart as it is jam-packed with blood, gross fleshy chunks, and horrifying creatures that are deeply disturbing at times. I don’t usually go for games with this graphics style, but this game manages to…
