Rogue Lords
Review

Rogue Lords Review

Rogue Lords is an interesting tactical roguelike with some spooky theming. Does it give the devil his due or fail to really bite? Our review

Cloud Gardens Review Diorama
Review

Cloud Gardens Review

Cloud Gardens is a dystopian sandbox puzzle-slash-sim from Noio where you make the most of the apocalypse by making plants grow. It’s an ultra-Zen title that forces you to slow down, think about life, and do a little gardening - which is a totally welcome experience for when you need a breath of fresh air in today’s suffocating world.

Hot Wheels Key Art
Review

Hot Wheels Unleashed Review

Hot Wheels Unleashed is a pretty-looking game with a fairly limitless track-building mode that helps keep the races fresh, but an ancient method of car collection and a questionably included "story mode" hold the game back from shining.

Review

Severed Steel Review

Severed Steel's slow motion, slick movement, and variety of weapon types will make you feel more powerful than the Doom Slayer when you pull the trigger.

UnMetal Key Art
Review

UnMetal Review

UnMetal is a comedic stealth-action game that parodies the original Metal Gear titles on NES and MSX but takes itself far less seriously.

Review

In Sound Mind Review

In Sound Mind combines psychological horror and a soundtrack by The Living Tombstone. Is that enough to be worth going crazy over?

Review

Astria Ascending Review

Backed by the former developers on Final Fantasy, Astria Ascending is a hand drawn turn-based JRPG from Artisan Studios. While it hits some high notes with the combat, it disappoints in other areas.

SkateBIRD - Key Art
Review

SkateBIRD Review

SkateBIRD is a skateboarding indie game from Glass Bottom Games that asks the real questions of life. What would happen if a bird found a tech deck and then watch an old Bones Brigade video?

Audeze Mobius Gaming Headset Review

The Audeze Mobius Gaming Headset is an excellent, if expensive, headset that more than makes up for its hefty cost. Our review

Bloodwash Screenshot 1
Review

Bloodwash Review

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a ‘good’ game in the sense of it having deep mechanics, but for what it tries to emulate, Bloodwash offers the best form of horror entertainment this side of a video nasty VHS.

September 21, 2021 | 11:00 EDT

Timothy's Night House
Review

Timothy's Night Review

You'd think a new title and expanded features would inspire more critiquing on the original core design as well; instead, I'm really just experiencing the new-gen version of Timothy vs. the Aliens.  Through that lens, Timothy's Night is a one-trick pony with a nasty limp.

The Repairing Mantis - Key Art
Review

The Repairing Mantis Review

The Repairing Mantis is a first-person indie horror title about a praying mantis that's trying to repair a bridge and the squirrels that she meets on the way.

Lake Review

The term "Zen game" gets bandied around for many indie games. That may be apropos for Lake too, but chill games still need to be engaging

Gamedec Review

Gamedec - Cyberpunk 2077 meets Disco Elysium - is far more unique than that mashup makes it sound. If you want to know why, here is our review:

Lost Judgment close-up of Yagami with Kaito visible in the background
Review

Lost Judgment Review

Lost Judgment is a magnificent sequel, refining nearly fiddly aspect of the original's detective-infused design. Coupled with an excellent narrative that delves into shockingly mature territory, it's hard not to feel an empty hole in your chest once those credits hit.

Taking pictures is a great way to unwind and make memories. Something We Made took that and created a game out of it called TOEM where it's just your curiosity and a trust camera.

Deathloop Review

Arkane Lyon's newest stealth shooter, Deathloop, misses its mark on what made games like Dishonored so special.

Wrath of the Righteous Key Art
Review

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Review

Wrath of the Righteous is as ambitious as you get it’s an epic tale with a cinematic flair we rarely see in the world of isometric RPGs, adds more mechanics and options to its systems, and it is, without a doubt, the best isometric RPG to come out since Planescape: Torment.

BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites Review

Back in 2011, Bloodrayne: Betrayal was a middling action platformer. In 2021, Bloodrayne: Betrayal Fresh Bites is an embarrassment for all involved.

Life is Strange: True Colors Review

Life is Strange: True Colors is one of those rare follow-ups to a classic that not only outshines the original, but also reinvents itself from the ground up without losing what made the series great.

It's not often that I lose an entire weekend to a game, but T-Minus 30's fast-paced gameplay hooked me from the first map.

OIVO Switch Handheld Grip Controller Review

The OIVO Switch Handheld Grip Controller offers a more comfortable alternative for those long handheld play sessions, though its rumble does leave a bit to be desired.

Kitaria Fables Review

Beneath its slightly janky exterior, Kitaria Fables is a decent farming life sim which is unfortunately held back by its lacklustre RPG trappings.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Review

While El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron may have slipped under the radar, it's time to recognize that this hack-and-slash might very well be one of the greatest titles from its generation.

A Total War Saga: Troy - Mythos Review

A Total War Saga: Troy - Mythos is far from flawless, but still a solid addition which builds on some of the features of the base game.

Townscaper Screen 1
Review

Townscaper Review

Townscaper is less of a game, more of a tool to simply play around with. It has no goal either, but that is part of its almost hypnotic charm at being an enjoyable experience that allows us to simply play around as we see fit.

Mecha Knights: Nightmare Review

Review

Rustler Review

Sometimes it's fun to just pick up a controller and jump in to a chaotic adventure. This can also include jumping into the past as with Rustler, a ye olde open-world crime game with lots of horses to steal.

necrobarista
Review

Necrobarista - Final Pour Review

Necrobarista is a visual novel that involves magic, coffee, and the dead, but it isn't quite so exciting as you might think. This shorter visual waxes poetic about death and moving on, yet it never gripped me as I expected it would.
