September 27, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
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?
September 24, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
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 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.
September 17, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
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
September 17, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
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:
September 16, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
TOEM Review
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.

The Artful Escape Review
Beethoven & Dinosaur's first album isn't without sizable warts, but the infectious passion is felt through each track.
September 8, 2021 | 12:30 EDT
Encased Review
It's not everyday that someone would try to contain a post-apocalyptic world, but that's what Dark Crystal Games has done. They've trapped a dangerous and anomalous world Encased and it's up to you to learn its secrets.
September 6, 2021 | 08:00 EDT
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.
September 3, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
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.
August 30, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Mecha Knights: Nightmare Review
To pilot a giant robot would be pretty sweet if only to take it for a joyride. But right now you've got an important mission: To jump into Mecha Knights: Nightmare and pilot a robot to fight horrifying monsters.
August 30, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
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.
August 30, 2021 | 09:00 EDT
Tormented Souls Review
Tormented Souls is a very clumsy and corny survival horror game that plays like a love letter to genre giants.
August 27, 2021 | 11:00 EDT

Greak: Memories Of Azur Review
A lot of games revolve around the bonds between siblings and Greak: Memories Of Azur makes gameplay out of it. Guide the siblings Greak, Adara and Raydel out of danger and use their different abilities to overcome the dangers ahead.

Foreclosed Review
We take a look at Foreclosed, a new cyberpunk shooter pledging to mix Deus Ex and Max Payne. Can it fulfil such a lofty promise?
August 12, 2021 | 09:00 EDT
Night Book Review
Regardless of my respect for Wales and developer Good Gate Media making this under rough circumstances, the game proper still feels incomplete.
August 11, 2021 | 11:30 EDT
Vomitoreum Review
Vomitoreum is an incredibly unique Doom total conversion that pushes the GZDoom engine well beyond what you would think is possible.
August 11, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
City of Gangsters Review
City of Gangsters is strategy mafia management game that excels with its character interaction and trading mechanics, and is just as much fun as the giants of the strategy genre.
August 9, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Glyph Review
Glyph is a 3D platformer that offers players a unique gameplay experience set in a barren wasteland. What the game lacks in charm, it makes up for in satisfying mechanics.
August 9, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Toodee and Topdee Review
The way a game's visuals are angled is very important in determining how a game feels and plays. So, what if two angles are combined and switching between them becomes the gameplay? Meet the duo Toodee and Topdee who must master their different perspectives to save the universe!
August 3, 2021 | 09:00 EDT
Lost At Sea Review
Studio Fizbin's first foray into the first-person narrative adventure sub-genre is their most uncreative work thus far.
July 30, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Eldest Souls Review
Eldest Souls is a challenging boss-rush title set in a beautiful pixel-art world. It may not offer the most dynamic combat or gameplay mechanics, but it makes up for that with intense and creative boss battles.
July 30, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Chernobylite Review
Chernobylite is nearly impossible to put in a specific genre and it feels generally unpolished, but the sheer amount of fun and excitement that it provides makes the game more than worth playing.
July 29, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Unbound: Worlds Apart Review
Thinking with portals has gotten to a level beyond using them to jump to different worlds. This time, it's using them to have the properties of other worlds affect your world in Unbound: Worlds Apart.
July 28, 2021 | 01:00 EDT
Streets of Rage 4 - Mr. X Nightmare Review
Streets of Rage 4 was incredible. The one thing that was missing was more of it. Luckily, the developers noticed and brought us the Mr. X Nightmare.
July 28, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Walden, a game Review
From its boring gameplay loop to design decisions implicitly contradicting Thoreau's greater messages, USC Games has crafted an ill-conceived adaptation.
July 19, 2021 | 01:00 EDT
Mini Motorways Review
Mini Motorways is an enjoyable and often beautiful puzzler but the lack of long term replayability makes it harder to recommend over its already excellent predecessor.
July 19, 2021 | 11:05 EDT
Pine Creek Review
Pine Creek’s world building, immersive storytelling, and use of modern gameplay conventions, help the game stand out as one of the best indiependent Game Boy games available today.
July 16, 2021 | 12:00 EDT
Raptor Boyfriend Review
Raptor Boyfriend is a charming visual novel which strikes the perfect balance between comedy and cosiness.
July 15, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Warrior Boy Review
From its generic title to its abysmally unbalanced combat, TADVGames' freshmen effort exists as an unkempt hitchhiker in my memory. It's sad when Warrior Boy's most notable gem is that I managed to complete it.
July 12, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
The Sky Is Calling In Black Skylands!
Airships have become a accepted form of air travel from convenient flight to sky piracy. However, many times this is just a fun novelty or gimmick to enjoy. If you want your own airship and sky-high sea to explore, jump into Black Skylands.

Looking At The Casing of Encased
Humans are naturally curious and this drives us to explore and discover. So, if a huge dome with its own environment appeared out of nowhere, we'd probably want to investigate it. Take the role of such an investigator who goes into Encased with no chance of coming out.
July 6, 2021 | 08:00 EDT
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Review
The original Doki Doki Literature Club is a phenomenal horror title, but loses a lot of the elements that made it so impressive on its translation to consoles. Play the original instead.
June 30, 2021 | 12:21 EDT
Ender Lilies: Quietus Of The Knights Review
We take a look at Live Wire's Metroidvania Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. It's a combat-heavy platformer where you can tell ghosts to fight for you.
June 18, 2021 | 11:05 EDT
Umurangi Generation Special Edition Review
Umurangi Generation is a poignant game about finding beauty in a dying world, but is best experienced on anything other than the Switch.
June 17, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Alekon Review
Alekon attempts to recreate the magic of Pokemon Snap, but falls short of its inspiration at almost every turn. These worlds are cute and wholesome, but the photography feels more like taking a snapshot in Steam than holding a camera.
June 12, 2021 | 02:00 EDT
Wolfstride: A Turn-Based Demo Of Robot Demolition
You could argue that the spectacle of giant robots fighting is never going to lose its shine. There are plenty of adventure and action giant robot games, but what about a turn-based fighting game? Well, Wolfstride answers that.
June 8, 2021 | 01:00 EDT
Castle Flipper Review
Muddy graphics, repetitive missions and persistent technical failings make Castle Flipper a historical building simulator in dire need of renovation.
June 2, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Mayhem In Single Valley Review
With all the horrible stories that happen in small American towns, you'd wonder why anyone would want to live in one. That's why Jack is leaving, but his plans hit a snag when the apocalypse starts transforming animals and people. Grab your trust backpack and sort this mess out!
May 31, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Rust Console Edition Review
Rust Console Edition manages to capture the same brutally difficult experience from the PC version, but a poor control scheme and outdated mechanics make the overall game frustrating for fans.
May 25, 2021 | 01:00 EDT
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World Review
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is an enjoyable reimagining of an underappreciated 1994 classic that leaves some room for improvement.
