A spread-shot cover of The Knight Witch, showcasing main character Rayne posing on the left side, and the game name on the right side.

The Knight Witch Review

A game seemingly fighting its own presentation and message, The Knight Witch instead alienates the player with smug self-awareness, milquetoast cynicism, and some truly awful genre meshing.

Gungrave G.O.R.E Review

Gungrave G.O.R.E promises to shake you to your Gungrave core, but mostly ends up as a Gungrave chore. Before long I was Gungrave bored of the Gungrave lore and my trigger finger was Gungrave sore. Here's hoping they can fix things up if we see a Gungrave four.

I See Red is a twin-stick roguelike that doesn't let you aim with the right stick and fails at being a roguelike. At least it looks cool.
