Review : Cattle Country : Yeehawn’t

To pay homage to your favorite piece of media and create something that would eventually equal that level of fame is not uncommon in the gaming landscape.

Review : Section 13 : Hit and Miss

Roguelites can easily be compared to the myth of Sisyphus with a nice little caveat, which is that things slightly change in your favor with each new day that you push the rock up that hypothetical mountain. To that end, Section 13 recreates that idea of slowly but surely inching…

Review : Blades of Fire : Burnt Blades

There is nothing I like more than a developer doing an original game of their own after recently playing in someone else’s sandbox.

Review : Karma Dark World : A Mind-Bending Dystopian Journey

Karma: Dark World caught me completely off guard. Marketed as a cinematic first-person psychological thriller, it turns out to be far more ambitious and emotionally affecting than I could have imagined.

Review : Atomfall : Embrace The Tension

The dangers posed by breakthrough scientific advancement have seldom been heeded. Case in point, the Windscale nuclear accident occurred in 1957.
