Madness and Myths: Returning to The Shore on PS5
It’s been five years since The Shore first hit PC. We still remember 2021 pretty clearly—mostly because of the massive tentacled things that brought such a thick, heavy atmosphere with them. It was a solid experience, as long as you were okay with some technical rough edges. Now that the Enhanced Edition has landed on…

Gambonanza: A Game for Those who Like and Don’t Like Chess
We admire chess. But we don’t like it. You make one bad move at the start and you just sit there, slowly losing for the next half hour. We have our spouse for that. We also have this old blender at home. Sometimes, just for the heck of it, we throw all kinds of stuff…

Dustwind: Keeping the Post-Apocalypse Fresh
It’s no secret we’re big fans of post-apocalyptic games. As you’ll see in our review right below, Dustwind: Resistance is another title that really stands out with its own unique feel. To understand how this tactical playground came to life, we sat down with Dimitri Zaitsev, the creative director behind most of the Dustwind titles.…

Dustwind Resistance is a Second Chance
We’ve all been looking for that Fallout Tactics feeling again. It’s really hard to nail that specific isometric chaos. We’ve been chasing that dream for decades. It simply never fades. Dustwind: Resistance does a fair job of filling that gap. Not everything has to be a massive AAA blockbuster here. When done correctly, a gritty…

Dracamar Is A Cozy PS2-Era Ghost
Dracamar is a bright and cartoonish platformer that instantly managed to wake up that specific feeling of sitting in front of a heavy tube TV with a tangled controller. It reminded us of those worry-free days of the past and that old-school magic where all we wanted to do was simply chill with a game.…

No Stone Unturned is a Fun Detective Game
When an indie game about an amnesiac squirrel trying to solve a chicken’s murder pops up, you simply can’t pass up the opportunity to check it out. We aren’t master puzzle solvers. In fact, we usually hate puzzles; they just aren’t our thing. It absolutely destroys our will to play a game when we run…

Neverness to Everness: Don’t Fall for the Gacha
Hotta Studio, the same studio that got famous with Tower of Fantasy, has recently released a game that mixes a supernatural Grand Theft Auto style with a gacha system. It’s free-to-play, and if you decide to play it without reaching for your wallet, you will find some surprisingly fun mechanics. However, Neverness to Everness wants…

Sunday Sims Spotlight: Trading Suburbs for Stormtroopers
The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu is easily one of the strangest additions to the franchise and that’s saying a lot since we’ve seen all kinds of strange additions to the main game. As huge fans of the whole franchise, we never expected a Star Wars crossover. And yet, that’s exactly what we got in…

Refreshingly Good Time with Survivor Mercs
We didn’t expect much when we first booted this up; it felt like just another horde survival game promising the world. We were glad to be proved wrong. Survivor Mercs is a straightforward game with fun mechanics tied to the primal desire to blast robots into scrap metal. If you love staring at a screen…

KIBORG: A Tough but Fun Sci-Fi Brawler
You know how there are those games with massive worlds, sprawling stories, and deep moral choices? They are fun, but the sheer scope of them can also be very tiring. Sometimes, we just want to jump into something straightforward. KIBORG is exactly that. You wake up in a sci-fi prison and your only real goal…
