Sunday Sims Spotlight #5: The Power of the Om
To a certain target audience, the Sims series has always been all about torturing our Sims. Some gamers really like setting fires, removing pool ladders, and creating similar inconveniences just so they can see how the Sims will react.

A Humble Look at LumenTale: Memories of Trey
We don’t know about you, but we’ve never been big fans of the monster-catcher genre. Regardless, we just couldn’t ignore Beehive Studios’ latest project.

Necrophosis Turned Beksiński’s Art into a Vulnerable Journey
Here’s a shotgun, go shoot some monsters before they get you. That’s what most horror games do. Necrophosis is not most games.

Jump scares? Who needs…

Ghost Ship Games put Rogue Core into Early Access several days ago, which begs the question: guess what we’ve been doing these past few days? Even before the game came out, as big fans of Deep Rock Galactic and huge fans of the DRG: Survivor spin-off, we had been wondering how they would turn a…

Bullet heaven games are everywhere nowadays. A lot of indie studios really want to make that next Vampire Survivors.

More than five years have passed since January 2021, yet it remains one of the most detailed stuff packs in the game’s history. It…
