Schrödinger’s Call is a 21-Nanosecond Heartbreak
Whenever the apocalypse is presented in a game, it is usually a loud explosion or a series of loud explosions. Dramatic effect and all that, we totally get it. But, do you know what’s louder than that? A ringing phone you don’t want to answer. Review written by: Martin Jovanchevski When the wonderful people at…

Sunday Sims Spotlight #8: Chaotic Wedding Vows
Ah, weddings—who doesn’t love them? Speaking of which, remember the good old days when we used to just throw a wedding arch in the backyard, click a button, and get it over with? That was all the excitement we needed in The Sims. But as things grow and evolve, simple is no longer enough. My…

Gothic 1 Remake: Modern Tech Meets a Brutal Classic
Written by: Martin Jovanchevski We played the original game a lot back in the early 2000s. It’s pretty much what we all did back then on our first PC. Gothic was the first RPG we tried. We didn’t know if it was hard or not; we just thought that’s how things were supposed to be,…

SpaceCraft is a Complex Factory in Space with Huge Potential
SpaceCraft is a game that promises to have it all. It will grace you with “seamless space exploration,” a “player-driven economy,” and “automated factories.” It graced us with a headache too, since trying to learn and juggle so many mechanics at the same time truly feels like a second job. We already have three jobs,…

Getting Lost (and Eaten) in the Peruvian Brush
The first hunting game we played was Hunting Unlimited 2010. We remember coming back from school that winter, putting our cheap headphones on, and simply losing ourselves in the beautiful world. We remember walking a lot in the game, and yet we didn’t mind. Sooner or later, we knew we would come across an animal.…

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and The Infinite Museion
Spoiled by the detailed world and complex mechanics of Baldur’s Gate 3, we spent a long time searching for a solid replacement. As huge fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, we kept a close eye on the announcement and release of Owlcat Games‘ latest title. For a while, Rogue Trader slipped through our fingers, and…

D.O.T. Defence is EA no More:10-Minute Panic Attack
We love strategy games primarily because of that relaxing—at least for us—slow burn. There’s the quiet early game, the base building, and then the long wait before the armies actually meet. Rattleaxe Games, for some reason, decided to take that from us. In D.O.T. Defence, they are perfectly okay with dropping us right into the…

Review Through Screenshots: Fatekeeper!
Welcome to our Screenshot Review of Fatekeeper! Some games are just too heavy, bloody, and beautiful and, try as we might, we simply can’t capture it all with words alone. Fatekeeper is exactly that kind of experience. Instead of dropping a massive wall of text about the brutal combat and the grim, gorgeous world, we…

Witchspire EA: Pointy Hats and Falling Meteors
We play a lot of survival games. Sadly, we don’t enjoy most of them. If we play solo, then it’s painfully slow. If we’re in a group, then we can never agree on who does what. The start is usually very slow, and we can’t help but roll our eyes at all the trees we…

Sunday Sims Spotlight #7: Stressful Daycare
We used to just ignore kids. In The Sims 4 as well. That gameplay loop was never our thing, especially the whole process of feeding them, sending them to school, and waiting for them to age up. The Parenthood pack is a piece of content that gave us a reason to actually pay attention. It…
