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…

Far Far West Offers Chaotic Co-Op Fun
Is it just us, or do a lot of extraction shooters feel like second jobs designed to push a battle pass? The grind seems insufferable. And what’s with all the difficulty spikes? Why does every game feel like it’s set in some Dark Souls parallel universe? If you’re also sick and tired of that model…

Aphelion: Good Adventure from a Great Studio
DON’T NOD had us from the very start. We absolutely loved the first Life is Strange, while Vampyr was incredibly unique for its time, and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden was one of the best games we’ve played. To us, they simply can’t go wrong. We were extremely excited about Aphelion; we couldn’t wait to…

’83 Hides Potential for Fun Cold War Shootout
We’ve never been big fans of tactical shooters and that’s not because they aren’t good, far from it. We’re just terrible at them. Spending twenty minutes crawling through a ditch only to be dropped by a sniper you never saw is a specialized kind of ego bruising. ’83 seems to step back from that hyper…
