Valor of Man: Box of Math and Murder
Little by little, the roguelite tactical RPG has become a widespread genre—which is great, since we are particularly fond of it. Valor of Man is a lovely, unique game that offers tight combat and stressful action-point math. More on this and a lot more right after the trailer! Math. Murder. The Board In Valor of…

Company of Heroes 3: Dare & Destroy: Sandbox of Heavy Armor
Relic Entertainment built the modern RTS, and we personally grew up on the original Company of Heroes. Because of that history, we can safely say that Company of Heroes 3 has had a incredibly messy life. Relic has spent the last few years trying to patch the cracks and win back the hardcore strategy crowd,…

Vultures – Scavengers of Death: Tense Zombie Chess
Isn’t it funny how classic playstation horror usually means tank controls and fixed camera angles? Or is that just us? Vultures – Scavengers of Death laughs in the face of that frustrating design choice. It takes the creepy, nostalgic vibe of old-school Resident Evil and turns every single zombie encounter into a slow, stressful grid…

Inside the Dark World of Lover’s Enigma
Lover’s Enigma is a project from the folks at FallenCranberry Studio. It’s a title that throws you headfirst into the terrifying reality of a hidden cult, tangles you up in romance with four male leads, and doesn’t shy away from heavy themes like trauma and grief. We recently sat down with the development team to…

Forza Horizon 6: Beautiful Traffic Jam
We spent years tearing through the muddy fields of the UK in Forza Horizon 4. We aren’t usually big fans of racing games, but FH4 was everything to us for a very long time. We loved the soundtrack, the arcade controls, how the seasons changed, and how the cars behaved. Then we moved to Mexico…

SUMMERHOUSE: Digital, Much Appreciated Coffee Break
We love shooters and RPGs. Especially open-world games with complex mechanics. We’re sure you’re just like us, spending many hours losing yourself in worlds like Red Dead, The Witcher, or Starfield. But sometimes, that kind of noise becomes unbearable, and just the thought of massive open worlds with hundred-hour campaigns starts suffocating us. What we’re…

Azur Lane Crosswave is More Reading Than Shooting
Azur Lane: Crosswave gives off the vibe of a fairly deep tactical naval shooter. You could be forgiven for thinking that, but it is actually a straight-up visual novel. Specifically, it is a visual novel about anime girls fighting across an alternate-history WWII ocean. We have to admit, that is totally wild. However, the whole…

Deadhaus Sonata: Skeleton Missing its Meat?
Denis Dyack is a incredibly talented developer who directed some of our absolute favorite titles. To this day, the Legacy of Kain series remains high on that list. His new studio just launched Deadhaus Sonata, where we actually get to play as the monsters. For the past couple of days, we’ve spent our afternoons messing…

Sunday Sims Spotlight #3: Flimsy Plastic Mask
Wanting to capitalize on Halloween back in 2015, EA dropped The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff. We remember going over all the new items and really wanting them for that magical time of the year. Eleven years later, we finally got the opportunity to check them out. Spooky Stuff, however, isn’t a massive expansion that changes…

Dread Neighbor: Haunted House of Cards
Bad apartments are inherently stressful. We know this because we have been living in one for a while now. The thin walls make insanely weird noises, especially in the middle of the night. Sometimes it is all just too much. Dread Neighbor tries to capture that specific feeling of living in a cheap, creepy building.…
