Under Canopies Early Access Review – A Survival Game Where Nobody Wants to Kill Us
Developed by Novemtails, this lovely little adventure is all about settling down in a colourful forest, building a comfortable home and enjoying everything nature has to offer. There are no enemies to fight here, no animals to hunt and, believe it or not, we can’t even die. Well, that’s one way to take the stress…

Nobody Wanted to Be the Zombie: Galin on Making Disbond Fun for Everyone
Galin remembers a particular problem with the old zombie mods in Counter-Strike: Source: nobody wanted to be the zombie. Shooting the infected was great fun, but being the target of all those bullets was another story. With Disbond, the multiplayer shooter he’s developing under Bozz Studio, he wanted the infected players to have just as…

Hubert Review – Being a Good Dog Is Hard Work
Taking care of sheep sounds like a reasonably easy job, especially when you have four legs and a powerful bark. It makes perfect sense to us but, unfortunately, nobody seems to have explained this to the sheep. Hubert, developed by Brocap Studio, is a game that cutely puts us in the paws of an enthusiastic,…

Shardwatch Dominion Review – Surrounded and Outnumbered on PS5
Shardwatch Dominion is a tower defence game where monsters attack from every direction as we try to protect a fortress with a limited number of towers and resources.

The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park Review – Manhattan Has Gone Feral
The first Division completely took us by surprise, and we played the hell out of that game. Waiting for the second game to come out was a different kind of hell, as we watched and rewatched trailers, counting the days until we could finally jump in. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re huge fans of…

Gennady Review – One Angry Man Against an Alien Nightmare
If you enjoy old-school platformers with a good dose of difficulty and questionable humor, then Gennady should not be overlooked. Developed by Feed 64, it’s a fast-paced action platformer about a middle-aged man who finds himself trapped inside an alien meat-processing factory, wearing nothing but his underwear. Poor fellow. As if being abducted wasn’t bad…

No Death Goes to Waste: Team Trifold on Nothing Lost, Fallen Heroes, and Breaking Roguelike Rules
Nothing Lost, the debut action-roguelike from Team Trifold is based on the idea that the heroes who die in the Tower of Souls leave behind powers that their successors can use. A bad run, therefore, might still be useful to someone. Team Trifold is a small studio in Christchurch, New Zealand, established with support from…

Hokko Spaces Review – A Little World of Our Own
Hokko Spaces is a game where we build a place that looks nice and then watch a few animals enjoy being there. That might be Hokko Spaces in a nutshell, but there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s a safe and relaxing haven that lets us spend time rearranging our town to our…

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered Review – Skyscrapers Make Excellent Weapons
Could you kindly name us a fighting game where picking up an entire building and throwing it at your opponent is a thing? Go ahead, we’ll wait. Nothing comes to mind, right? Well, aside from Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, of course. This remaster brings back the 2002 arena fighter from Pipeworks Studios and…

Cute & Dead Review – Love in the Time of Zombies
We’ve heard of people going to great lengths to impress someone they like. We mean, we saw something similar not long ago in Stupid Never Dies, but fighting through a zombie apocalypse just to get a date is taking things a little too far. Or being a tad desperate. Or both. We’re not judging, though,…
