Crushed in Time: Fixing a Game From the Inside
We really liked There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension. Back in 2020, this cute little title—which to this day sits with overwhelmingly positive reviews—was one of the most unique and funniest adventure games around. Understandably, we were beyond curious to see what Draw Me A Pixel would do next. Thanks to the wonderful people at…

Schrödinger’s Call Turned 21 Nanoseconds into a Masterpiece
End-of-the-world scenarios lean heavily into cinematic destruction. Kyoto-based indie trio Acrobatic Chirimenjako took the exact opposite approach with their debut, Schrödinger’s Call. When we reviewed the game—awarding it a perfect score—we noted how it shattered our expectations by confining the apocalypse to a microscopic sliver of time: the absolute final moments before the moon crashes…

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,…

Interview: Dying Light 2’s Massive Bet on Creators
Written by: Martin Jovanchevski Video game longevity is rarely an accident. As Dying Light 2: Stay Human approaches its twilight years of official developer support, Techland isn’t just winding down—they are handing the keys over to the players. With the rollout of “The Breach,” a massive update centered entirely around User-Generated Content (UGC), and Patch…

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…
