Annihilated Review – Breaking Weapons and Saving Broken Heroes
Saving the world with heroes is such an overdone formula, don’t you think? The real challenge is trying to rescue a legendary group of adventurers who have lost their powers, their bodies, and, most likely, their minds. The talented devs at Death Kumiai have neatly packaged this idea into a story-driven roguelite RPG called Annihilated.…

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…

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…

Everlast: Undying Tale Review – Being Undead Is Hard Work
Everlast: Undying Tale is an interesting choice for players who enjoy old-school MMORPG progression. If you’re perfectly okay with spending an afternoon mining ore or improving a crafting skill rather than fighting monsters, then this could be right up your alley. Developer InSpades combines those familiar systems with real-time combat, a colorful fantasy world, and…

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…

Saraab: Beyond The Veil Review – Some Demons Are Closer Than We Think
We love immersing ourselves in visual novels, especially from the comfort of our Steam Deck. When the story is well written and the visual identity is strong, hours pass by like minutes, but the characters stay with us long after we’ve stopped playing. Saraab: Beyond The Veil is a psychological horror visual novel that takes…
