Minecraft Dungeons II Review — More of What We Loved
The first Minecraft Dungeons gave us a different way to experience the Minecraft universe and, most importantly, proved that taking the basic idea of Diablo could work remarkably well in the recognizable blocky world. We enjoyed our time wandering through Minecraft-inspired environments, fighting illagers and all sorts of other creatures and collecting weapons we didn’t…

Blades & Battles Review: Swords, Skeletons and Old-School Fun
If you’ve played those arcade beat ’em ups from the eighties and nineties, like Golden Axe, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or The Punisher, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into with Blades & Battles. QUByte Interactive‘s newly releaced title takes that same basic formula and drops it into a medieval fantasy setting. Join us after the…

Keeping the Pixels Alive: Marcel Bernardi on Building a Modern 3D Beat ’Em Up
If you’re delving into game creation, then you’lle most likely agree that there’s a big difference between making a game that looks old and making one that actually feels like it came from the arcade era. When you add 3D models, modern widescreen displays and faster movement into the mix, keeping that old-school character becomes…

CONTROL Resonant Mega Review — A Love Letter to Remedy’s Beautifully Broken Reality
We’ve been fans of Remedy Entertainment ever since their first games. Max Payne and Max Payne 2 hold a special place in our hearts and, to this day, we still find time to come back and play the second one. The Alan Wake games, especially the first one, were equally amazing, particularly because we were…

BLACKSHARD Review – Getting Lost in a Senseless World
From the first few steps into Blackshard’s Labyrinth, we found ourselves staring at things that seemed impossible to explain. Enormous structures rise from empty spaces, walls lead nowhere, and strange combinations of geometric shapes create places that feel more like someone’s impossible dream than somewhere people were ever meant to live. BLACKSHARD is a beautiful…

Graveyard Keeper 2: Managing the Management of the Undead
Graveyard Keeper came at a time when we were absolutely fed up with farming games and their same old, rather worn-out gameplay mechanics. It caught us completely by surprise. We didn’t expect to be dealing with corpses, digging graves, removing organs and finding increasingly questionable ways to make money from the dead. Did we find…

BuGarden Review – A Little Garden That Keeps You Company
BuGarden is one of the coolest desktop companion apps we’ve come across this year. It’s simple, it sits in the corner of our screen and does its thing while we do ours, like writing this review, for example. We’d write a few lines while the flowers we’d planted continued to grow, then glance over as…

Sunday Sims Spotlight #17: A little help around the house
Vintage Glamour Stuff is a DLC that comes with a collection of nice-looking furniture and clothes that are all about old-fashioned luxury, with formal clothing, glamorous furniture, a vanity table, a globe bar and other items that belong to a very specific theme. But it shouldn’t be dismissed easily as it also comes with something…

Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth PS5 Review – A Winter Adventure Full of Heart
Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is a game that is like a fairytale, and the opening reminded us of children’s books that we used to stare at in awe as kids. Everything is wonderfully drawn and subtly animated, which, in combination with the atmospheric soundtrack, really pulls us into the world. We started playing the game with…
