Mind Diver Review: Getting Lost Inside Someone Else’s Memories
In Mind Diver you aren’t investigating a crime scene in the traditional sense but are diving into someone’s memories.

Swordcery Review: When Every Sword Has a Trick
Swordcery is a game with swords everywhere and enemies coming at us from all directions. There are also plenty of magical attacks to throw around, which is a great incentive to find not necessarily better, but different swords, learn what they can do, and use them to survive increasingly difficult encounters.

Ledgerbound Review – Deny the Claim, Save the World, Fall in Love

Ground Zero Hero Review – Mutation Survivors
Ground Zero Hero won us over almost immediately. Before we even started our first run, the cheerful menu, exaggerated animations and wonderfully goofy soundtrack set the tone for everything that followed. We hope you like being dropped into a radioactive wasteland where survival means eliminating everything that moves while constantly searching for supplies. Combat is…

Pax Autocratica Review: Survival Has a Price

It’s the kind of game that combines colony management with first-person shooting, topping it off with roguelite progression.
