Interview about The Lich Wars: Thirty Years of War and the Memories That Won’t Go Away
Old friends can disagree about the smallest things. In The Lich Wars, Aleks and his three lifelong companions have rather more serious memories to argue over.

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest Review (PS5) – A Furry Adventure with a Few Scratches
We’ve never been a pet to a cat, but we’ve visited quite a few homes and seen just how devoted our friends are to serving their furry overlords. That doesn’t mean we don’t find cats adorable, especially when they start purring and look at us as if they aren’t planning to scratch our eyes out,…

Legion Breaker Review – A Wizard’s Guide to Skeleton Disposal
Legion Breaker is a lovely little incremental game that knows how to make us feel ridiculously powerful. Join us after the trailer as we tell you how we start as a rather unimpressive wizard, face an army of undead creatures, and slowly but surely turn ourselves into a magical killing machine. It’s a simple but…

Sooner or later, humanity will collapse. No one’s questioning that. But who will inherit the Earth? Now that is the real question! The devs behind Keep Her Safe, the ever-so-talented Gugu Studio, have an idea, and it’s a doozy.

Odd Town Review – Plenty of Trouble
We strongly believe that some towns are best avoided, and St. Sectaire might be one of them. Odd Town, developed by The Flying Baguette, takes us on a peculiar adventure full of suspicious residents and strange activities. It’s an unusual little game, and despite some rough mechanics, we’ve enjoyed our time exploring its streets. Welcome…
