Skull Horde: A Great Bone Pile of Fun
There are way too many auto-battlers right now. It’s a giant pile of cheap games meant to steal your free time. But sometimes, a good game climbs out of the trash. One such game is Skull Horde. Playing as a floating skull, your job is to build an army. And then to kill endless waves…

Puzzling Places is 3D Glue for Broken Brains
We’ve never liked jigsaw puzzles. They hog the table, you always lose an edge piece, and the sheer mental effort of matching cardboard shapes feels like a chore. We admire the people who have the patience for it, though. So, when we loaded up Puzzling Places—a game strictly about assembling 3D scans of European architecture—we…

Darts VR 2 is a Solid Game Night at Home
VR darts might not sound like the most thrilling concept on paper. It is, after all, just standing in a room of some sort, throwing invisible objects. But Darts VR 2: Bullseye manages to take that simple idea and make it surprisingly addictive. You put the headset on expecting to play a round or two,…

Conan Turns Jotunnslayer Into a Bloody Meat Grinder
Let’s place Norse mythology on a hold for a second. We’re in the desert now, and we brought a barbarian. Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel was already doing a solid job cracking skulls in the crowded auto-shooter arena. To us, it was, and still is, one of the best Vampire Survivor inspired games. It had the…

One Gun, Zero Hope: Bleeding Out in ‘The Void’
Inspired by Stephen King’s The Mist and heavy spiritual theology, The Void is upcoming FPS is pure hostility. You get one gun. That’s it. No weapon wheel to swap through. No magical armory.

Skautfold: Moonless Knight is out on PS5
Most modern Metroidvanias make things way too easy for us. They highlight the path, give us infinite dodges, and gently pat us on the back. Skautfold: Moonless Knight is not that kind of game. It is a game that gladly kicks our teeth in, stitch our arm to an eldritch abomination, and laugh while we…

PowerWash Simulator 2 – Adventure Time Pack is out
PowerWash Simulator 2 is already a fantastic game. But now, the good people at FuturLab have slapped a Cartoon Network license on it, letting us blast the grime right off Princess Bubblegum’s floor. On paper, it shouldn’t work. Honestly, it’s a little embarrassing. And yet, we simply cannot stop playing it. Cleaning on a different…

The Occultist is a Gorgeous, High-Stakes Ghost Hunt
The Occultist is a game that manages to drag that tired “paranormal investigator looking for his missing dad” premise onto a creepy British island and make it work. You play as Alan Rebels. He’s not a terrified teenager armed with a dying camcorder. He’s a pro. And that subtle shift in perspective actually makes a…

Find Your Words: A Quiet Revolution in a 3-Ring Binder
Most games talk way too much, but say very little. So, sooner or later, your hand is forced to skip the cutscenes, ignore the dialogue trees, and just follow the glowing waypoint marker to the next objective. Find Your Words fixes that problem by just taking your voice away entirely. Speak Not, but Do Explore…
