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…

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.

Origament: A Paper Adventure Folds, But Mostly Flies
Throughout the years, we’ve all played the “wholesome, emotional indie game where you play as an inanimate object.” It’s a whole genre now. Origament: A Paper Adventure is all about a magically awakened letter trying to find its recipient. On the plus side, you’re accompanied by a white cat companion. Cute. But past the saccharine…

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…

The Brutallity of the Muddy Masterpiece called Tombwater
It’s fair to say the market is currently oversaturated with Souls-likes. We’re seeing a flood of titles vying for a piece of the Elden Ring pie, but unfortunately, many fall short, resulting in experiences that feel generic and uninspired. But Tombwater clawed its way out of the pile. It’s mean. It’s dirty. It’s going to…

ChainStaff is a Metal Album Soaked in Alien Guts
You’ve got an alien parasite bolted to your skull. It wants you to eat human organs. Yup. ChainStaff doesn’t care if you’re comfortable. It gladly gives you a Swiss Army knife made of alien bone, but then it fully expects you to survive a 1980s heavy metal album cover come to life. It is loud.…

The Cozy and Lovable Chaos of Nippets
Most modern games feel like a second job. You log in. You check your dailies. You grind a battle pass you bought in a moment of weakness, and you log out feeling emptier than when you started. Then a game like Nippets drops on your desk. It doesn’t want 100 hours of your life. It…
