Abiotic Factor: Survival with a Purpose
While I talked briefly about Abiotic Factor before, recommending it in my post talking about the many good games that came out this summer, I have since fully beaten the game and honestly really want to write about it! This is one of the very few survival crafting games that managed to grab and hold…

A Surprisingly Stacked Summer
In the past I’ve written about how summer is a great time to catch up on the ever growing backlog everyone who plays games has. Most of the time, summer rarely has many, if any, heavy hitting games released. This is mainly because winter and fall are holiday seasons so everyone is looking to spend…

You should really play Labyrinth of the Demon King
Have you ever played a game, a recently released game, that you really enjoy but are already worried isn’t going to get the recognition it deserves? That’s how I’m currently feeling with the indie horror game Labyrinth of the Demon King! Released a little over a week ago, Labyrinth of the Demon King is a…

Darkest Dungeon II: Brutal but Approachable
“New Year, new games” is what I would be saying if there wasn’t a few games from last year I missed out on! Despite 2024 being somewhat of a light year in terms of game releases, I still missed out on a few games I was pretty interested in checking out. And one of those…

The Simply Charming Fun of Crow Country
I’ve said this in the past but sometimes games do not need to be innovative to be good. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time you make a car. Sometimes just sticking to what works and doing a really good job at that is more than enough to catch someone’s eye and that’s…

2023 gave us a ton of amazing horror games to play! Games like Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Killer Frequency, and Alan Wake 2. However, I’d argue that 2023’s most horrifying game went overlooked by many when it first released in October, myself included! Which is a massive shame since in terms of pure horror,…

SIGNALIS: Surpassing your Inspirations
It’s kind of crazy to think about how many once great and massive franchises are now dead in the water, seemingly forgotten by those that hold the rights to them. Series like Mega Man, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, Punch-Out, Dino Crisis, Darkstalkers, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie, and like everything made by Konami. Lots and lots…

Mundaun: A true Hidden Gem
Now, I did not plan this. When I reviewed Layers of Fear and talked about how terrible of a game it was, I did not plan to review another indie horror game right after it. This is just a happy accident. A very happy accident because Mundaun is an amazing game and the perfect thing…

Cult of the Lamb – Running a cult shouldn’t be this cute!
I seem to be on a roguelite kick recently! First with Prey: Mooncrash and now with Cult of the Lamb. Both are vastly different roguelite experiences though, but they are similar in a sense give that they both change things up from the usual roguelite formula. Meaning that for someone who is into roguelites but…
