Trepang2 – Review

I think the first thing that needs to be mentioned when talking about Trepang2 is that the name of this game is pretty random. After a quick search, you can find that trepang is a term that refers to sea cucumbers, often used in Asian cuisine. Dive a little deeper

Wizard With A Gun (DEMO) – Preview

What’s better than a game with wizards? A game with wizards using guns, and this is exactly what the aptly named Wizard with a Gun delivers. Devolver Digital shoots another zany game our way alongside developer Galvanic Games sometime later this year, but we don’t need to wait for a

Brain Show (Steam) – Review

I love trivia. I often sit up late, scrolling the internet reading about the most bizarre ins and outs of this world. So, when a trivia game is presented at any gathering, I love testing my skill with the useless pieces of information that scarily inhabit the deepest recesses of

Bat Boy (Steam) – Review

There will always be a place in my heart for action-packed platformers and they get better and better as time goes on. Sonzai Games and X PLUS Co., Ltd. have teamed up to make this beautifully created 2D side-scroller, which if you play retro games, you will be as invested

Stunlock Studios have created an addictive experience in their new title, V Rising.

Rough Justice: ’84 – Review

It’s 1984 and I feel like I’m in the middle of Miami Vice with corrupt police and crime running rampant in Seneca City. Every move you make could be your last as you try and build a Private Secret Agency with Hank. Detective Jim Baylor was falsely imprisoned, but once

Death Or Treat – Review

It’s no secret that gamers love a good rogue-lite hack and slash, especially if it hits hard in the spooky vibes. Death or Treat, served up by small Indie developers, Saona Studios, sets up shop in the ghostly HallowTown and sends an unlikely hero on a quest to save local

Soul Survivors – Review

‘Soul Survivors’ by Stingbot Games, while looking like a clone of popular roguelite ‘Vampire Survivors’ is actually uniquely designed and just as addictive.

Showgunners – Review

A gruesome game show set in a dystopian cyberpunk world? Count me in! Diving into this game was pretty exciting. I don’t usually take on turn-based games like this, but it definitely caught my attention.
