Frog Legs (Steam) – Review

I have a confession. I’ve never played the classic game Frogger until now…or at least in some form. Frog Legs, by Elliott Dahle, is like a twisted fever dream of Frogger, leaping through the 2D world into the third dimension. It was up to my froggy hero to go where

The Drifter (Steam) – Preview

The Drifter is a gritty, narrative-driven point-and-click adventure that plunges you into a suspenseful tale of murder, mystery and memory loss.

The Siege And The Sandfox (Steam) – Review

The Siege and the Sandfox is a beautifully crafted “stealthvania” that blends classic Metroidvania explorations with smooth, stealth mechanics reminiscent of old-school platformers. The game was developed by North Yorkshire-based developers Cardboard Sword and publisher PLAION. This title offers a fresh take on a 2D stealth action set in a

BOTSU: Ridiculous Robots (Steam) – Preview

Developed by Perculiar Pixels and published by Perculiar Pixels, a one-man indie development studio, BOTSU: Ridiculous Robots immediately shows you that you’re in for a fun ride. This offbeat brawler blends slapstick chaos and mechanical mayhem. BOTSU: Ridiculous Robots has an original play on robotic combat, where it comes to

Shroom and Gloom (Steam) – Preview

Team Lazerbeam has surprised me with Shroom and Gloom. This weird little card-based dungeon crawler ended up being way more engaging than I expected. I thought I was jumping into a quirky deck-builder with some mushrooms and spooky vibes, but it was a super thoughtful, well-crafted experience with a ton

Mycopunk (Steam) – DEMO Preview

Thanks to Devolver Digital and Pigeons at Play, MKAU was lucky to get an early sneak peek at their latest announcement, Mycopunk. A first-person co-op shooter that has launched onto Steam Early Access. If you were a fan of Deep Rock Galactic, you would have a blast on Mycopunk, as

OUTLAWED (Steam) – Review

Released on March 13th, 2025, Outlawed is a PvE or PvPvE First-Person Shooter from Okami Studio. In my research, I couldn’t find much information on Okami Studio, which, in my past experiences reviewing and learning more about the teams behind the games, is a mystery to me. Outlawed can be

Have you ever wanted to sit in a dark room and dive into a top-down story-driven fairytale with a full spectrum of dark humour? With Moroi, it’s sure to tick the boxes of many adventure horror and fairytale fans, bringing gore and enjoyment to the max. Developed by Violet Saint

TRON: Catalyst (Steam) – Preview

In the 80s, Disney’s TRON captured the vision of being dragged into a sci-fi world in a game-like world. While it probably looked cool then, it’s not as high-tech as it could’ve been. Since the original film, there have been additional films with TRON: Legacy (2010) and another movie this

Stygian: Outer Gods (Steam) – Review

Strygain Outer Gods is a survival horror developed by Misterial Gaming and published by Fulqrum Publishing, which gives a Lovecraftian vibe to the style of a Resident Evil game. This helps push those horror themes from just scary, monstrous creatures and elevates them with psychological horror. Set within the shadowed

Willow Guard (Steam) – Review

‘Willow Guard’ might wear its influences boldly on its gilded sleeves, but it is a quirky romp into monster hunting. Developed by MiTale, this single-player game with dungeon crawling and RPG elements is a surprising mishmash of genres, but in a charismatic and amusing way. You play as an anamorphic

Tiny Garden (Steam) – Review

‘Tiny Garden’ by Ao Norte is a game with an interesting concept, and that, my friends, alone is commendable because thinking outside the box is rare. There is a loose narrative attached to this game through letters you unlock as you progress. It is quite a touching little story of

Sports: Renovations (Steam) – Review

Restore old sports facilities and give them a new lease on life in Sports: Renovations, a relaxing, story-driven simulator. Goat Gamez and Dear Villagers have left no stone unturned in providing a relaxing yet challenging experience for our grubby hands, with smooth gameplay, crisp graphics, and a good-vibes soundtrack. Once

Forestrike (Steam) – Preview

Developer Skeleton Crew Studio and Thomas Olsson have teamed up with my favourite publisher, Devolver Digital, to bring us a demo of ‘Forestrike’. When conducting research, I became excited about its concept. You play as Yu, a Forestriker, but what is a Forestriker? A Forestriker is a gifted martial artist

Only Way is Down (Steam) – Review

Surprisingly, I’m not new to playing as a cat in a platformer, albeit my previous experience was more dystopian sci-fi. Only Way is Down by Jilted Generation Productions takes it to a more realistic place, with a small side of silliness that often falls flat. Starting firmly on the ground

Your House (Steam) – Review

Recently, Steam concluded its latest Steam Next Fest, and throughout, I got to experience numerous great indie game demos, including a couple of extraordinary point-and-click and visual novel adventures. But now that it’s over, I was left with an itch. That was fixed when I stumbled upon ‘Your House’, a

Look Outside (Steam) – Review

‘Look Outside’ is a bizarre and quirky game, so it was no wonder it got picked up by the connoisseurs of the weird and wonderful publishers  Devolver Digital. Developed by Francis Coulombe, this survival RPG with turn-based combat is not what I expected, but it was my kind of eccentric
