A powerful narrative journey that utilizes a time loop mechanic for commentary on the cycles we find ourselves in, and utilizes its gameplay to play perfectly alongside the story beats.

With Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly now mere weeks away, we return to the shop to see if the flavor's still the same, or if the coffee has burned...

The Last Clockwinder is a simple puzzle game that uses the power of VR brilliantly. This is a no-brainer for anyone that owns VR.

In our Bleak Faith: Forsaken review, we look at yet another 3D indie Soulslike that proves the mission to replicate From Software's formula is misguided.

A quick burst of platforming goodness, unafraid to be set back by its lack of variety in challenges, and instead focusing on consistently uplifting level design, with a fantastic soundtrack to boot.

Perish is a 4-player co-op FPS title that blends aspects of Greek and Roman cultures into a blend of L4D and Dark Souls (not in a cringe way).
February 13, 2023 | 01:15 EST
Straylight is an action-packed VR title that sees you swinging through the dark cosmos like space Spider-Man accompanied by a Sinister Voice.

A incredibly insipid journey of bad design, put through the minds of youth that fails to answer any of the questions asked, instead being the kind of point-n-click title that saw the genre die in the minds of the majority.
January 12, 2023 | 03:00 EST
A hearty journey that remains tonally consistent despite its joyous mechanics, with its pointless combat and customization not being enough to drag the experience down.

Chained Echoes merges old and new gameplay design to create something fresh.
December 7, 2022 | 12:05 EST
A game seemingly fighting its own presentation and message, The Knight Witch instead alienates the player with smug self-awareness, milquetoast cynicism, and some truly awful genre meshing.

Beginning as a visual spectacle, Lunistice can frequently fall into 3D platforming tedium as it fails to recognize its own potential or characters.

Serial Cleaners’ chance to grow brighter and bolder with neo-noir narratives, instead sees itself bogged down in run-of-the-mill nihilism that even affects the gameplay.
September 21, 2022 | 03:00 EDT
Whateverland's fun premise and protagonist duo are overshadowed by bugs, poorly designed puzzles and shallow characters in a move that makes us say "whatever."

After a promising start, PowerWash Simulator begins to expand in a way you cannot tackle feasibly, but only in scale. It’s one mechanic polished well enough to get by for a short while.
August 20, 2022 | 11:00 EDT
In our Thymesia review, we take a look at a Soulslike that takes more influence from the gothic horror of Bloodborne than from the swords-and-sorcery genre.
August 16, 2022 | 08:00 EDT
Dead by Daylight is a serious game about killers and survivors. Hooked on You flips it on its head by presenting the killers as love interests in their own dating sim!

An element of Lovecraft stories is the line between reality and the mindscape. This comes through in Dream Cycle, where you play as a magic student looking for her friend across dream worlds.

While starting strong, The Tale of Bistun loses interest over time, leaving the story, gameplay, and characters to try and make something out of stretched-thin mechanics.

Frogun is a heartfelt addition to the wider Platformer genre, bringing some fun new ideas and charm to the table. It's far from a perfect game though, and its flaws hold it back from being an amazing experience.
August 2, 2022 | 09:00 EDT
TechRaptor's The Mortuary Assistant review finds that the game is an immersive mix of demons, trauma, and death that makes for a scary good time.

July 26, 2022 | 09:00 EDT
It's not fun to denigrate indie titles with unique ambitions in mind. After all, brazen ideas have a tendency to stick with us much longer than most standard fare. Although some credit is due for freshmen developer Capricia Productions, Of Bird and Cage ranks among this year's worst games.

Endling: Extinction Is Forever sees the last fox mother on earth try to keep her cubs alive in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Threats lie around every corner, but also glimmers of hope for the future.

A couple of console generations have passed since the last time Kao The Kangaroo hopped into the scene. While that fact may give some nostalgic vibes for fans of this less-popular platformer mascot, it'll likely wear off after extensive time with its by-the-numbers design. For such a spry, young marsupial, it's rather ironic just how quickly Kao's tired tricks lose their luster.
July 5, 2022 | 10:00 EDT
Spiral Circus' first title does enough to stand out from its immediate inspirations. Silt's art style stands out as one of 2022's best thus far and its possession gameplay concept is quite interesting, but it doesn't fully deliver on its promises. Whether considering its narrative or game design, it's wishing for something grander and more purposeful.
June 23, 2022 | 11:00 EDT
Dwerve satisfies with a refined, fast-paced tower defense system that is both accessible and challenging.
June 1, 2022 | 11:00 EDT
Although its retro presentational qualities place it above standard horror fare, Paratopic's lacking design & narrative diminishes its grander mysteries.
