Röki review: A beautiful tale touched by magic
Röki is a charming adventure game with lovely visuals and challenging puzzles. The fairy tale facade hides a touching story that proves folklore still has its place in our modern world.
It's not every day that you come across a modern fairy tale - a story that leans on familiar, universal themes but tells them in a new, lasting way....
Superhot: Mind Control Delete review: More super, more hot
Superhot: Mind Control Delete is simply more Superhot. More action, more weapons, more roguelike, and more meta weirdness about addiction. More and more until you can't take it anymore, but you still keep going.
Superhot: Mind Control Delete started as DLC for Superhot, but grew into a separate, more substantial experience. It takes the same gameplay that made the original...
Deadly Premonition 2 review: York and Zach’s Bogus Journey
Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise retains the charm of the original, but suffers from a considerable downgrade in the overall quality.
The original Deadly Premonition was a cult hit, a weird game that took a lot of inspiration from two other cult classics, namely, Twin Peaks and Silent Hill. Despite its gameplay and graphics' relatively low quality, it...
Catherine: Full Body review: Lust at first sight
Catherine Full Body starts a mature conversation on topics such as relationships, infidelity, and commitment. The result is a fascinating and cinematic narrative-driven game with addictive puzzles.
Behind its shamelessly racy facade, Catherine: Full Body is an unnerving narrative-driven game that brings up some interesting subjects. Its creators describe it as a game about "the terrors of commitment".
Full Body mixes...
Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York review: a rich, bloody VN
Coteries of New York is a highly interactive visual novel with a classic Vampire: The Masquerade story of power struggles and betrayal. You'll face many critical choices, and more importantly - their consequences.
I admit I'm not all that into visual novels, but I am a Vampire: The Masquerade fan. So I grabbed a copy of Vampire: The Masquerade -...
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated review: It’s not ready
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is a platformer suited for children, with a bit of humor for adults. The gameplay is simplistic and often boring, the multiplayer is half-baked, but the game catches that Bikini Bottom vibe.
In a pineapple, under the sea, lives SpongeBob SquarePants, a friendly yellow sponge who prepares the best Krabby Patty in...
West of Dead review: Unfinished business
West of Dead has everything it needs to succeed, and yet it remains stuck in its own little limbo - forever moving forward but never getting anywhere.
The roguelike genre is on fire. It presents indie developers with a priceless opportunity to take a familiar and beloved formula, and use it to innovate with new mechanics, stories, and settings. We've...
Summer in Mara review: A fruitful vacation
Summer in Mara takes some of the best elements from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and embeds them in a fun and relaxing farming sim that encourages exploration and creativity.
I was never a big fan of farming sims like Stardew Valley or My Time at Portia. But after playing a game that combines them with one of my...
Beyond Blue review: Studying the sea, under the sea
Inspired by the Blue Planet 2 series, Beyond Blue is the perfect example of how to make a game about making a documentary, but not much beyond that.
Developed and published by E-line Media, Beyond Blue is a single-player underwater simulator where you play as a marine biologist, tracking a pod of whales and studying their habitats. The game is...
Genki Covert Dock review: Small, portable, and powerful
Genki Covert Dock will make your Switch more portable than ever. It's small, easy to use, and does everything its official big brother does.
Did you ever have to go away for the weekend, and just decided to settle for using your Nintendo Switch in handheld mode the whole time, so that you wouldn’t have to carry its bulky dock...
