Broken Roads promises deep role-playing in a post-apocalyptic Australia
Broken Roads is an upcoming “cerebral” narrative-driven RPG developed by the Australian-based studio Drop Bear Bytes. It’s inspired by classics such as Fallout and Baldur’s Gate, with a touch of Disco Elysium’s dialogue-heavy, intelligent edge.
Game Director and studio Co-Founder Craig Ritchie was kind enough to take us through a presentation and a short demo of the game, showing us...
Exo One explores a different kind of sci-fi game
Sci-fi and space games usually have a spaceship, futuristic technology, and strange, far-off planets. But also lots of aliens, shooting, and explosions. Developer Exbleative decided their space game, Exo One, will be different but equally as compelling, if not more so.
Exo One is about a spacecraft traveling between planets using a unique, gravity-based traversal system. At least that what...
Gamedec preview: Crimes and punishment in a virtual world
We first played The cyberpunk RPG Gamedec at Gamescom 2019, where we met and spoke with the developers at Anshar Studios.
After the game’s successful Kickstarter campaign, the devs have released a pre-alpha version to selected people. I had a chance to play through a small section of Gamedec and reach my own conclusions about the game and the case...

Lost in Play tells of a sister and a brother who are, quite literally, lost in play. I recently had the pleasure of accompanying...
Gunfire Reborn Early Access preview: Hectic yet repetitive fun
Gunfire Reborn is an indie Roguelike. You kill things, loot their corpses, and try to get as far as you can before you die. And it's so much fun.
The game doesn't hold your hand. Quite the opposite, actually - it throws you into the deep end. Do not worry, though. Gunfire Reborn is simple enough to understand: Kill, loot,...
Cris Tales preview: JRPG elements, time control, and beautiful symmetry
Cris Tales isn't just a game for people with my very particular tastes in UI, character design, and colorful graphics. It's a unique experience in which you play a girl that can control time. It's a role-playing game with choices and consequences. It's a crafted love letter to games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy.
Oh, and it has a...
Gloomwood preview: Immersive stealth with a little shotgun action
Gloomwood is described as "Thief with guns" and that's a pretty fair description. You sneak around a dark, Victorian city and dispatch your enemies with a sword to the back, or a shotgun blast to the face.
"Thief," of course, refers to the classic stealth series by the same name. If you ever played either Thief: The Dark Project or...
In Sound Mind preview: Oh, the psychological horror
As a horror fan, I was glad to discover a new psychological horror title during the PlayStation 5 event, in between the announcements on Horizon 2 and a new Spider-Man game. That horror title is In Sound Mind, by the developer with the most original name ever - We Create Stuff.
I grew up playing games like Silent Hill and...
