Hades review: Let’s get the hell outta Hell
Hades is a spectacular action Rogue-lite that offers various ways to progress, but there's little reason to keep playing once you escape Hell.
Right now, it feels like we're all living in an endless lockdown we wish we could escape. So it's the perfect time for a game like Hades, a game where you literally try and escape your life...
Bake ‘n Switch review: Wonderfully baked, but doesn’t follow the recipe
Bake 'n Switch is a cute and challenging party game that brings any friendship to a boil, whether your playing with or against your friends.
Bake 'n Switch has a pretty simple concept: collect pick up adorable creatures made of dough, and throw them in the oven to get points.

The concept may be simple, but those cute little guys are...
Lancelot’s Hangover review: Drunk and disorderly
Uneven writing and hit-and-miss jokes hurt Lancelot's Hangover, but if you're into classic puzzles and Pythonesque silliness, it's a quest worth taking.
Lancelot's Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze is a weird game, although I'm not sure the word "weird" begins to cover it. I think I'll let the game's trailer explain it better:

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind review: Not according to plan
Ultimately, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind misses the mark. If you love the show, you might get a few more hours with your favorite characters, but not much else.
Games based on movies and TV shows are nothing new, and they're usually nothing good. Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, based on the popular show Peaky Blinders, keeps proving this notion right.

Star Renegades review: A new hope
Star Renegades takes inspiration from some big names but ultimately stands stronger on its own thanks to its one-of-a-kind combat system.
Star Renegades is a rogue-lite RPG where you build a team of rebels to fight off the evil Imperium. It presents a nemesis system, similar to Shadow of Mordor, combines it with a friendship system that you'd expect from...
Raji: An Ancient Epic review: Abandoned by the gods
Repetitive puzzles, choppy framerate, and dull combat leave no reason to play Raji: An Ancient Epic - not even to learn more about Hindu mythology.
Raji: An Ancient Epic is a game that, at first glance, tries to do to Hindu mythology what the original God of War games did to Greek mythology. I don't know much about Hindu mythology,...
Metamorphosis review: Combining the mundane with the surreal
Metamorphosis is a fantastic adaptation of Kafka’s work that tells an absurd but compelling story. Navigating its twisted but beautiful world would've felt better with tighter controls.
“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.” - Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis.
In Metamorphosis, a puzzle...
Carrion review: All you can devour
Inspired by horror movies like The Thing, Carrion delivers a smart, gory, and empowering "reverse horror game."
When you think "horror game," you usually think about playing a helpless, feeble human running away from the shapeless horrors lurking in the shadows.
In Carrion, you play that shapeless horror, and it feels incredible.

Who Goes There?
Carrion is what you would call a "reverse...
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....
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...
