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...
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...
Evan’s Remains review: One jump ahead of a mystery
Evan's Remains is a beautiful game where the story is more puzzling than the riddles. It is a short, story-driven adventure with simple gameplay that's full of tough decisions and mystery.
When I first glimpsed Evan's Remains, I couldn't imagine that I'll develop so many feelings in so little time. Tension, sadness, joy, and amusement were but a small part...
Liberated review: Come for the game, stay for the comic book
Liberated is part comic book and part side-scrolling shooter. The comic book part is excellent and tells a powerful dystopian story. The game part? Not so much.
Liberated is split into two pretty separate experiences. One is an engaging comic book about a dystopian world where Big Brother is everywhere. The second is a 2.5D action platformer with cool-looking visuals,...
Atomicrops review: An absolute blast of a game
Atomicrops takes several fan-favorite genres, sticks them in a blender, and shoots forward one of the best and craziest games of 2020.
We first stumbled upon Atomicrops at Gamescom 2019, just before it went into Early Access. Since then, the game just kept getting better and better with every update until we finally arrived at this final version. Now that...
Detective Boiled-Hard review: A good day to boil hard
All things considered, Detective Boiled-Hard is a fun, funky, and wacky adventure game developed by one hardcore adventure game and movie fanatic.
Because Because Games is back with yet another funny, crude, and at times just plain absurd adventure game. This time, instead of traveling all over the world as a private detective, we walk the mean streets of New...
Fort Triumph review: Where XCOM and Heroes meet
With an exciting story, clever battle tactics, and plenty of humor, Fort Triumph is flying high. It loses some altitude due to rough visuals and repetitive gameplay.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you mix the fantasy and strategy of Heroes of Might and Magic with the tactics of XCOM - Fort Triumph is the game you want...
