We Are The Caretakers (PC) – Preview

We Are The Caretakers is a game precisely designed to annoy every one of those people I hate on the internet, the people who say, “Games shouldn’t have politics.” As if stating that humans are horrible to this planet and the other creatures…

Lake (Xbox One) – Demo Preview

I enjoy weird games, games that try something new or something a little slower. Lake is a game about being a postman, or as the so-called PC people of the time would call Meredith “Post-lady,” and talking to people you might not…

The Last Spell (PC) Early Access Preview

I have made myself clear in probably dozens of articles at this point, that I think fairness, accessibility, and difficulty spikes can impact enjoyment for a lot of players. When you play a game for fun or to relax after a long…

Hokko Life (PC) Early Access Preview

As a lot of you may know by the volume of Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons, and Harvest Moon-esque articles on this site, we’re big fans of life sims. I’m always on the lookout for something new and chill to play. Indie…

Going Medieval Early Access Preview

30XX (PC) Early Access Preview

I feel compelled to start this review by saying I’m probably not 30XX‘s target audience. That’s not an indictment of the game, by any means. Despite some rough edges that are no doubt a product of its Early Access stage of development,…

Balan Wonderworld (Switch) Preview

Since the announcement of Balan Wonderworld, I have been intrigued by both its colorful visuals and its premise. The idea of a theme-park styled “Wonderland” that connects to people’s emotions is something that I find fascinating. Additionally, the idea of a game…

Snowtopia (PC) – Early Access Preview

Skiing, it is an act of suicide that’s encouraged. Outside of extreme sports games like SSX, I’ve never understood the mentality of strapping a dodd of wood to your feet and flinging yourself off the side of a mountain towards some trees. However,…

King of Seas First Impressions

Naval combat in video games has always intrigued me. Ever since experiencing a virtual-reality Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World as a kid, I’ve had a soft spot for the world of the seven seas. Ship combat has been explored in…
