Wizordum (PC) Preview

A shiny modern take on the ’90s fantasy shooters some of us remember as Ultima, Wizardry, and the very early Elder Scrolls, Wizordum is the word nostalgia but in high-elvish, or something. In other words, everything is set to look flat but textured to seem 3D,…

Death Must Die (PC) Demo Impressions

Another day, another bullet heaven. That’s been my mantra throughout 2023, as I love plugging away at titles like Soulstone Survivors and Halls of Torment on my Steam Deck for hours on end while I feel my characters get stronger after every run. One…

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Demo Impressions

Not a day goes by anymore that I don’t want to play a bullet heaven. I’m currently grinding away at Soulstone Survivors and have several more hours to go, enjoying the chaos of fighting thousands of enemies with only a few buttons. When Deep…

Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore (PC) Preview

Early Access games have become a staple of the gaming landscape over the last six years or so. They are typically single player games that either have some form of co-op at the beginning or add it later on. Rarely are any…

Gunbrella (PC) Preview

Of all the Indie publishers that I’ve dealt with over the years, Devolver Digital has a tendency to release the most unique and sometimes off-beat games. Gunbrella, developed by Doinksoft who is known for games such as Gato Roboto and Demon Throttle,…

Rightfully, Beary Arms (PC) Preview

Developing a game isn’t easy work. It’s an industry where crunch is a norm, where something that’s supposed to be fun is a massive load of stress for the ones responsible for its creation. Passion projects are increasingly rare, but thankfully still…

Lifeless Moon (PC) Preview

Before I got my start with Lifeless Moon, I had a sneaking suspicion that I had heard of it before. That’s when I checked my Steam wishlist and found that I had added Lifeless Planet almost eight years ago. I was intrigued by the concept…
