DEATHGRIP (PC) Demo Impressions

Whenever I browse “For You” on X (formerly Twitter), the algorithm tends to push some indie titles my way. When DEATHGRIP made its way to my feed, instantaneously I recognized it as a modern take on Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Everyone has that…

Wizordum (PC) Preview

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop – Gamescom Hands-off Preview

With Gamescom kicking off tomorrow morning, I got a private little showcase of British developer Beard Envy’s upcoming multi-platform release for 2024, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop. Previously announced as a PC-only title, due to demand the team will be bringing the spaceship repair…

Gunbrella (PC) Preview

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…
