Viewfinder (PS5) Review

Since the release of Portal, there have been a lot of First-Person Puzzle games that have been released to various levels of success. Games like Manifold Garden, The Entropy Centre, The Turing Test, Superliminal, and other similar games have all tried to…

Planet of Lana (PC) Review

Stunning from the word go, Planet of Lana is something I’ve been at least mildly excited about since I saw it during the extravaganza of beige that was E3 2021. This hand-painted, beautiful platformer is Limbo/Inside if they knew what RGB stood for.…

Wavetale (PS5) Review

Sometimes I feel bad for developers that release games late in the year. Most of the time by December you’ve already got your Game of the Year picked out, and you’ve already blown your game budget on a sale of some sort.…

It’s no secret that I love golf games. Mario Golf, Hot Shots Golf back in the day, you name it and I probably played it…except the PGA Tour games. Maybe I just like the arcade/cartoony golf stuff. Regardless, I’ve had my eye…

The Gunk is a game that was published by Thunderful Development and Publishing as a console exclusive on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows PC through the Microsoft Store. Thunderful is the same company that made the SteamWorld franchise, the award-winning…
