Job sim game, Wasteland Gunsmith Simulator, announced

I love job simulators, and in other news, the sun is still in the sky, and the ocean still has a floating island of plastic in it. It is difficult to call this one a “cozy” simulator, though, even if the Steam…

Graphite is out now

I swear (of course), I am not trying to repeat myself so often, but I honestly love a good, distinctive, creative art style coming together with gameplay. Even if elsewhere I am tired of some of those gameplay ideas. However, RipRed and…

Fenyx Digital reveal The Money Man

As Brendan Gleeson says in Spider-Noir, the money never lies. I’ve said it countless times before that I love a game with a distinct art style or an interesting mechanic, and technically Fenyx Digital, developer of Lotus: Lost Memories, doesn’t do either…

Ugly Betty “Odor in the Court” – Review

Well, Dammit Janet! Directed by Victor Nelli Jr, this is his penultimate episode of the season, before helming the finale in “Jump.” It is also the penultimate episode for our writer this season, though next time he only worked on the teleplay…

Precision Platformer with a twist, Grapple Bear, is out now

Those who have been around long enough will know that I enjoy games that do something differently, something refreshing that can stand out among the Rogue-likes/lites, Metroidvanias, and Souls-likes. Publisher HaviEgyJatek and developer ProkischDaniel might just have done that with the platformer…

Echo Generation and Luto are free on Epic

Monday, nothing happened because we’re in three dead zones left of the year. Tuesday, Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares gets a Switch release. Wednesday, Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is out now, Blargis revealed Blackout Jack, and there is a new devblog on…

Ugly Betty “Zero Worship” – Review

I don’t think I’ll ever “beware” of a dog named Twinkie. Directed by Ron Underwood, this is his first of only two outings as Ugly Betty director. Underwood previously directed for Boston Legal, Monk, Desperate Housewives, Reaper, Heroes, most recently Elsbeth, and…

Bloodthief dev, Blargis, Reveals New Game Blackout Jack

I’m not typically one for the Rogue-lite/like genre, as I’ve made clear a few times. I don’t hate it as a concept; I just sometimes feel it is overused to create a repetitive gameplay loop that isn’t fun on its own. Gambling,…
