Terra Nil Designer Reveals Deckbuilder/City Builder, Combolands

City builders are a difficult genre to put a new spin on, given the nature of the gameplay as is. However, Free Lives and Clockwork Acorn’s 2023 release, Terra Nil, put a spin on that genre by being an ecosystem rebuilder, and…

Prop Sumo is free on Epic

Monday, for the creative-minded among us, Mini Worlds Dioramas is a wonderful little creative thing. Tuesday, rougher than a badger’s ring piece, Killware: Under Review was announced. Wednesday, Must Be Feng Shui is a weird little puzzle game that was announced. Humble…

Ugly Betty “Petra-Gate” – Review

At least this isn’t in the UK, or we’d be talking about the pornography police checking IDs. Directed by Paul Lazarus, this was Lazarus’ only outing after and before directing some dreck: Friends, Baywatch, Murder, She Wrote, and Pretty Little Liars. However, Lazarus…

Mini Worlds Dioramas is out now

I do love a diorama-building type of game: SUMMERHOUSE, Outside the Blocks, Tiny Glade, and things like that. It seems, flying under the radar, there is a new and seemingly expansive offering in that realm of the cozy, sandbox design, city-building sphere.…

Havendock and Hyper Echelon are free on Epic

Monday, Alexx rides JRPG-inspired games, like SoulStream, more than I rode NUTMEG! this week. Tuesday, Runescape is still a thing, somehow, and Taylor thinks the MMORPG is on the rise. Wednesday, hack and slash platformer and “Rogue-Vania,” Atomic Owl, now has a…

Ugly Betty “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” – Review

A sad pussy, Amanda is a drug and sex addict, Bradford disavows his daughter, Wilhelmina is scheming again, and Marc kisses Betty. Have I missed anything? Oh, and it’s the episode with Patti LuPone. Directed by Tricia Brock, this is only Brock’s…

NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager (PC) – Review

I find it difficult to have nostalgia for much, but teletext football scores feel oddly like a warm hug. NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager is the new football management Rogue-lite based around deckbuilding and the 80s-90s English Football League (EFL) nostalgia…
