Is This Seat Taken (PC) Preview

Sometimes a simple concept is enough for hours of enjoyment. A lot of games focus on complex experiences with lots of moving parts, and that has its place. However, Poti Poti Studio has gone with a simple concept that provides a satisfying…

As far as Souls-likes go, I didn’t have the best experience with Lies of P. However, I have been interested to see what the developers at ROUND8 Studio and NEOWIZ do with the upcoming DLC and beyond. Now, we’ve gotten a story…

Cattle Country Steam Next Fest Demo Out Now

Call me old-fashioned, but if you give me some pixel graphics and a fun adventure farming sim, I will probably be interested. That’s why Cattle Country caught my eye immediately when word spread that a new western-focused adventure starring a determined pioneer traveling…

Born of Bread (PC) Review

One of my favorite games of all time is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Generally, I love all of the Paper Mario games though, and the ideas in them make for excellent RPGs. Born of Bread is an Indie love letter to…
