David’s Backlog Busting: Quadrilateral Cowboy Preview

I ditched Windows for Linux on my main gaming PC a few months ago. As I’ve learned more about how to use Linux and its many differences from Microsoft’s bloated spyware that masquerades as an operating system, I’ve joked that I feel…

Live A Live (Switch) Preview

For a long time, I had heard people talk about a spectacular JRPG called Live a Live. Some conversations about the game came up as I played Octopath Traveler, and for years, I had been told that I needed to play the…

David’s Backlog Busting: Kaiserpunk Preview

The Red Hot Chili Peppers once asked, “How come everybody wanna keep it like the Kaiser?” Well, Kaiserpunk is a game that may or may not address that question. Kaiserpunk, developed and published by Overseer Games, is “a grand city builder blending…

Voyagers of Nera (PC) Preview

The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time Preview

Strap in for this one, folks. While browsing through the Steam Next Fest, I came across what I thought was an interesting little RPG called “The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of all Time”. It looked like an interesting…

Final Sentence (PC) Demo Preview

Just when I thought I’d seen everything, along comes Final Sentence, a multiplayer, typing-based battle royale game. In each match of Final Sentence, you and however many other players joined the same server are all in a dimly-lit room, chained to desks…

NUTMEG! A Deckbuilding Retro Football Manager (PC) Preview

I can’t quite comprehend why I’m weirdly nostalgic for Teletext football scores. It was NABTS, JTES in Japan, and other things else where, but for those of you younger than dust itself, Teletext was the internet/newspaper on your TV and it was…
