Floppy Knights (PC) – Beta Preview

Ok, I have two notes from the Wholesome Direct and the games shown. Pupperazzi‘s release stated as “woof bark bark” is my everything, and the system requirements for Floppy Knights stating: “Floppy Knights does not require floppy disks to be played,” is indie perfection itself. Yes, I…

Terra Nil (PC) – Demo Preview

I would assume you’ve played a game in the last 15-years, so you’ll know the word “color” to an artist in the games industry is like asking Batman what his favorite colors are. There is a lot of black and dark grey,…

We Are The Caretakers (PC) – Preview

We Are The Caretakers is a game precisely designed to annoy every one of those people I hate on the internet, the people who say, “Games shouldn’t have politics.” As if stating that humans are horrible to this planet and the other creatures…

Lake (Xbox One) – Demo Preview

I enjoy weird games, games that try something new or something a little slower. Lake is a game about being a postman, or as the so-called PC people of the time would call Meredith “Post-lady,” and talking to people you might not…

The Last Spell (PC) Early Access Preview

Hokko Life (PC) Early Access Preview

As a lot of you may know by the volume of Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons, and Harvest Moon-esque articles on this site, we’re big fans of life sims. I’m always on the lookout for something new and chill to play. Indie…

Going Medieval Early Access Preview

I love trying out new City Builder games. I tend to enjoy playing them to relax or even just exploring and creatively building up a new community. Sometimes I find games that I can just play and enjoy like Islanders, where sometimes…

Call Me Under (PC) First Impressions

Call Me Under, the forthcoming visual novel from Lunaris Games currently slated for release in 2021, offers an alternately dreamy and unsettling trip through an alternate 1950s. It is centered on the underwater, glass-encased city perhaps aptly named Styx. As a community…

30XX (PC) Early Access Preview

I feel compelled to start this review by saying I’m probably not 30XX‘s target audience. That’s not an indictment of the game, by any means. Despite some rough edges that are no doubt a product of its Early Access stage of development,…

Balan Wonderworld (Switch) Preview

Since the announcement of Balan Wonderworld, I have been intrigued by both its colorful visuals and its premise. The idea of a theme-park styled “Wonderland” that connects to people’s emotions is something that I find fascinating. Additionally, the idea of a game…
