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…

Snowtopia (PC) – Early Access Preview

Skiing, it is an act of suicide that’s encouraged. Outside of extreme sports games like SSX, I’ve never understood the mentality of strapping a dodd of wood to your feet and flinging yourself off the side of a mountain towards some trees. However,…

King of Seas First Impressions

Naval combat in video games has always intrigued me. Ever since experiencing a virtual-reality Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World as a kid, I’ve had a soft spot for the world of the seven seas. Ship combat has been explored in…

Rawmen (PC) – Preview

I could have sworn that the first time I’d seen or heard of the homoerotic food-fight and Splatoon-like game, Rawmen, it was at E3 2018 or 2019. For the life of me, I can’t find that trailer prior to August 2019, and that’s from…

Samudra Demo First Impressions

With Steam’s Autumn Edition Game Festival newly underway, I’ve found myself yet again in the delightful — if time-consuming — position of sifting through the widespread of new, long-awaited, and forthcoming games on offer for the gems among them. Enter Samudra, an…

Mars Horizon (PC) – Preview

To quote Jean-Luc Picard: “Space, it is really bloody big!” At least it was something like that. Space is a magical place full of blank voids of hatred that want to kill you, and according to our imagination, little green men with…

Remothered: Broken Porcelain (PC) Preview

Warning: This article contains mentions of transphobia. Full disclosure: I approached the opportunity to preview Remothered: Broken Porcelain cautiously. Having read some of the feedback on its predecessor, Remothered: Tormented Fathers, I had some concerns when it came to whether the sequel…
