David’s Backlog Busting: Baba is You (PC) Preview

Under the Backlog Busting microscope today, I’ve got Baba Is You, a really clever puzzle game developed and published by Hempuli Oy. In Baba Is You, you play as the titular Baba, a sheep (I think) who has to navigate through puzzles…

Hell Maiden PC Demo Preview

Bullet Heavens are a genre of games that I love dearly. Over the holiday break, I took some time to dip back into them, playing HoloCure, Vampire Survivors, and the demo for Hell Maiden. Hell Maiden is hard to describe at first,…

The Devil’s Due (PC) Demo Preview

I’m occasionally reminded by an email from Steam that game demos are still released outside of the three annual Steam Next Fest events. That’s how I discovered my subject today: The current demo version of The Devil’s Due, developed and published by…

Where Winds Meet First Impressions

Voyagers of Nera (PC) Preview

It has been quite a long time since I have written any articles recently, and part of that reason is Voyagers of Nera. Not because it is a bad or long game, but because it is so addictive! While this game is…

Ember and Blade Demo Preview

I love a Bullet Heaven/Survivors-like as much as the next guy. So, I’m always on the lookout for the next twist on the genre. When I started browsing the last Steam Next Fest, I knew there would be a few that would…

David’s Backlog Busting: They Are Billions (PC) Preview

I’ve been in the mood for real-time strategy games since I recently reviewed Lessaria. In contrast to the bog-standard high-fantasy setting within Lessaria, however, the subject of this Backlog Busting entry leans much more heavily into common steampunk tropes. What we’ve got…
