Shadows Of Doubt (PC) Preview

Early Access and a story-driven focus or procedural generation and story-focused elements to a game are two points I always find contentious with each other. If in Early Access, I’m being spoiled on a linear story that is being polished. If it’s…

Formula Retro Racing: World Tour (PC) Preview

Formula Retro Racing: World Tour is kind of a one-trick pony doing a lot of dancing. It is an early access sequel to 2020’s Formula Retro Racing, which aims to be like the Formula 1 games of the 90s such as Formula One…

Scarlet Tower (PC) Early Access Preview

Since Vampire Survivors took the world by storm last year, a lot of games have cropped up in the same Roguelite genre. Some people call them Horde Survival games, others call them Bullet Heavens because your character is the bullet hell rather…

Kerbal Space Program 2 Early Access Preview

If you’re old enough to remember just before Steam allowed many early access titles on the storefront (opening the floodgates), Kerbal Space Program was one of the first great successes that led to the swell (or swill) of early access games we…

The Great War: Western Front Demo Preview

Early in the days of Xbox 360 and PS3, there was a game by the name of Overlord. It was unique in the sense that you could control a large number of minions to do your bidding in battle. It was a…

Gunbrella (PC) Demo Preview

There’s no shortage of Metroidvania titles on the market in 2022. The genre has had fantastic indie offerings like Axiom Verge, Ori and the Blind Forest, and tons of others to give players a sense of side-scrolling exploration and a worthy challenge. One…

Sweet Transit (PC) – Preview

As I’ve made clear when talking about Satisfactory, the influence of Factorio and its overall style is something I’ve enjoyed (despite Michal Kovařík digging himself a hole). I’m also sure I’ve made mention of my love for the 90s/early-2000s management games like Theme Hospital, SimCity, Dungeon…

Signalis (PC) Preview

Among everything that’s released this year or is set to release in the coming months, Signalis has sat high on the list of titles I’m looking forward to. From the familiar horror game influences to the retro-tech aesthetic, I was immediately interested…
