Planet of Lana II (PC) – Review

It’s been 3 years since the release of Planet of Lana, and occasionally, I am still thinking about it when I see the odd side-scrolling puzzle platformer in that Inside-vein. A few years on, Wishfully and Thunderful Publishing are back with another…

Ereban: Shadow Legacy (PS5) Review

Many months ago, while looking through the list of upcoming games, I came across a special physical edition of Ereban: Shadow Legacy. At first glance, I assumed this must be some sort of remastered game, but it turns out it is an…

Cleaning Up! (Switch) Review

So many casual games on the marketplace now are making mundane parts of life entertaining. For folks like me who tend to play all of the hotly anticipated cozy titles, it’s sometimes tough to stand out. Whether unpacking after a move, running…

Ugly Betty “Secretaries’ Day” – Review

Ugly Betty “Petra-Gate” – Review

At least this isn’t in the UK, or we’d be talking about the pornography police checking IDs. Directed by Paul Lazarus, this was Lazarus’ only outing after and before directing some dreck: Friends, Baywatch, Murder, She Wrote, and Pretty Little Liars. However, Lazarus…

The Rogue Prince of Persia (Switch 2) Review

I have been a fan of the Prince of Persia series for a long time. My experience is more closely linked to the 3D games, though Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of my favorite Metroidvanias ever. When The Rogue…

Fortune Seller (PC) Review

After playing Fortune Seller’s demo a while back, I came away from it feeling interested in the final game. However, upon playing the final product for myself, I come away feeling a little cold. Fortune Seller is a fun prospect and concept,…
