Keylocker is free on Epic

We’ll forgo the pretense of “look at other news from this week,” because I got a bit ranty over the weekend, and there was not much other news. Slime Rancher 2 got a release date, while this Black Desert Online-like, Chrono Odyssey, looks…

Eureka “Noche De Sueños” – Review

Walking around with the little Sheriff on display, eh, Jack? I know some people (my editor) who have that dream regularly, mostly of you. Directed by director and actor Eric Laneuville, he’s best known for being in 29 episodes of the 1970s…

Vambrace: Cold Soul (PC) Review

I’m afraid I don’t have the highest quality of puns to introduce this review. I’ve had a look at Vambrace: Cold Soul, whose lead game and narrative designer described it as “a love letter to the games that left their indelible marks…

River City Girls Zero (PC) Review

River City Girls Zero, despite its title, is actually not an announcement of the final score at a particularly disappointing sporting event. Rather, it’s a side-scrolling beat-‘em-up that’s quite similar to those that were common in the heyday of arcades, the Super…

Sultan’s Game (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: Sultan’s Game features strong themes that will be referenced in this review, such as murder and depravity. Reader Discretion is advised. After reviewing games for over 10 years, sometimes things begin to feel a little bland. Sultan’s Game is one…

Killing Floor 3 (PC) Review

One of my fondest memories of getting accustomed to Steam after getting my first gaming laptop was discovering all the hidden gems on the platform. My affinity to the Source engine led me to Killing Floor, a zombie killer that actually managed to…
