Making Pokopia’s Post-Game Less Overwhelming

There’s a lot of anxiety that comes with just how massive Pokémon Pokopia looks and feels. As you begin to progress your Ditto’s story, you’ll find that you’re not just dealing with the massive landscape of Withered Wastelands, but four other distinct areas with…

Fulqrum Publishing Revives Theatre of War

You might think the entire concept of making video games about World War II has been done to death for ages now. It seems both Valve and Fulqrum Publishing would disagree with that, however. Steam will be hosting a World War II-themed…

Constance (Nintendo Switch) Review

I believe Metroidvania games resonate so strongly with players because of their input-oriented design. Some games feel like they’re letting you steer the experience with safeguards, and others let you feel like you’re playing a supporting role in a movie. Games like Constance,…

Kioku Last Summer gets Release Date

Despite living in Texas, where the heat is bringing an early Summer, I know that most people are enjoying Spring. The rain and blooming flowers are bringing bountiful gardens and all sorts of idyllic things. For those who prefer summertime and cozy…

The Last Gas Station is out now

I might have made it clear over my umpteenth articles where I reference the likes of Theme Hospital and other stalwarts of the management genre, I love a good business management or management game in general. One such game that I’ve kept…

Mouse: P.I. for Hire (PC) Review

Easily one of the games I’m most anticipating this year, There Are No Ghosts at the Grand is a weird mix of small-town UK weirdness with renovation-style gameplay. However, hidden underneath the veneer of Carsley (there is a reference to 12 people),…

PowerWash Simulator 2 Star Wars Collab Announced

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… There were things that needed to be cleaned. Honestly, I’m amazed that this hasn’t happened already, considering the variety of collaborations FuturLab has done with various properties. However, a new intergalactic mess…

Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth (PC) Review

It is rare that I find a game that nails everything it sets out to do. I missed out on playing Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, so when I saw the trailer for Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth, I immediately knew I needed to play…

Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator (PC) – Preview

Now, in theory, one of the most respected jobs in the US should be a US Park Ranger, but morons keep shutting the government down, and they don’t get paid. Now I love a “shonky” simulator, and publisher Astragon Entertainment is one…
