Trails Beyond the Horizon (PC) Review

I’ve been a fan of the Trails franchise for a long time. Nihon Falcom’s RPG series sets itself apart from many others, weaving a tale across many games via a living and breathing continent. You experience the history of an array of…

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…

I’ve had my eye on Cult of the Lamb’s next expansion – Woolhaven – since it was announced at Summer Game Fest. I loved the cute but spooky Wintery aesthetic of the expansion. Now we finally have a release date for the…

Marvel Cosmic Invasion (PC) Review
