Formula Legends get release date for next month

For some of us, the F1 summer break is great. It means you don’t need to get up at 3 AM to watch the support races, either on the throne or clinging to hold in the morning poo. With that, there goes…

Souldiers (PC) Review

What I’ve placed in my reviewing spotlight today is Souldiers, a 2D, high-fantasy metroidvania with a few Souls-like elements and a light sprinkling of Norse mythology added in for good measure. I shall now prepare a concise field debriefing about what makes…

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…

Tainted Grail: Conquest (PC) Review

This marks the second game I’ve reviewed within a couple of weeks that’s both set in Arthurian mythology and evokes pleasant memories of Darkest Dungeon. Considering how much I like both of these things, I certainly won’t complain. The game under my…

Slime Rancher 2 gets Full Release Date

I really enjoyed my time with the original Slime Rancher. However, when Slime Rancher 2 came to Early Access, I chose to wait because I wanted to experience the game to the fullest extent. Now, Monomi Park has announced the full 1.0…

River City Girls Zero (PC) Review

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars (PC) Review

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for most 4X turn-based strategy games. When I had a cursory look at the Steam Store page for Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, I thought it might be kind of like a more advanced Sid Meier’s…

Insurgency: Sandstorm (PC) Review

I need to provide a disclaimer up front. I’m going to make quite a lot of comparisons to Team Fortress 2 during the following discussion of Insurgency: Sandstorm. I don’t exactly go out of my way to find new competitive, team-based first-person…

HammerHelm (PC) Review

Given my physical stature and my tendency to let my beard grow unchecked for months at a time, I often jokingly refer to myself among friends as “king of the Dwarves.” Thus, when I learned about HammerHelm’s existence, I felt compelled to…

Little Nightmares III Gets Release Date

Admittedly, I find the Little Nightmares franchise interesting. For a series with no dialogue, it has a surprisingly complex and layered narrative. Now, the upcoming Little Nightmares III (not to be confused with the similar-looking Reanimal) has a release date. Little Nightmares…
