Back 4 Blood (Multiplayer Zombie Slay Game with Cards for Some Reason)
It’s been over ten years since Left 4 Dead (L4D) invaded our homes with multiplayer, team-oriented zombie mayhem. Quite the successful IP, the franchise only had two games before seemingly disappearing forever. Well, if you were a fan, here’s a surprise. While this game technically isn’t Left 4 Dead 3, in spirit it totally […]

Ender Lilies (Tender Spirit Summoning Metroidvania Game)
Beautiful, just beautiful. I’ve been picking at Ender Lilies for some time now, as I like to get the full feel of this type of game. You never know, they can start out strong, and finish as absolute trash due to weak mechanics and repetitive themes. But I doubted that from the beginning, and […]

Maid of Sker (Musically Inclined Survival Horror)
Ohhh man. Ohhh noooo. Back in the gaming business, freaks. Sad because I got this one so long ago but RL stuff was holding me down. Anyway, so I can review games again, which take awhile, and first-person survival horror has always been a genre of choice of this guy, so Maid of Sker […]

Ghostrunner (Cyberpunk Head Removal Sword Game)
Phew dang do I have a huge backlog of games to review. Here I am thinking I have all my serious life work pretty much done and then I convince myself I need to edit a textbook. Damn it. Well, I’ll have more time to play and stream in a few months, don’t worry, […]

Everhood (Retro Weirdo Boss Battle RPG)
Everhood is what happens when you bottle up an acid-trip run through Beatmania in a smoke-filled basement arcade and manufacture an NES cartridge out of the bottled essence. You take on the role of a one-armed doll engaging in dance battles with toads and ATMs that spit out little guitar hero buttons to dodge. […]

Unreal Life (Unearth Your Dead Memories Point-and-Click Sadness Game)
Ah, I just love finding games like this now and then. Such a relief and such a testament to the ingenuity of the indie market, but in particular those one-person insanity factories that just get it. Unreal Life was a random find by myself, ahem, that hopefully gets some more credit after this review, […]

Kohate (Sci-Fi BDSM Horror Puzzle Run)
This game is strikingly similar to The Subject (our first video game review on this site I believe, same company too) but its approach is much different and its storytelling more refined, though that “tie me down you beast” aesthetic is still present (lol). In Kohate you play the roll of an unnamed prisoner […]

Sense – 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story (Cyberpunk Big Chest Horror Click Game)
Everyone be talking about cyberpunk stuff this month even though they never played a lick of that Shadowrun until yesterday. Or they’re all talking about Neuromancer like it’s hot when it’s pretty crap, actually. So it’s obviously the flavor of the week, or rather year or longer depending on how long indie devs can […]

Waking (Third-Person Coma Survival Game)
Certain things are just great. The right creator can craft masterpieces as if simply breathing. It comes to them like the next in-breath, something they never even have to think upon. I knew Waking was going to be spectacular when I read the promo, and there was nothing about the assumption that ended up […]

Chicken Police – Paint it Red! (Clucking Animal Noir Game)
At some point in the course of my playthrough of Chicken Police, the new LA-noir-but-where-everybody-has-an-animal-for-a-head game from Handygames, me and my roommate decided we would drink to Sonny Featherland, our protagonist, every time he or his junior partner Marty MacChicken made use of any form of “cluck” (as in “cluck off”), and any time […]
