Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (The Game Actually Released Complete This Time)
I loved Cyberpunk 2077 when it came out. Controversies aside, the prospect of (minor spoilers ahead) a stowaway in your head trying to change who you are really intrigues me. Even the ideas of just cyberpunk in general, installing augmentations to your body, and everything a mess of wires and bootleg technology. Now though, […]

Blasphemous II (Sins are Good and Evil is the Way to Win Metroidvania)
Blasphemous II is fantastic. If you loved the first one, the sequel is everything that was but better. A cool weapon? Now there’s (at least) three to choose from. Amazing bosses? Blasphemous II introduces even more incredible designs. New mechanics that allow you to backtrack through old places unlocking secrets? Dozens more are here. […]

Night at the Gates of Hell (Butt Jokes Survival Horror)
Lol, love it! If you’re into this kind of thing, you certainly know that retro-inspired horror survival is booming. With legends like Puppet Combo crapping out PS1-era violence and shock, it’s channeling nostalgia for things past and which we wish still existed. Games like this make it so! And some of these titles mix […]

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (Intrepid Story-Slicing Privateer Simulator)
How does a night of transporting yourself into books, stealing key plot devices, and selling them to pay off your jail sentence sound? The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is this and more, layering pages of different plots on top of each other in a top-down, point-and-click/turn-based combat action adventure. With a more than serviceable […]

Amid Evil VR (Dark Fantasy VR Death LARP)
What a treat this one is. New Blood Interactive is already legendary for its retro-inspired FPS titles like Dusk or its legendary, oddball pixel horror title FAItH. A personal favorite of mine, and one I played in-depth, as well as reviewed on this site (look it up yourself lazy), is Amid Evil, an FPS […]

The Case of the Golden Idol (Gruesome Deaths Point-and-Click Detective Game)
The Case of the Golden Idol is in the style of point and click adventures from the early 2000s mixed with a modern macabre flair akin to the likes of Return of the Obra Dinn. It asks you to be the detective with as little hand-holding as possible, throwing you into a world with […]

Bleak Faith: Forsaken (Medieval Cyberpunk Dystopian Git Gud Soulslike)
Let me say something before I really begin here. This isn’t a game, it’s an experience. If you do a quick search you’ll undoubtedly find out about the jank, read a number of complaints, poor journalism in relationship to game assets from Epic, and other nonsense. But let’s get to what Bleak Faith: Forsaken […]

Signalis (I’m So Confused Yet So Entertained Survival Horror)
This is why Deaf Sparrow exists. To find these hidden indie gems that knock the socks off of the tired, repetitive crap coming from AAA developers today. Signalis feels familiar, yet utterly unique in it’s execution thanks to its not-so-subtle nods to survival horror of yore, and excellently confusing story, and frankly breathtaking worldbuilding […]

Decarnation (Ghastly PTSD Adventure Horror)
You’d think it wasn’t at all possible to bend a genre in a new direction, but here we are, with Decarnation. When I first got a glimpse of the visuals in the promo, I thought immediately of the classic JRPGs and action-adventure titles localized by Square/Square Enix for the SNES back in the 1990s. […]

Cult of the Lamb (Cutesy Cultist Simulation)
Oh Devolver Digital, you will forever be more interesting than any other publisher to date, continuing to release weird, wacky games that beg the question “How cute can we make human sacrifice?” The answer: adorable. From developers Massive Monster, Cult of The Lamb was a game that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only is it […]
