Sovereign Tower isn't perfect. Some systems could have been explained better, some missions feel less well thought-out than others, and sometimes I get the feeling that the game is holding back information that I'd have liked to have access to as well. But its charm more than makes up for...
Thrifty Business is a good game that suffers from occasionally trying to be something it doesn't really need to be. I don't always understand the developers' thinking, but that might also be because I'm not part of the intended target audience for all aspects of the experience. If, however, you're...
High on Life 2 is a good game. It's not a masterpiece, but it does everything its predecessor did, and then some. It suffers from a few too many bugs and needs a little polishing, but it's nothing major, and if you can't wait to start playing, I'm not going...
So, with that said: Slots & Daggers is a great game - through and through. It's addictive enough to keep you coming back for a few nights in a row to keep spinning out the right symbols and getting further and further on the map, unlocking more and more new...
For me, RV There Yet? ended up not being a game, but a metaphor for just that: the road that never ends, the repetition, the lack of direction. It's a viral success that says more about us than about itself. We no longer want to arrive. We just want to...
Cloverpit is a game you shouldn't play, but you can't stop playing. And that, my friends, is probably the most accurate review you can give a game that is about never really being able to stop.
All in all, Dead Reset offers a fun journey. It's good - all the way through, but never more than that and never less. It's a solid 7/10 and definitely something I'd happily recommend - especially if, like me, you love old school slashers with lots of gore and guts...
To a T
To a T can probably be classed as a cosy little game with a nice story, but there's nothing new here. Katamari Damacy offers so much more fun, and the only thing that To a T has that makes it even slightly unique is the premise that orients around the...
Into the Restless Ruins actually offers something new and fresh that helps enrich the beloved rougelike genre. Although it borrows liberally from other rougelike giants, Ant Workshop has really borrowed from the right places and created something unique that is very addictive and offers an insane amount of replay value....
But still, I wouldn't say the game is all that bad. It may be rather thin and far too light, but when the world is so beautiful and overflowing with Easter eggs and homages to other cyberpunk classics, it still makes for a rather enjoyable journey. Neon Blood's short running...
It's basically an okay game, at least if you look at its graphics, music and presentation. The graphics are actually incredibly charming and reflect the era very well. The music is also one of the game's big pluses (one of the few, unfortunately) and the tuneful ska tones are genuinely...
