Dredge

Dredge

March 27, 2023
9.0

With its masterful mixing of cozy fishing gameplay and horror elements, Dredge is pretty much a slam dunk of a debut for Black Salt Games. The style in its presentation and gameplay shows competence and confidence, and I hope they follow Dredge up with something great very soon.

If you’re new to Soulslikes, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty might be the most fun and accessible one yet thanks to a number of features it implements.

Scars Above

Scars Above

8.0

Scars Above is a fascinating mix of point-and-click narrative and Soulslike action games. I can’t recall playing a game quite like it in the recent past, and for that alone, it deserves praise.

Atomic Heart

Atomic Heart

February 19, 2023
8.0

As a first major project from a largely new studio, Atomic Heart is astounding. It is a visual spectacle with great gameplay and an overarching story that is worth seeing to the end. But as a title that is aiming to take on the other major blockbuster games of the recent past, it’s not quite there.

Hi-Fi Rush

Hi-Fi Rush

9.0

Even though it has flashes of games that came before, Hi-Fi Rush is a unique, masterful game that accomplishes everything it sets out to with plenty of style and charm to spare.

Valheim

You don’t need to be as strong as a Viking to enjoy Valheim. However, having that strength and a few friends by your side might help you survive and navigate this fascinating yet unforgiving world.
