I’m a a fan of narrative-focused investigative games, which is why I highly enjoyed games like The Wolf Among Us and Neo Cab. However, it seems like more and more of these games are being relegated to the dreaded walking sim genre. As we all know, barring very few exceptions...
Many of you probably know by now that I’m a huge fan or horror games. I’ve played dozens in the past few years, ranging from the excellent remake of Resident Evil 2 to the migraine inducing What Happened. They come in all shapes and sizes, but I have to...
2D platformers are a dime a dozen, but sometimes one comes along that surprises you. I had been pleasantly surprised by another title from Blowfish Studios with Infliction, so my curiosity was piqued when I saw they were releasing a new 2D platformer. While I love platformers, many of them feel...

Supergiant Games has become one of my favorites developers over the years. I was introduced to them a little late in the game, with Transistor being my first title I played a couple years ago. However, that game was all it took for me to get hooked and I proceeded...
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was originally released back in 2012 and despite favorable reviews, it was the only game to be released from developer 38 Studios before they filed for bankruptcy. This shocked and devastated me, as I was a huge fan of the game and had become fully captivated...
Modus Games is quickly becoming one of my favorite indie publishers. With games like Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break, Skully, and Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, they’re making a name for themselves as publishers of fun, quirky, and unique games. They might not all be the biggest powerhouses...
Nostalgia can be a very potent emotion. Many times we hold a game on a pedestal because of the fond memories we have of playing as a child. Or perhaps we treasure the overall experience of playing certain games with friends. It’s this emotion that drives so many publishers to...
Ghost of Tsushima has been one of the most anticipated titles for the WTMG staff ever since its announcement at the 2018 E3. Sucker Punch, mostly known for the Sly Cooper and Infamous series, took us all by surprise when they revealed they would be undertaking a massive open world RPG...
Skully
I’m seeing a pattern with a lot of skeleton themed games hitting the market recently. Just this year we’ve reviewed Skellboy, West of Dead, and Skelattack, all games featuring a skeleton protagonist. Surprisingly, there has been a fair amount of diversity between these games. Now we have Skully, the newest title...
Creaks
The Czech indie developer, Amantia Design, is at it again. They’re mostly known for their known for their point-and-click adventure games like the Samorost series, Botanicula, and Machinarium. However, I first fell in love with their off-beat style when I first played their interactive animation, Chuchel. They’re breaking their mold with Creaks,...
Creating a game centered around mental health can be tricky. Developers have to walk a fine line between being sensitive to the issues present, as well as providing a somewhat enjoyable experience for the player. The Poland-based developer, Genius Slackers, has set out to do just that with their debut game,...
Röki
I’ve been looking forward to Röki ever since my husband, fellow WTMG staff member Jordan Hawes, came back from E3 2019 raving about it. He knows how fond I am of point-and-click adventure games, harkening back to my childhood days of playing the King’s Quest series over and over. While...
