Expertly executed and with a lot of flair (much like many other Devolver Digital published games), Gunbrella takes a boilerplate idea and setting and goes the extra mile with it. You have found your wife brutally murdered. You are on a trying cross country journey, seeking revenge. Oh yeah, and equipped...
The concept of language is fairly compelling when you think about it. Every culture has one, and there are differences between each; some subtle, some extreme – and that’s before we get into any jargon terms or hyper-local references, ya bloody larrakin. Finding those commonalities between different languages can be...
Anonymous;Code
What if you could influence the future by reloading the past through save files? ANONYMOUS;CODE answers that question by putting you in a high-stakes visual novel where reloading your saves matters.

Eternights
There is an apocalyptic event that only you, the blank-slate protagonist, can stop from occurring. You and your group of friends are all high school students and in your downtime from saving the world, you strengthen your bonds. Maybe even love will blossom amid everything! You may have seen this...
The last year of high school is a weird time; you’re still treated like a kid yet you’re asked to make so many life altering and adult decisions. To paraphrase Britney Spears – you’re a teen, not yet a grown-up. The narrative rhythm game Goodbye Volcano High deals with the...
Fae Farm
As an enjoyer of tasks that most people consider menial and boring, I have always been a major supporter of the farming sim genre. I’m always raptly waiting for the next release in the Rune Factory or Harvest Moon series and blatantly ignoring every open-world AAA experience unless it includes...

Tapping into that desire to explore the stars and expand the human understanding, Starfield is a game brimming with curiosities and possibilities dotted across a vast and alien universe. The first new IP for Bethesda Game Studios in 25 years, Starfield takes on the learnings from series like Fallout and...
Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is an over-the-shoulder survival-horror game very much in the vein of certain Resident Evil titles, acting as a prequel to Daymare 1998. The original game was actually born from an independent group’s efforts to try and remake Resident Evil 2 before Capcom would go on to announce...
The art of a rhythm game channelling and championing licensed music has long died down. Existing largely in growingly desolate arcades and scarcely on our home consoles, rhythmic games with beloved pop and rock (or anything in between) songs are sorely lacking. Gone are the days of Guitar Hero, Dance...
Sea of Stars
Bedraggled and beaten, the two heroes are fighting for their last ragged breaths. The Fleshmancer’s minions swarm and heave. These snarling masses of limb, tooth, and blood are desperate abominations thirsting for carnage. As they poise to strike, the cold light of the watchful moon suddenly breaks through the surrounding...
