A pair of survivors set out on a perilous journey, hearing rumors of a safe haven north of the border. Along the way they pick up allies, fend off zombies while scavenging supplies from abandoned buildings. Every decision could spell the end, yet they press on knowing that success means...
Remember back in the day when Assassin’s Creed had a multiplayer mode? It’d be understandable if you don’t, considering the mode was only around for a few entries and Assassin’s Creed has always been known for its single-player focus, but I felt they were onto something special. Cut to 2018...
City of Brass
City of Brass is an odd beast. I’ve never played anything quite like it. Well, strictly speaking, that’s not true. It’s a procedurally generated dungeon crawler, with purchasable upgrades and an experience point system that persists between runs. It’s also a first-person melee game all about killing Arabian Nights themed...
Light Fall
From developer Bishop Games, Light Fall is a simple, aesthetically pleasing platformer that is challenging in its puzzles and perfect landings yet familiar in its art style and overall feel. Players take control of a young boy who awakens in the land of Numbra with no memory of who he...
Telling a story has never been particularly easy. If the theme is vague or the scope too broad, people have trouble connecting with it. At the same time an overly personal story can have the same effect, and what resonates for the writer becomes too narrow to engage the audience....
Frostpunk
From developer 11 bit studios, Frostpunk is a complex strategy survival experience that forces the player to make grave, moral decisions that will weigh heavily upon the immersive gamer. Set in a not too distant future, an apocalyptic event has caused an unending winter to strike the world, leaving England...
Octahedron
Even the game’s opening cutscene is too esoteric to really explain: a shadowy man-shaped figure exits a log cabin, beckoned to the nearby woods by a glowing, floating octahedron which, upon being touched, transports the shadow-man Tron-style into a bizarre, beat-heavy neon hellscape from which he must escape.
Rogue Aces
Aspiring air pilots, its time to take to the skies with a brand new, 2D air combat game for your Nintendo Switch, Rogue Aces. You’ll join the ranks of the green army, led by your wise-cracking commanding officer, and fight wave are wave against the brutal orange army. Fans of...
Tower of Time
I don’t have any experience with traditional CRPGs. To that end, I was pretty sure this game was gonna be a murderous slog, one that I would have to endure rather than enjoy. Turns out I was only half-right. Tower of Time is still a savage journey, but it’s one...
Dead In Vinland is a sequel of sorts to the management/survival/RPG Dead in Bermuda. I never played the original, but now I am desperate to go back. That’s because, short of a few easily patched-in features, Dead in Vinland is close to being an indie PC masterpiece. More than that,...
Masters of Anima is an adventure game from French indie developer Passtech Games that offers a fun little experience with a creative combat system, where strategy is the most vital characteristic. We are welcomed to the world of Spark, where a naturally occurring magical energy called Anima can be harnessed...
At the beginning of the game, we are introduced to Amalie and Milm, two sisters who have lost their parents to a witch. Milm comes home with a cut on her forehead, a mark that the villagers recognized as the Witch Disease, a horrible and mysterious disease that turns humans...
