The fighting game scene is probably the hardest video game genre to break into. It’s crowded for one- Street Fighter is forever a mainstay, and Mortal Kombat (and the similar Injustice series) came out of nowhere to become the premier series. Then you’ve got Super Smash Bros, not to mention...
Humor is a very powerful tool when it comes to politics. This is especially true for political satire. The best critiques of politics have been wrapped in humor, and nothing works better than political satire that does not take itself too seriously. So here we have Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka...
Developed by DeadToast Entertainment and published by Devolver Digital, My Friend Pedro looks like yet another game that fits perfectly with the energy that Devolver Digital has been keeping for years. Previously shown off through fast-paced, frenetic combat, My Friend Pedro is exactly as advertised. According to its description, My...
PixArk
PixARK is Snail Games’ anticipated release offering a pixelated version of the much-loved survival game ARK. Snail Digital did not actually develop the original ARK: Survival Evolved game, but was actually utilized to create this version of the game by developers Studio Wildcard. They also built the game ARK Park...
Golem Gates
While I’m not the most experienced or seasoned RTS player, I can still appreciate these kinds of games. Trying to be as tactful as ever as I observe the units I have access to, attempting to do my very best in utilizing the map strategically to undo my opponent’s work....

In Vambrace: Cold Soul, the player follows Evelia Lyric in her quest to fulfill her father’s wishes to reach Icenaire. Unfortunately, Icenaire is surrounded by a magical wall that causes instant death to those who try to enter. Lyric’s father has given her a magical vambrace that allows her to...
Unruly Heroes
Unruly Heroes is a fun action-platformer with a beautiful artstyle, solid puzzles, and a lighthearted sense of humor. However, one shouldn’t let its kid-friendly artstyle fool them: this game’s platforming challenges rival those found in other 2D indie platformers such as 2018’s Celeste.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “The original Grand Theft Auto games were great, but what would make them better is modern graphics and destructible environments.” That’s all the introduction one needs for American Fugitive, the 3D top-down sandbox game from developer Fallen Tree Games that’s all about wreaking havoc...
Fans of puzzle games probably don’t need much of an introduction to the Puyo Puyo series, as it’s probably one of the most popular puzzle franchises that aren’t Tetris. Personally, my first Puyo Puyo experience was Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – the American version of Puyo Puyo from the...
There’s something about the long-running Atelier games from developer Gust and publisher Koei Tecmo that always has the same consistency throughout each title. While most JRPGs focus on a greater goal to save the world from some bad mojo, the Atelier games have scaled it back for its players for...
