Duck Detective: The Secret Salami is a twisty mystery featuring off-the-wall humor, a memorable cast of characters, and some truly spectacular voice acting. The Duck Detective may crave bread, but I crave more Duck Detective!
As I left last year’s Gamescom, Hauntii was one of the games that left the biggest impression on me. It looked gorgeous and sounded even better. The story set up an interesting little premise, and the gameplay had enough interesting things going on to stand out amongst the masses. As...
V Rising shows us that being a vampire lord isn't all about smoldering looks, frock coats, and soaring Gothic architecture. It's a lot of work, apparently. But it has its perks, such as roaming the countryside, picking fights with champions, and occasionally draining them dry for their power.
I’m not a metroidvania guy. My frustrating and infuriating attempts at Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Hollow Knight, arguably the three most notoriously excellent games in the genre, should communicate all you need to know about my feelings on these kinds of games. Behold! Animal Well.
Mullet MadJack excites not just as an excellent shooter with its insanely intense and surprisingly vast array of moment-to-moment possibilities, but also as a sign of the maximalist, short-form future.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes developer Simogo has long since proven themselves capable developers. Their 2012 iOS game, Year Walk, is a haunting horror adventure game that I strongly recommend grabbing on Steam. More famously, Simogo created one of the best games of 2019 and one of the best indie...
Not flawless, but nevertheless a masterpiece. Dread Delusion is a best hits compilation of all that 2000s RPGs had to offer and then some, creating one of the best video game worlds of this decade.
Offering superb combat and rewarding exploration, Stellar Blade is let down only slightly by somewhat flat voice acting, odd quality of life oversights, and a narrative that has a full skeleton, but wants for more meat on the bone. Hopefully a sequel can smooth out these rough edges.
I’m confident that close to everyone reading this has played Wordle before. And if you somehow haven’t, then you might’ve played Hangman as a child, or maybe at least done a crossword puzzle when you were bored. Whatever it is, word games are, I think, a pretty universally enjoyed phenomenon...
Undead Inc. gives you a challenging management simulator that forces you to dive into shady sciences to stay alive. There are several rough edges but give it a chance and you will have a fun time.
Indika
While INDIKA is otherwise a unique, compelling and well-designed narrative puzzle game, its abrupt ending left a sour taste in my mouth. This tale of a nun's journey of self discovery is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
While it is guilty of some irksome point-and-click puzzle game pet peeves of mine, Tales from Candleforth is still a neat little puzzle game with gorgeous visuals that you can complete in one sitting.
