While I would love to see more games from this franchise, Creepshow itself is a fun but flawed first entry. Fun stories and striking visuals carry the show, but awkward animation, boring gameplay, and a disappointing two-story length hold it back. Horror and franchise fans are still likely to enjoy...
Looking for Fael is a fantastic puzzle game with some clever challenges to overcome and an interesting, multi-dimensional mystery to unravel. While the game’s reliance on physical note-taking feels like a flaw inherently baked into the game, it is the only one I really found worth commenting on. Fans of...
Mistfall Hunter has the bones of something that could be great. However, the current, bare-bones state of the game is full of unnecessary restrictions that limit solo play, an awkward core loop, and predatory monetization tactics befitting of a mobile game. The game’s beautiful world and exciting setting simply were...
For a simulation title, ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is exceptional, giving you a great simulation of a very niche idea in an even more niche setting. That being said, the game’s main mechanic could use more complexity, and the loop can get a bit repetitive and grindy, making the game...
For a game made by a solo developer, HellSlave II: Judgment of the Archon is impressive and outright inspiring. Small problems persist, but overall the game features incredible art, a strong narrative and setting, and turn-based RPG combat that is not only incredibly fun, but also has more exciting to...

While the tools have some slight issues and the assets could be better, the title particularly shines in using simple shapes and geometric language to create impressive scenes with unimpressive, easy-to-use shapes.

Corsair Cove is a great city-building game for those who like the actual act of building up their town, watching it grow and admiring the shape their labor takes, aided in no small part by its unique pirate theme and how it forces you to build atop and along towering...
Fogpiercer is a fun roguelike deck builder with a unique “battle train premise,” but its core gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive. A little more content, especially explorations of the game’s narrative or characters, could have greatly helped with this problem; but even so, the game still manages to be a...
Like a most deadly pandemic, Pathogenic has flown under the radar, but is soon to explode across the population and infect us all with a good time. This excellent twin-stick bullet-hell shooter boasts great mechanics and a strong theme to showcase them, one that left my skin crawling in all...
Ascend to ZERO is a fantastic roguelike, one that combines its unique time-trial mechanics with a quick, dirty, and clever adaptation of survivors-like combat and satisfyingly intense level scaling. The game looks and plays great, but some poor localization and the grindy nature of its difficulty curve might prevent some...
