6 / 10.0 - Castle of Venia
Sep 8, 2018

Castle of Venia smells of good old games of the past, but too many technical limitations and the lack of content irremediably limit all the good things it can give.

8.1 / 10.0 - Tempest 4000
Jul 25, 2018

Jeff Minter has been able to renew the classic Tempest formula, which becomes an excellent game even after 38 years. Unfortunately, the PC version has some small but annoying technical problems.

8.2 / 10.0 - Golem
Jun 25, 2018

Golem is a very interesting indie game, with its original mix of adventure, puzzle and platform elements. Controls can still be improved, but it's fun and well done even in its current state.

7.8 / 10.0 - Odium to the Core
Jun 14, 2018

Odium is a small but well crafted game, full of pressing music and high difficulty. The very hard challenge and the heavy rhythm of techno music could be frustrating for some players.

The art direction can truly be misleading: behind poor animations, seemingly cheap drawings and some technical constraints you'll find an excellent, intriguing and well-designed graphical adventure based on a trilogy of fantasy novels, penned by the little known Sebastiano Brocchi. The slow pace, the richness of the lore and the emphasis on the story will definitely please the hardcore fans of the genre.

7.8 / 10.0 - Black Jewel
Dec 18, 2017

Black Jewel is a game designed for gamers that spent their childhood watching the loading screen of the Commodore 64, with its simple gameplay and a soundtrack that sounds exactly like a SID tune. In order to appreciate it, though, you need to get back to the 8-bit era, and forget everything that came after it. The fact that it costs only 2 euros is the cherry on top.
