9.5 / 10.0 - Undertale
Jul 23, 2018

Undertale provides an experience unlike anything you'll find in the AAA space. It's a game you shouldn't miss out on, and one that will stay with you long after you've completed it.

6.5 / 10.0 - Graveyard Keeper
Sep 20, 2018

Graveyard Keeper's signature mechanic provides plenty of fun, and the numerous other activities keep things interesting, but the game is bogged down by balance issues, slow progression, and poor combat. There's a neat experience to be had here, but you need a lot of patience to get the most out of it.

Jan 30, 2019

Ashen copies some of the best aspects of Dark Souls' gameplay, and takes an interesting—if imperfect—approach to cooperative multiplayer. If you're up for a challenge, this game is a treat.

Team Sonic Racing is good, but it's a step down from Sumo Digital's previous kart racers.

Control: The Foundation is a rock-solid expansion that provides more of the explosive action, mind-bending mystery, and quirky humor that makes the main game so much fun.
