7.8 / 10.0 - Glyph
Feb 1, 2021

I'm a fan of games that combine elements from multiple titles to make for a new experience so Glyph, featuring a mix of 3D platforming ala Mario and others with a healthy dose of Marble Madness (or Monkey Ball for younger gamers) mechanics firmly checks the box for unexpected...

8.5 / 10.0 - Bonkies
Jan 29, 2021

7.1 / 10.0 - Silver Chains
Jan 29, 2021

Horror adventure / walking simulators are always a bit of a mixed bag, and many have unfortunately gone down the rabbit hole of featuring too many objects you can pick up and move around to look at fruitlessly, which is annoying...

8 / 10.0 - Olija
Jan 28, 2021

With it’s very retro pixelated look you could walk into Olija expecting a similarly old-school experience, but you’d be wrong...

8 / 10.0 - TOHU
Jan 28, 2021

Right out of the gate I was honestly a bit nervous with the look and feel of TOHU, concerned that it would go firmly down the cute and quirky road but come up short in terms of variety and challenge...

7.5 / 10.0 - Disjunction
Jan 28, 2021

Both stealth games and cyberpunk theming have been pretty popular in more recent years, and Disjunction does an admirable job of bringing together these two great tastes to make something pretty appealing, even if its stealth segments can’t quite stay fresh over its handful of hours...

7 / 10.0 - Gods Will Fall
Jan 28, 2021

I always get a bit nervous when anything, whether in its own marketing or by players, gets described as Souls-like since for me that generally points to a measure of tedium and some frustration...

6.2 / 10.0 - Heaven's Vault
Jan 28, 2021

Regardless of how I feel about the game's overall funky mechanics and technical quirks at times, Heaven's Vault deserves credit for putting effort into building a bit of a different world that you'll need to endeavor to explore and understand...

While most people first think of LucasArts classics when waxing nostalgic over the days of point-and-click adventures past, the foundations of the genre were typically focused more on fantasy and adventure than plentiful silliness...

In the follow-up to Chains of Satinav the Dark Eye series takes a bit of a different path, or in this case multiple paths, when it comes to the story being told...
