7.1 / 10.0 - Okunoka Madness

7.4 / 10.0 - Spellbreak
Sep 3, 2020

Have you been feeling like Fortnite has become a bit played out? I have… though I think I felt that way pretty early since I always considered the quick-build types complete BS but I digress...

7 / 10.0 - Here Be Dragons
Sep 3, 2020

What do you get when you combine the randomness of the roll of the dice with a rule system that may be simple but has ample room for strategy (and mistakes) and a pretty sly sense of humor (though, as with all humor, it may not work for you)?

Sep 1, 2020

Taking on the task of making a game that feels like it's intended to occupy the same space as the likes of the Legend of Zelda series, even removing Breath of the Wild from the table, is a rough road few manage to make significant headway in...

6.7 / 10.0 - A Hero and a Garden
