Grappling with time paradoxes, the butterfly effect and rouge AI, we will be the most workaholic detectives of all time!
Bramble: The Mountain King deserves praise for the care that went into its creation and the uniqueness of its fascinating and evocative Scandinavian folklore-inspired setting, but above all, it deserves recognition for its characters. Perhaps a little too short-lived.
Testament is a first-person RPG with Metroidvania elements developed by Fairyship Games, a team of just 15 people. It was released on July 13th on Steam, and will subsequently be released for Playstation and Xbox as well.
Fall of Porcupine is a bittersweet adventure that focuses on dialogue and a strong mature narrative. Critical Rabbit will accompany us to discover this world, but be careful. Appearances can often be deceiving.
Mountaincore is the new title developed and produced by Rocket Jump Technology for colony management lovers. Mountaincore has been released in early access since May 18 2023, only for PC players. Mountaincore is a 2D strategic simulation indie sandbox where we will guide a small colony of dwarves in their new settlement, managing everything from water supply to cultivation, as well as mining and selling materials
Blade of Darkness is a classic homage to its origins. It is nostalgic, violent, powerful, and memorable. SNEG’s remastered succeeds in almost everything it sets out to do, introducing noteworthy innovations to the technical and graphical aspects while preserving the original work’s identity. The gameplay and story remain unchanged, faithful, and untarnished since the 2001 release. While there may be some minor technical limitations and slightly dated graphics compared to contemporary standards, Blade of Darkness shines with numerous strengths and only a few minor weaknesses. It is a must-have for anyone seeking action, blood, and a bit of wholesome fun.
We embark on a potentially deadly journey with archaeologist Adamari “Andie” Ito. A story of adventure and discovery of what has been and what could be the fate of humanity.
Death or Treat is a hack-and-slash in 2D, beautifully drawn. It’s a game that playfully satirizes everything and while it clearly takes inspiration from Hollow Knight, it still possesses its own unique personality.
Edited by Wired Productions and developed by Rogue Sun, Tin Hearts is not only a 3D puzzle game which will put your skills to the test. It’s also a bittersweet story about a family, tragic events, denial and redemption. All of this is told during the 51 levels and a moving epilogue.
Papetura is an incredible visual and auditory experience, crafted with care and devotion, using paper as a material to create beautiful sculptures that serve as the backdrop and embellishments for this fabulous and bizarre world. The gameplay is simple yet effective, and the slowness of actions allows one to fully appreciate the hard work of its creator.
Age of Darkness: final stand is surely a good surprise and a real deal, especially for old school RTS lovers. Campaign mode is very promising and got on the right way.
Toasterball is an extremely unique and bizarre game. And I believe it goes without saying that it earns a lot when played in groups. Despite making good use of the toasters’ physics and the ability to perform “stunts” with the appliances, the gameplay becomes extremely chaotic. Toasterball is one of those games where the merits can transform into flaws depending on the player’s sensitivity.
Lumencraft is a top-down, roguelike shooter and base building with tower defense elements. Alone in dark halls, we have to find the precious Lumen, humanity’s last chance for survival.
Beyond the Wall is a fun and stimulating video game that takes you back to your childhood and the sense of adventure that can come from the most commonplace things. It has well-executed graphics and an excellent decision to exclude dialogues, though some may find it a little too short. Despite its cons, Beyond The Wall offers an engaging experience that appeals to both children and adults, reminding players of the importance of imagination, creativity, and outdoor adventures while also providing an enjoyable gaming experience
Hi-Fi Rush is an original combination of a good action combat system and rhythm game mechanics with excellent cartoonish graphic, sound and music design.
Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is a little gem in the indie world: a solid and layered Village Builder with strong Roguelite elements and very good core ideas.
Blasphemous is a highly stylized and brutally challenging action platformer set in a world of great religious reverence, may be too difficult for some players, also in terms of the cruelty of the themes
DOOM Eternal is not simply an updated or improved version of DOOM (2016) or a more of the same. We are witnessing a true evolution that redefines and innovates its standards with new proposals that almost always manage to be efficient and perfect for use.
A short and relaxing experience that will let not only us find out the history of Maya and her grandad, but also a scenario that belongs to all of us
Dotemu brings a lovely tribute to Konami’s popular arcades with this new game that includes almost the entire universe of the TMNT: main and side characters, locations and all the details are very accurate
