The Lacerator Review — My Third Leg (Minus Two)
Beneath absurdist humor that pokes fun at its genre is a horror game that could easily fit alongside the rest.
Erik Hodges is a hobby writer and a professional gamer, at least if you asked him. He has been writing fiction for over 12 years and gaming practically since birth, so he knows exactly what to nitpick when dissecting a game's story. When he isn't reviewing games, he's probably playing them.

Town to City Early Access Review
Town to City is a cozy and relaxing city builder with an emphasis on building and decorating, but not necessarily planning or strategy.
Borderlands 4 Review — Quadruple Badass
Borderlands 4 elevates the franchise, showcasing the best the gameplay has ever been and greatly improving on the storytelling and writing of Borderlands 3.

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots is a surprisingly enjoyable golf game with solid mechanics and a chill vibe, even if it doesn't do much to win over people who already dislike the sport.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel has improved a lot since its Early Access launch, becoming a strong entry in its genre.

Though it fails as a horror game, Bad Cheese is still a narrative-driven title worth checking out for the strength of its premise, its interesting themes, and the merit of its art.
