Discounty Review — Local Grocer
Somewhere between Stardew Valley and Supermarket Simulator, I highly recommend giving this gem a try.
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.
OVIS LOOP Early Access Review
Overall, OVIS LOOP is a shockingly stable and well-put-together Early Access roguelike which is sure to win over fans of the genre.
The Scouring Early Access Review
The Scouring is a compact and fun RTS experience and is well polished even in its Early Access state.
Killing Floor 3 Review — Blood Money
Killing Floor 3 improves on its predecessor in several ways but may be best experienced in a few years.
Static Dread: The Lighthouse Review — The Dark and the Deep
Static Dread: The Lighthouse is an excellent resource-management horror game that excels with its fantastic storytelling, incredible art, and hypnotically immersive setting.
Tiny Bookshop Review — Books by the Beach
While it may not appeal to hardcore sim fans, those drawn to wholesome storytelling and slice-of-life gameplay will find a gentle and delightful escape in Tiny Bookshop.
Frosthaven Early Access Review
Frosthaven is a game I would give some time to breathe, keeping an attentive but weary eye on its development.
Death Relives Review — Skinned
Though Death Relives is built upon a strong concept, the concept alone is not strong enough to carry other aspects of the game that fail to fit into its genre or generally excite.
Heartworm Review — Beyond the Static
Heartworm works best in its subtlest areas, leaving players to experience the tension of its beautifully creepy environments and its subtle, anxiety-inducing score and story.
Let Them Trade Review — Wood for Potatoes, Wool for Fish
Let Them Trade is a relaxing, no-pressure title delivering on its promise of simplicity but falling short on long-term engagement.
The King is Watching Review — Tile Autocracy
The King is Watching is a smart, surprisingly deep blend of roguelike systems and city-building mechanics.
Hotel Galactic Early Access Review
A charming and visually stunning Ghibli-inspired colony sim with heart, Hotel Galactic shines artistically but struggles with Early Access growing pains.
The Drifter Review — Green Eyes In The Dark
What I thought would be a quick backlog review turned out to be one of the most emotionally gripping, atmospherically rich games I’ve played in a long time.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Review — Ruffled Feathers
Though I'm sure many will love it, I personally feel Wuchang’s feathers are a little too ruffled to soar.
The Necromancer’s Tale Review — Magic Book
The Necromancer’s Tale is a standout narrative RPG that values prose over play, best approached as a richly interactive novel and not a traditional RPG.
RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business Review — I’d Buy That For a Dollar, Too
RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business is a leaner, meaner take on the RoboCop: Rogue City formula, trading bloated exposition and side content for focused, explosive action in a tight and stylish setting.
Drill Core Review — Diggy Diggy Hole
Drill Core was a fun first dig, but not one with much buried beneath the surface.
Back to the Dawn Review — Concrete Jungle
Back to the Dawn is one of the most unique indie RPGs I've played in recent memory.
Ground of Aces Early Access Review
Ground of Aces stands out in its genre but could use some work before release.
Gaucho and the Grassland Review — Cowboy Coziness
Gaucho and the Grassland is a game that grows into itself over time and rewards those willing to overlook its clumsy start.
