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.
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.
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.
He is Coming Early Access Review
He is Coming delivers a tight, focused, and surprisingly addictive roguelite experience.
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Review — The Fate of Family
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a gorgeously crafted stealth adventure that’s full of mood, momentum, and mystery.

For strategy fans and nostalgia hunters alike, this Definitive Edition more than earns its name.

Mycopunk is great, but some of its key features are going to be polarizing.
Xenopurge Early Access Review
The right game for the right audience, Xenopurge is worth keeping an eye on as development continues.
Everdeep Aurora Review — Deep and Dark
Everdeep Aurora is a niche, atmospheric gem that trades gameplay intensity for mood, narrative, and artistic charm.

Every Day We Fight has some unique twists on the XCOM style, but needs a bit of work before it launches.
