Game Reviews
Section 13 Review — (Blackout Protocol)
Section 13 may not be revolutionary, but is worth your time if you're a fan of fast-paced roguelikes and don’t mind a few rough edges.
Islands & Trains Review — And Train*
While it has its limitations, Islands & Trains still delivers a unique and satisfying sandbox for those looking to unwind.
The Siege and the Sandfox Review — Desert Nights
The Siege and the Sandfox is a beautifully crafted Metroidvania that excels in every artistic aspect.
Survive the Fall Review — Wasteland Management
Survive the Fall does colony management really well, but I found myself uninspired by its open-world exploration.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Review — Forever King
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon delivers a refreshingly dark and engaging RPG experience with a strong narrative, a reimagined take on familiar mechanics, and a world that feels both mythic and original.
Monster Train 2 Review — Heavenly Metal
Monster Train 2 doesn’t just earn its place in the crowded roguelike deckbuilder genre—it sets a new bar.
The Precinct Review — Averno Noir
Working best when it leans into its 80's cop movie aesthetics, The Precinct can be exciting and unique, but at times feels unfinished.
9 Kings Early Access Review
9 Kings is an excellent roguelike that feels ready to ship.
Blades of Fire Review — Warsmith
Blades of Fire started slow, but quickly won me over with its unique take on Soulslike mechanics.
RoadCraft Review — Offroad
RoadCraft pays a lot of attention to detail, but that focus on realism can be broken by the game's bugs.
Revenge of the Savage Planet Review — Nu Grob 2!!!
Revenge of the Savage Planet is certainly my most unexpected gem of the year so far.
Captain Blood Review — Nostalgia for Nothing
Captain Blood is nostalgic... perhaps to a fault!
Blacksmith Master Early Access Review
Blacksmith Master is a great tycoon game, which could use a bit of work on the mid to late game.
Omega Crafter Review — Code Monkey Hero
Omega Crafter is full of creativity and potential, but unfortunately falls short on delivering many of the mechanics players have come to expect from the genre.
Spirit of the North 2 Review — Dedicated Yarp Button
Spirit of the North 2 feels incredibly magical. It is a game where you will get lost in a world that feels very real.
Empyreal Review — Dangerous Cartography
Empyreal takes an interesting approach to RPGs, but can make Dark Souls look forgiving.
Creature Keeper Review — Fighting Monsters (With Occasional Help)
Creature Keeper is interesting but fails to make its creatures feel worth keeping.
RailGods of Hysterra Early Access Review
RailGods of Hysterra is interesting but has a lot of work to be done before it can be called finished.
Deck of Haunts Review — A Monster House Missing Some Monsters
Deck of Haunts has a solid foundation but fails to deliver upon its own promise.
