Game Reviews
Dark Envoy Review — A shadow of what it could have been
Some interesting progression and game-design choices are hidden behind awful dialogue, stiff animation, and boring combat. This leaves Dark Envoy a few pieces short of a puzzle.
Slay the Princess Review — It’s in the title
Slay the Princess is an unexpected hit for me, telling a deep and emotional story with a massive branching path system.
Hellboy Web of Wyrd Review — Giving the Underworld an uppercut
Hellboy Web of Wyrd fully delivers on the identity of the Hellboy comics, with a unique and fun gameplay system that's held back by a few hiccups.
Wizard with a Gun Review — A magical Devolver revolver
Wizard with a Gun feels like Don't Starve Together—with a much less punishing approach and more wizards with guns.

ENDLESS Dungeon takes the familiar ENDLESS franchise and sends it to brand new territory with a clever mixture of roguelike and tower defense gameplay.

Project Planet: Earth Vs Humanity is a fun enough party game, however it doesn't live up to the strategic depth you might imagine from the premise.
