Merchants of Rosewall Preview
Last week, Digitalchumps was privy to a preview of Big Blue Sky Games’ upcoming 2024 title, Merchants of Rosewall. While the game was still being worked on, game director Kevin Hovdestad gave us the skinny and scoop of this upcoming fantasy shop game that gave off some wonderful Stardew Valley vibes. The idea of the game, as it was previewed to us, was that you build, run, and grow a fantasy shop ...[Read More]
Dragon Quest Builders Review (PC)
Sometimes when life is feeding you lemons and pushing you to beg for a positive moment, that moment comes in the form of a game. And that gaming reprieve came in the form of blocks, dragons, and quests. Square Enix’s oddly satisfying answer to Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, is back! And it’s just as I remember it from 2016 – fun, satisfying, and endless. The last time I reviewed Dragon Quest Bu...[Read More]
Mineko’s Night Market Review (PC)
For years now, I have discussed my dissatisfaction with games driven by crafting. I have held the opinion that most of the time crafting is just filler for a lack of story, or maybe a severe lack of ideas. It never seems fruitful, nor is it generally fun to craft items in a game. I have held this belief for over a decade. And now? Well, shoot, now I have found something that has changed my take on...[Read More]
Hogwarts Legacy Review
We are going on week two of reviewing Hogwarts Legacy here at Digitalchumps. It has been quite an adventure. Portkey Games has been one of the few developers out there that have fully understood what the possibilities could be with this franchise. Instead of presenting some half-baked Wii game that goes along with the Harry Potter films, the good folks at Portkey Games decided that maybe they shou...[Read More]
Tortuga: A Pirate’s Tale Review
I’m not a huge fan of simulators, as my personality needs to be engaged with stories and driven by content. Building up a life, creating environments, and maintaining a life balance in a game are just not my cup of tea. This is why I don’t play the sims because it’s a bit too much responsibility when I’m living a life that already contains too much. I don’t want to do chores when I should be relax...[Read More]

The holiday break has arrived here at Digitalchumps and I’m on the hunt for a fun, mindless game that is as organized as it is entertaining. Last week, we were contacted by publisher NetEase Games about checking out a new game from developer Team Miaozi called Cygnus Enterprises, a game that might be perfect for a holiday season that needs a hefty amount of relaxation. The game is an isometric act...[Read More]

Shop Titans
Something tells me I’ll be playing this on and off for a while. Shop Titans is an interesting game, free-to-play on iOS, as well as available on Steam. This review will cover the steam version of the game and I can assure you that it’s identical to the iOS version. The big difference between the two is that there is more real estate to maneuver around when you’re playing on PC, which has its advan...[Read More]
PixARK (Early Access Impressions)
Oh, good gravy. I can see this game taking away the TROVE and Minecraft folks and putting them in an adventure that is going to last a long time. PixARK takes the very best of the crafting/building genre and adds in a few dangers for players to immerse themselves into, as well as some RPG elements to keep the experience going. It’s in early access right now, so this isn’t a review, but I will tell...[Read More]

Gumballs & Dungeons
Since owning my iPhone 7 (begrudgingly), I have yet to find a game that hooks me and has me thinking about it outside of the usual suspects of Angry Birds and such. I have had brief stints of entertainment when I’m a casual gamer, but nothing that really screams, “This is the reason why you own an iOS device!” Color me surprised when I actually starting digging the simple complexity of Gumballs &#...[Read More]
