Be still, my beating heart. I am INSANELY excited for Enter the Gungeon 2! In case you missed the news during last week’s Switch 2 event, check out the news from Devolver Digital! Austin, Texas (April 2, 2025) — Dodge Roll, duck, dip, dive and Devolver Digital have revealed that Enter the Gungeon 2 is in active development for Nintendo Switch 2 and PC and I think I just shit my pants: https:...[Read More]
Devolver Digital’s STARSEEKER Will Expand The Astroneer Universe to Infinity and Beyond
In case you missed the Switch 2 Announcement a few days ago, check out the news from the Devolver Digital crew! Austin, Texas (April 2, 2025) — Bold space explorers System Era Softworks and inept ground controllers Devolver Digital have announced STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions – a new game set within the 11m+ player-strong Astroneer universe, launching in 2026 across Nintendo Switch 2, Xb...[Read More]
Neva Review
Like the changing seasons it is framed by, Neva is equal parts beautiful, cyclical, and unpredictable. Alba, the sole protagonist exists as the lonely human in a world otherwise teeming with life and color. The only other humanoid-like beings are the inky black enemies that wear white masks for faces. Their dark, murky presence and violent nature is a stark contrast to the dense foliage and vibran...[Read More]
The Plucky Squire Review
Shortly into my adventure with Jot in The Plucky Squire, I was tasked by the wizard Moonbeard to retrieve some wax from local honeybee Benny Bee to create more records to DJ with. As if that sentence wasn’t already claustrophobic in whimsy, it turns out a honey badger was snout-deep in Benny’s stock. A cutscene played–Jot ripped the sleeves off his tunic, muscles bulging. “...[Read More]
The Crush House set to crush it on Steam today
I have no idea what to make of this game. We’ll just have to review it. Anyway, enjoy the official details below and the wacky-ass trailer. Acclaimed video game developers Nerial (Reigns) and TV owners Devolver Digital are rolling back the years for the long-awaited launch of 1999’s hottest reality TV show, The Crush House. Available now on PC via Steam for $16.99, The Crush House casts pla...[Read More]
Pepper Grinder Review (PS5)
There’s grace in not wearing out your welcome. And I know few platformers that grow more enjoyable the longer they stretch on. Variety is the spice of life and Pepper Grinder mimics the best kind of platformers capable of diverse levels, challenges, and visuals… all without becoming too much. But I admit that in its haste, Pepper Grinder is almost over before it makes the most of any p...[Read More]
Anger Foot (PC) Review
A short while ago, I was lucky to preview Anger Foot’s first few levels to get a taste of its foot-fueled mayhem. In my initial preview (which I recommend that you read), I mentioned that we would be treated to “a shitstorm of kicking, shooting, and everything in between.” Usually, shitstorm is equated to something negative, like a dumpster fire of catastrophic proportions where the shit has hit t...[Read More]
Pepper Grinder Review (PC)
Back in 2017, I watched YouTuber videogamedunkey’s “The Good Year” where he detailed his hopes for game releases that were to take place that year. His video contained an incredibly high amount of optimism for AAA titles like Breath of the Wild as well as indie “masterpieces for your wallet” like Hollow Knight. Towards the end of the video, he mentions a few of upcoming indies he saw and played at...[Read More]
Phantom Abyss Review (PC)
The early smartphone days of gaming were glorious. Phone games were simpler, far less addled with advertisements, and often killers of battery life. These days, battery life is supposedly better, but mobile games are a smidgen more complicated. If you watch the ridiculous advertisements in-between TikToks, they’re probably more off-the-wall, too. One early game I remember fondly was Temple Run. It...[Read More]
The Talos Principle II Review
Eventually I will return to The Witness. The 2016 all-encompassing puzzle game consumed me for a couple weeks upon release. I think it was that moment I realized line puzzles existed within the environment. I had climbed a ladder and was overlooking the bay of the introductory area hours after wrapping it up and noticed a near-perfect circle formed by pieces of scenery. “Wait…” I...[Read More]
Wizard With a Gun Review
Wizard With a Gun‘s five-minute gameplay loop is a double-edged sword. Its quick runtime belies the complex mechanics that are front-loaded in the game’s opening hours. But it often can strip out the necessity for planning and the sensation of dread that comes with the looming threat of the world ending. As a Gunmancer, players are tasked with finding precious gears to install in the C...[Read More]
Bleak Sword DX Review
What drew me to more8Bit’s Bleak Sword DX was part style and part nostalgia. The style part was restricting players to a tiny map where they chaotically take on enemies and quickly progress. Getting quick, brief experiences pushed towards immediate progression is a style of game I enjoy. It means there isn’t much of a commitment to the gameplay, and the rewards are much faster when you consistent...[Read More]
