I can't get Fish Sticks out of my head. Not the food, but the stray cat with a squished face and stubby legs that I wrangled into my shack in Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s new roguelite strategy game, Mewgenics. The shop, the pub, the dentist; no matter where I go, I…
I was, like so many of my 1990s-born peers, a huge Sims girlie. I spent hundreds of hours as a teen and young adult making people I knew, characters from shows I was obsessing over, or original characters I wanted to experiment with, and diligently following their life paths and…
Post Void is a masterpiece of compulsive motion and hypnotic, irresistible sounds. It does something to my brain that I’ve never experienced before.
A Monster's Expedition is a very well crafted, chill puzzle game that will make you feel very clever indeed.
There is a lot happening in Star Renegades. For a seemingly small game it throws an absurd amount of idea clay into the RPG kiln.
A tough but super stylish investigate 'em up that'll have you dancing all the way to the murder trial. Probably through some blood from a ritual massacre.
The pacing makes this one a very slow burn, but Tell Me Why is a good entry into Dontnod's library of stories about families and sad magic.
I think I’ll need another year of playing it to work out exactly what I think of it. But that’s another way of saying I want to play it for a year, so it must be pretty good.
If I have to fight through listless combat, buggy UI, and an onslaught of juvenile gags to see one of the many endings, I’d rather leave the snowfields of Colorado behind. To hell with the consequences.
No Straight Roads feels like a less good version of Sayonara Wild Hearts, and if you want a rhythm action game I can’t really recommend the former over the latter.
Spiritfarer's cosy management is a thousand acts of kindness, beautifully done. It will make you sad, but it even does that in a kind way.
This moody action RPG is deeply inspired by Dark Souls and offers plenty of interesting ideas, but they struggle to outweigh its flaws.
This is a good Total War game.
This shooty roguelike is delightfully weird, but its best characters are locked behind hours of gruel
Much like crabs themselves, I am tremendously glad this game exists, but it’s something I’d rather appreciate at a distance.
The result, for me, was anxiety. A low background hum of “did I miss something”, combined with the high notes of being unable to find the next new area. It was enough to shade my entire experience with Carrion, turning a pleasant enough Metroidvania with a one-of-a-kind protagonist into something I felt like I was struggling to escape from.
Maid Of Sker is more frightening when it’s not trying to scare you.
