Energy Cycle Edge Review
In our Energy Cycle Edge review, we see if Sometimes You is able to evolve the game with this sequel or is it constrained by the same issues
November 8, 2021 | 11:00 EST
Energy Cycle Review
I ought to preface this by saying I'm glad Sometimes You has found this comfortable avenue to continue making games. That doesn't mean I'll find all of their games to be successes either. Sprucing up Energy Cycle for next-gen only reveals inherent flaws that even a modest price point (and free upgrade) can't disregard. When a minimalist puzzle game mismanages its two fundamental pillars to such an extent, it's simply not worth your time.

Jett: The Far Shore Review
Jett: The Far Shore is the first release from indie studio Superbrothers since Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP in 2011. They've lost none of their flair for evocative narrative beats but the gameplay becomes repetitive after the first few hours. Even their incredible world design and poetic dialogue can't save this space exploration story from mediocrity.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Review
Whether it falls back to the unfortunately-named publisher, GameMill Entertainment, pushing developer duo Ludosity & Fair Play Labs or contractual expectations by Nickelodeon, this game was jettisoned into 2021 holiday window. Even though this review envelopes a healthy share of criticisms, there's also something to be said about the fun buried deep beneath.

Salt And Sacrifice Is Trying Out New Flavors
Salt and Sanctuary was a pretty good Metroidvania, all things considered. Will follow-up Salt and Sacrifice live up to its legend? Find out in our preview.
October 18, 2021 | 09:41 EDT
The Good Life Review
The Good Life is a celebration of all things SWERY for better and for worse. There are some persistent annoyances for sure, but any grievances are quickly overshadowed by the rural charm that the game carries in spades.
October 14, 2021 | 04:19 EDT
Insurgency: Sandstorm Review
Finding a balance between hardcore, tactical combat and player accessibility is no easy task with first-person shooters, but New World Interactive found a way. It's not without modest gripes, such as some lackluster modes and enemy AI, which prevent Insurgency: Sandstorm from earning a pristine Medal of Honor, but its merits make it an easy shoe-in for a Silver Star.
October 13, 2021 | 11:30 EDT
Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan Review
Everyone needs someone to vent and talk to from time to time. Rainbow Billy: The Curse Of The Leviathan is full of such folks just waiting for you to befriend them and brighten the world.

Dap Review
The last place we want to see adorable creatures is in horrifying situations. This is what is happening to the Dap in Dap and you'll want to guide them out of the horror as quick as you can.

The Last Friend Review
Dog's are loyal and caring companions that are so full of potential. Apparently, this includes the ability to operate sophisticated turrets. Befriend all the dogs and fight alongside them in The Last Friend.

UnMetal Review
UnMetal is a comedic stealth-action game that parodies the original Metal Gear titles on NES and MSX but takes itself far less seriously.
September 27, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
SkateBIRD Review
SkateBIRD is a skateboarding indie game from Glass Bottom Games that asks the real questions of life. What would happen if a bird found a tech deck and then watch an old Bones Brigade video?
September 24, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Timothy's Night Review
You'd think a new title and expanded features would inspire more critiquing on the original core design as well; instead, I'm really just experiencing the new-gen version of Timothy vs. the Aliens. Through that lens, Timothy's Night is a one-trick pony with a nasty limp.
September 21, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
The Repairing Mantis Review
The Repairing Mantis is a first-person indie horror title about a praying mantis that's trying to repair a bridge and the squirrels that she meets on the way.
September 17, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Lake Review
The term "Zen game" gets bandied around for many indie games. That may be apropos for Lake too, but chill games still need to be engaging

Gamedec Review
Gamedec - Cyberpunk 2077 meets Disco Elysium - is far more unique than that mashup makes it sound. If you want to know why, here is our review:
September 16, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
TOEM Review
Taking pictures is a great way to unwind and make memories. Something We Made took that and created a game out of it called TOEM where it's just your curiosity and a trust camera.

Turbo Overkill Lives Up to Its Ridiculous Name
Turbo Overkill is an upcoming first-person shooter set in a cyberpunk world, where players sling guns and rev chainsaw legs to defeat a cybernetic army.

The Artful Escape Review
Beethoven & Dinosaur's first album isn't without sizable warts, but the infectious passion is felt through each track.
September 8, 2021 | 12:30 EDT
Encased Review
It's not everyday that someone would try to contain a post-apocalyptic world, but that's what Dark Crystal Games has done. They've trapped a dangerous and anomalous world Encased and it's up to you to learn its secrets.
September 6, 2021 | 08:00 EDT
Kitaria Fables Review
Beneath its slightly janky exterior, Kitaria Fables is a decent farming life sim which is unfortunately held back by its lacklustre RPG trappings.
September 3, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Townscaper Review
Townscaper is less of a game, more of a tool to simply play around with. It has no goal either, but that is part of its almost hypnotic charm at being an enjoyable experience that allows us to simply play around as we see fit.
August 30, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Mecha Knights: Nightmare Review
To pilot a giant robot would be pretty sweet if only to take it for a joyride. But right now you've got an important mission: To jump into Mecha Knights: Nightmare and pilot a robot to fight horrifying monsters.
August 30, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Rustler Review
Sometimes it's fun to just pick up a controller and jump in to a chaotic adventure. This can also include jumping into the past as with Rustler, a ye olde open-world crime game with lots of horses to steal.
August 30, 2021 | 09:00 EDT
Tormented Souls Review
Tormented Souls is a very clumsy and corny survival horror game that plays like a love letter to genre giants.
August 27, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Spookware Episode 1 Review

Greak: Memories Of Azur Review
A lot of games revolve around the bonds between siblings and Greak: Memories Of Azur makes gameplay out of it. Guide the siblings Greak, Adara and Raydel out of danger and use their different abilities to overcome the dangers ahead.

Foreclosed Review
We take a look at Foreclosed, a new cyberpunk shooter pledging to mix Deus Ex and Max Payne. Can it fulfil such a lofty promise?

Night Book Review
Regardless of my respect for Wales and developer Good Gate Media making this under rough circumstances, the game proper still feels incomplete.
August 11, 2021 | 11:30 EDT
Vomitoreum Review
Vomitoreum is an incredibly unique Doom total conversion that pushes the GZDoom engine well beyond what you would think is possible.
August 11, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
City of Gangsters Review
City of Gangsters is strategy mafia management game that excels with its character interaction and trading mechanics, and is just as much fun as the giants of the strategy genre.
August 9, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
Glyph Review
Glyph is a 3D platformer that offers players a unique gameplay experience set in a barren wasteland. What the game lacks in charm, it makes up for in satisfying mechanics.
August 9, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Toodee and Topdee Review
The way a game's visuals are angled is very important in determining how a game feels and plays. So, what if two angles are combined and switching between them becomes the gameplay? Meet the duo Toodee and Topdee who must master their different perspectives to save the universe!
August 3, 2021 | 09:00 EDT
Lost At Sea Review
Studio Fizbin's first foray into the first-person narrative adventure sub-genre is their most uncreative work thus far.
July 30, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Eldest Souls Review
Eldest Souls is a challenging boss-rush title set in a beautiful pixel-art world. It may not offer the most dynamic combat or gameplay mechanics, but it makes up for that with intense and creative boss battles.
July 30, 2021 | 10:00 EDT

Chernobylite Review
Chernobylite is nearly impossible to put in a specific genre and it feels generally unpolished, but the sheer amount of fun and excitement that it provides makes the game more than worth playing.
July 29, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Unbound: Worlds Apart Review
Thinking with portals has gotten to a level beyond using them to jump to different worlds. This time, it's using them to have the properties of other worlds affect your world in Unbound: Worlds Apart.

Streets of Rage 4 - Mr. X Nightmare Review
Streets of Rage 4 was incredible. The one thing that was missing was more of it. Luckily, the developers noticed and brought us the Mr. X Nightmare.
July 28, 2021 | 10:00 EDT
Walden, a game Review
From its boring gameplay loop to design decisions implicitly contradicting Thoreau's greater messages, USC Games has crafted an ill-conceived adaptation.
July 19, 2021 | 01:00 EDT
Mini Motorways Review
Mini Motorways is an enjoyable and often beautiful puzzler but the lack of long term replayability makes it harder to recommend over its already excellent predecessor.
July 19, 2021 | 11:05 EDT
Pine Creek Review
Pine Creek’s world building, immersive storytelling, and use of modern gameplay conventions, help the game stand out as one of the best indiependent Game Boy games available today.
July 16, 2021 | 12:00 EDT
Raptor Boyfriend Review
Raptor Boyfriend is a charming visual novel which strikes the perfect balance between comedy and cosiness.
July 15, 2021 | 11:00 EDT
Warrior Boy Review
From its generic title to its abysmally unbalanced combat, TADVGames' freshmen effort exists as an unkempt hitchhiker in my memory. It's sad when Warrior Boy's most notable gem is that I managed to complete it.
July 12, 2021 | 10:30 EDT
The Sky Is Calling In Black Skylands!
Airships have become a accepted form of air travel from convenient flight to sky piracy. However, many times this is just a fun novelty or gimmick to enjoy. If you want your own airship and sky-high sea to explore, jump into Black Skylands.

Looking At The Casing of Encased
Humans are naturally curious and this drives us to explore and discover. So, if a huge dome with its own environment appeared out of nowhere, we'd probably want to investigate it. Take the role of such an investigator who goes into Encased with no chance of coming out.

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus Review
The original Doki Doki Literature Club is a phenomenal horror title, but loses a lot of the elements that made it so impressive on its translation to consoles. Play the original instead.
