Raji: An Ancient Epic is one of those intriguing looking games I had my eye on for a while. Set in ancient India and based on Hindu mythology, the game follows Raji’s adventure to rescue her little brother Golu, who was kidnapped by demons. The unique setting and theme of the game really helps it…

The Almost Gone: Demo Review
In recent years, I’ve grown rather fond of casual puzzle games that don’t require quick thinking and reflexes. One such game for which I decided to try the demo was The Almost Gone, during which you explore the house of a broken family, each room serving as a diorama that hides items and clues to…
When the Past Was Around: A Tale of Love and Loss
A while back, I reviewed the demo for a casual puzzle game called When the Past Was Around, which tells the story of Eda and a man known simply as the Owl. The story is told without any words and reveals the tragic twist right from the start, though it is the way in which…
Bastion: Surviving in a World Shattered By the Calamity
Bastion follows the story of Kid, who is working to restore the Bastion after the Calamity, an event that destroyed much of the world. This is one of an abundant number of critically-acclaimed games that I finally got around to playing years after its release. When playing these sorts of games, there’s always the danger…

A few months ago, I reviewed the demo for Trine 2, a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer where you play as three unique characters, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief. Recently, I had the pleasure of playing the demo for the much more recent Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince.

Along the way, you encounter new people to recruit to your team, gather supplies, and make tough decisions that can have serious consequences. And once a team member dies,…
Hoa: A Beautiful and Relaxing Platformer
Hoa (pronounced “hwa”) is Vietnamese for “flower” and also the name of a lovely indie game and said game’s titular character, a tiny fairy-like creature the size of a bug. This relaxing game features stunning hand-painted artwork, a beautiful soundtrack, and a peaceful atmosphere where the focus is solely on platforming and minor puzzling. This…
Silly Scoundrels: Dr. Loboto
The Duck’s final silly scoundrel is none other than the unlicensed dentist and amateur brain surgeon from Psychonauts, Dr. Caligosto Loboto, who also just so happens to be featured in the above banner image. This unhinged fellow may have been a former patient of Thorney Towers Home for the Disturbed, a long-since abandoned insane asylum…
Songbird Symphony: Demo Review
My newest demo review covers an adorable little game called Songbird Symphony, in which an orphan chick named Birb sets out to find where he came from. This game is a platformer with musical elements, and what it lacks in difficulty, it makes up for in charm!
