The Trine games are a side-scrolling fantasy series that follows three playable characters, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief, each of which have unique abilities. Amadeus can levitate and conjure items, making him good for traversing the environment. Pointius is better for fighting, with his sword, hammer, and shield. And Zoya…

Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC
The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice. Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here. I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…
The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer
The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing! Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…
Boxville: Demo Review
Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city. No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings. I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
Drowning: Demo Review
Drowning is a short game about a teenage boy struggling with depression. The demo lasts about 15 minutes, and the entire time is spent walking along a path in the forest while text appears. I know the term “walking simulator” can be overused, but there are few games that really illustrate the nickname better than…
FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night is Chaotic Fun
FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night is a different sort of Five Nights at Freddy’s game where you can choose to survive against a whopping total of 50 threats from across the first 6 games. Each of these can be set to a max level of 20 for the greatest challenge. Although UCN can initially look overwhelming…
Pilo and the Holobook: Demo Review
Pilo and the Holobook is a casual adventure game where you catalog the universe by scanning everything you see into the Holobook and creating stickers of your finds. The graphics are colorful and cartoonish, the characters seem charming, and the gameplay is…lacking. The demo contains the game’s intro and one world, Vast Desert, and took…
Favorite Reveals from Summer Game Fest and More, 2025
It’s not lost on me that, with the Internet being the permanent home of game leaks and rumors, shows like Summer Games Fest, the State of Play, and the Xbox Showcase, don’t pack as much punch as they used too (if they ever really did). Still, even if nothing under the sun is exactly new…
Europa: Demo Review
Not to be mistaken for Youropa, the correctly spelled Europa follows an android named Zee on an adventure on one of Jupiter’s moons. It seems mankind relocated here, but aside from some old ruins, no sign of them remains. So what happened? Perhaps the game will answer the questions posed by the demo…
FNAF: Help Wanted 2: Ranking All Stages by Difficulty – Part 2
I’ve already discussed the less demanding mini-games of FNAF: Help Wanted 2, so today, I’ll be ranking the absolute worst, most stressful levels of the game! Whether we’re having to be meticulous within a time limit or fending off aggressive animatronics (or plushies) in more classic FNAF gameplay, these are the levels that probably shaved…
