I don’t know exactly what I was doing when Superliminal was first released back in 2019 (probably playing and dropping and loving and hating Fallout 76), but I do remember that it quickly gathered some amount of fame for being a very good and very different puzzle game. For a while after, it was wedged…

The Exit 8 Movie is Repetitive in the Best Way
The Exit 8 is an indie horror game where you’re stuck in an endlessly looping subway corridor. While I never actually played it myself, I did watch someone else play it on Youtube, and it was one of the first anomaly games I ever saw (if not THE first). In this genre, you’re usually tasked…
Darwin’s Paradox! — The Full Review
The following post contains spoilers for Darwin’s Paradox! Proceed at your own risk! Early this year, I played through the “Tactical Action Octopus Demo” of Darwin’s Paradox!, a new platformer from ZDT Studio and Konami. In short, I said then that I thoroughly enjoy what it offers. It feels like it’ll be a great addition…
Moolander: Demo Review
Moolander is about an alien in a flying saucer who must explore a hostile planet and replenish your civilization’s milk supply, as all of their technology apparently runs on milk. While I had initially assumed this would just be a goofy game that would make for a good chuckle or two, I was pleasantly surprised…
The Mario Galaxy Movie is a Not so Stellar Sequel
Just a couple years ago, I reviewed Illumination’s first animated Mario movie, the aptly named Super Mario Bros Movie, which was quite a good time indeed. When I heard news of an upcoming Mario Galaxy movie, I was pretty excited. Seeing as the first movie was so well-done, I assumed our mustachioed plumber was in…

Welcome, then, to Shift at Midnight, a new indie title with a retro look and strange appeal that can be played alone or with…
Picking Up the Pieces of Humanity in the Once Human Open Beta
In 2024, NetEase (the folks behind Marvel Rivals, most recently) released on PC from one of its subsidiaries, Starry Studio, Once Human , a F2P post-apocalyptic, action, survival, online multiplayer game. It apparently did well enough there that, earlier this year, it was announced that it’d be coming to consoles, which is when it hit…
Can You Escape the Backrooms? (Because I Couldn’t)
Never let it be said that, although I live comfortably outside the loop, I don’t know what’s going on inside it, especially when it comes to gaming. Now, am I keeping up with every single new trend that surfaces? Eh…probably not. Okay, okay, definitely not. Case in point, this whole “backrooms” phenomenon that’s become a…
A Re-Analysis of Kingdom Hearts 3: Is It as Bad as I Remember?
In recent months, I’ve been replaying every Kingdom Hearts game available to me on the PS4. And eventually, I returned to the controversial third numbered entry in the series after having not played it since its release 7 years ago. Like many others, I was not a fan of this game upon its release, so…
Cato: Buttered Cat: Demo Review
We all know that cats always land on their feet. And buttered toast, well, it always has the unfortunate habit of landing butter-side down. So what would happen if you strapped a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat? Why, you’d get a spinning, flying cat, of course! Cato: Buttered Cat is…
