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…

Looking Back at Chrono Trigger
A short while ago, I was asked if I’d ever consider doing classic game reviews, like Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube and, heck anything older than PS4/Xbox One. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t been asked since I consider stuff from all those eras pretty well-tread ground. However, everyone’s experiences are, as they say,…
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. …
Atomfall: How Will You Escape a World Gone Awry?
When Rebellion’s Atomfall was first announced in the summer of 2024, comparisons to the Fallout franchise popped up almost immediately. I’ll admit that the similar post-apocalyptic feel had me hooked enough to name Atomfall as one my most anticipated games of this year. The game was released in March and I downloaded it then, but…
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…
Rusty Rabbit: Demo Review
Rusty Rabbit is a Metroidvania about a grumpy old rabbit named Stamp who explores the ruins of Smokestack Mountain in his mech suit, Junkster, in search of even more, well, junk. The demo takes roughly 30-45 minutes to complete, and in that time, you explore two industrial looking areas and meet another group of rust…
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…
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…
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a Nintendo Switch remake of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team where you explore randomly generated dungeons and rescue Pokemon. You are a human who has been transformed into a Pokemon somehow, and the game opens with a personality test that chooses which Pokemon…
