The Last Cube is a deceptively simple looking puzzle game where you play as one of the most unassuming characters ever. A cube. Silly though it may feel to play as a basic geometrical shape, this game actually had some decent puzzles that made me think. At the same time, the demo’s 4.5 levels could…

Conquistadorio: Demo Review
Conquistadorio is a puzzle game about a retired conqueror who became a hermit. And I suppose he’s become about as reclusive as one can get, as the demo opens with his coffin being unearthed by some rather large bugs! Yikes! I was drawn to this game mainly due to the interesting art style, which is…
Viewfinder is One Terrific, Trippy Trip
In my post about Keeper, I made mention of my 2026 resolution to play new games on Sundays. This intention actually goes back to last summer, when I resolved to start clearing out my backlog, at least a little. With a glut of too many games to play over the holidays, I returned to this…
Cozy Grove is Like Animal Crossing with a Plot
Cozy Grove is, to put it simply, kind of like Animal Crossing, but with a greater emphasis on story. You play as a Spirit Scout and must help out the ghostly bears that inhabit the island by completing various fetch quests for them. Along the way, you’ll feed your sentient campfire Flamey with logs to…
Herdling is the Best Money I’ve Spent on a Game in a Long Time
Released earlier this year, Herdling, from Okomotive, is an adventure game unlike any other. In it, players take the reigns as young shepherd who finds and guides herd of “calicorns” — large, furry, sheep-like beasts – from the lowlands to the highlands, and beyond. The lone shepherd’s journey begins in a city with a magic…
Unravel 2’s Smooth Gameplay is Unravelled by a Weak Story
The original Unravel was a sweet and unique platformer where you play as a little creature named Yarny (made from yarn, as the name suggests) who can solve puzzles and traverse photo-realistic environments (spanning natural Swedish landscapes to industrial locations) using yarn. You can swing from yarn, make bridges with yarn, and even make trampolines…
Spooktober 2025: Blue Prince’s (E)state of Madness
Have you ever visited or heard about the Winchester Mystery House? Located in northern California, it’s a massive Victorian home that was built and built onto over the course of more than three decades, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Its owner was Sarah Winchester, heir to the famed Winchester arms fortune. What…
Q Remastered: Demo Review
Q Remastered is a unique puzzle game that allows you to draw various shapes that fall to the ground due to the forces of gravity. Although it seems like there’s very little you can do with such a feature, this brief demo of 10 stages had an interesting variety of puzzles to solve. At first,…
Barely Scratching the Surface of Undertale Easter Eggs
Undertale was groundbreaking in its time. A game that broke the mold, where you had the potential to spare every enemy instead of fighting them. Filled with lovable characters that you may or may not have chosen to massacre depending on the route you were taking, this game also boasted a jarring mix of quirky…
Sneaky Secret Anomalous Rubber Duckies
Today’s Easter eggs cover multiple games, but a singular topic. Ironically, said topic could even lay eggs. Because I’m talking about ducks. Or more specifically, rubber ducks (okay, okay, so I suppose those can’t lay eggs…). These Duck of Indeed-approved bath toys are cute and silly and can actually be found in a handful of…
