Five Laps at Freddy’s: Demo Review

The demo for the racing spin-off, Five Laps at Freddy’s, was released as part of the Five Nights at Freddy’s 10-year anniversary back in August of 2024.  While I have watched other people play it, I didn’t get around to playing it myself until roughly 1.5 years later because of my recent delve into PC…

Light Dude: Demo Review

We were recently contacted by the solo developer of Dergham Games about his upcoming game, Light Dude, a “skill-based action game” where the “level hides when you move”.  I recently played the demo for myself, which contains 9 levels and a boss fight.  These levels teach you the basics of the game, and the concept…

Sony Likely Won’t Have a PC Launcher (Thankfully)

Between Sony’s decision to rebrand PlayStation Network (PSN) into, uh, something else later this year and the statements its been making regarding PC as a platform, there hasn’t been a lot for fans to celebrate this year. One thing that likely will be nice, though, is that Sony doesn’t appear to be interested in making…

Bruma: Demo Review

Bruma (Spanish for haze) is a lovely platformer with a unique art style about a cat named Luna who must seek out an old lady’s lost memories.  According to the game’s Steam page and Kickstarter, you will explore an abandoned city submerged in a mysterious mist, where you can use traps or stealth to deal…

Epic CEO Calls Out Steam…Again

Okay, so this isn’t important news, but I thought it was kind of funny, so here we are. Steam has been around for a very long time now, and it’s pretty much been the king of video game distribution on PC for most of that time. It’s not perfect, but it is, even to this…

The GabeCube is is Real!

This isn’t exactly news anymore, but I wanted to talk about Valve’s surprise announcement last week. I mean it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise since Valve already has the Steam Deck and its VR device, and it already tried the Steam Machine thing once before. Yet, this time it feels different. This time Valve…

Steam Reaches New Record for Concurrent Players

It seems that Steam only continues to grow as the years wear on rather than diminish as so many other platforms do. It’s doing so regardless of growing amounts of competition from the likes of Epic Games Store and the various publisher-centric services. It’s quite increible how much staying power Valve’s platform has, being strong…

Going from ‘Heck Yes!’ to ‘No Thanks’

With all the sales going on lately on PSN and Steam, I’ve been browsing around on them pretty frequently looking for something interesting to snap up. I was thinking of trying Conscript, but I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to sanp it up at full price and so kept looking. That’s when I found…

I’m Glad to See Demos Making a Comeback

With games getting ever more expensive and often in new and “exciting” ways, having the chance to try before you buy is extremely valuable. I needn’t list off the merits to you, as there’s really only one that matters: getting to see if the game is actually for you or not. Some games sound great…

Palworld Takes #2 Spot For Concurrent Players on Steam

I would seem that Palworld is officially a hit. Not only has he game, which is still in early access, already sold over 5 million units, but it has apparantly taken the all-time number two spot for concurrent players. As of this writing, Palworld hit an all-time high of 1,121,226 simultaneous playes as reported by…
