I tend to find platformers and beat-em-up games to be a bit too twitchy for my taste. However, with the right gameplay style or setting it could still be fun to play. While I know little about FictionSphere, it does have the makings of something…

Brawlers are a gaming genre that holds a strange mix of love and hate for me. I haven’t been much into action games lately, but once in a while a title comes along that makes me look at it. No Mercy: For Lorne Hope does…

Being trans myself, it’s no surprise I enjoy a good game that features transgender themes. That said, not all of them have to be serious takes on the concept. Sometimes you just want a fun experience that is full of humor but still reverent towards…

H.P. Lovecraft and his dark dales of the insane and macabre have fascinated me for years. It should go without saying that I’d hungrily gobble up any game inspired by these stories. In the case of Rise of the Elders: Cthulhu, it’s certainly one to…

Practically everybody has heard of the famous ocean liner Titanic. It sank at the bottom of the northern Atlantic after getting struck by an iceberg in 1912. This event has been chronicled in pretty much every form of media since. It has captured the imaginations…

I enjoy playing RPGs of all types, but the turn-based Japanese style has always been my favorite. I also look for quality games with a unique look to their own. For these reasons, I took a close look at 8 Doors. I will say that…

It’s not unheard of to see an adventure game try a different art style. The genre has changed many times over the decades, after all. However, few have tried to pull off a game using cut-out paintings as the backdrop. Until Four Last Things, that…

There aren’t a lot of fun looking edutainment games out there. However, sometimes one comes along that makes you want to look closer at it. With Crescent Loom, it looks like an enjoyable life-creating sim. Even if the base goal only covers an open world…
