Review – Rogue Light Deck Builder
Listen, I have good news. Rogue Light Deck Builder isn't a roguelite deck-builder. But if you're into roguelite deck-builders, that's totally okay, it's just a lot of people aren't because the genre is kind of packed these days. But that's moot, because Rogue Light Deck Builder isn't a roguelite deck-builder, it's a game where you build a deck and there's…

Review – Timberborn
It's finally here! The 1.0 release of the best survival city-builder to date. Whoops! I think I just ruined the entire review. Well, you should read it anyway, because it's full of better words than this description has.

Review – Crabmeat
Horror? Yeah, scary stuff. But check out this game about being the sole crewmate of a crabbing boat. Crabmeat! You just boat around the ocean, dropping crab traps and sorting your haul. Just watch out for the big ones.

Nightdive’s SiN: Reloaded is finally, actually coming this year, probably
Holy crap. Do you remember SiN: Reloaded? Nightdive’s intended remaster of 1998’s first-person shooter, SiN? It hasn’t even been mentioned in a really long time. It was announced back in 2020, and they intended to release it later that year, but it didn’t happen. Well, it’s happening now. As part of The MIX + Kinda Funny Spring Game Showcase, they…

Review – KuruKuru MaruMaru
Did I just dream it? I guess not. KuruKuru MaruMaru is a real game, it's just maybe an unexpected one. Looking at the art style, would you believe it's a game about getting your driver's license? Too bad it's only in Japanese.

The Top Five Movie-est Movies Ever Videogame’d
Do you remember Movies? Y’know, “Movies”? Capital “M” Movies? Cinema? The confluence of “high art” and “low art” that our collective culture once agreed was the most important form of entertainment in the world? Back in the 1940s, before TVs were everywhere, the majority of Americans saw up to two movies a week in the theater. These days, movies have…

Review – The Goonies (Famicom)
If you’re someone who’s really into the NES but knows nothing about the Famicom (which is understandable, I’m not hating), you might wonder why there’s a The Goonies 2, but not a The Goonies 1. And you may start thinking it’s positioning itself as a narrative sequel to the classic 1985 film. Well, that thinking is sort of right but…

70’s Robot Anime: Geppy-X is getting localized with impressive remaster
70's Robot Anime: Geppy X was an interesting PS1 experiment from the '90s that attempts to evoke the experience of '70s mecha anime cartoons while having you play the big fight parts. It's rad, but only came out in Japan. Guess what! It's getting remastered and localized!
