Review – Two Point Museum
It's back to Two Point County as you're put in charge of yet another institution where money has no business. Can you turn a profit in Two Point Museum? Of course you can, because it's just a matter of finding or stealing some old stuff and putting it on display.

Review – Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter
I've never cleaned anything in my life, so Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter was certainly a learning experience. As it turns out, I'm pretty good at it, as long as you don't count the times I made a mistake and almost undid all of reality. At least there's snacks.

Review – Tales from Off-Peak City Vol. 1
The third-ish game in Cosmo D's body of work pushes forward the pizza-centricity that the series has followed. Placing you at the corner of Yam and July, you work undercover in a pizza joint, making pies and learning the darker secrets behind the neighbourhood and the factory that dominates is skyline.

Preview – ZPF
I love a good nouveau retro release. ZPF is a horizontal shooter by the devs of Tanzer and is published by Mega Cat Studios. It bills itself as a Future Metal Fantasy and comes loaded with more colours than you can count (64 probably). Here's an early look at its demo.

Preview – He Is Coming
Roguelites feel like they make up somewhere around half of the indie and small budget sector these days. Autobattlers are maybe a bit less common. So, by the cover, He Is Coming might not sound that novel, but that doesn't mean there are no cards up its sleeve.

Preview – Promise Mascot Agency
Paradise Killer is an indie gem, and we're currently looking down the barrel of Kaizen Game Works' follow-up, Promise Mascot Agency. It's simultaneously weirder than you're expecting, while also being grounded in a lot of satisfying ways. You'll be seeing the demo during the February 2025 Steam Next Fest.

Review – The Rocky Horror Show Video Game (2024)
Do you have some toast on hand to throw at the screen? It's time to look at the subversive impact that the Rocky Horror Picture Show had, illustrated through a personal anecdote. The best kind of anecdote. Also, if there's time, there may be some words on the recent game.

Review – Keep Driving
I'm still on a quest to find the perfect road trip game. I wouldn't have expected an attempt at the concept from the Post Void devs, but that's exactly what Keep Driving is. Taking inspiration from The Oregon Trail, it's maybe not how I envision my ideal road trip, but it's close.

Review – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is such an unusual influential game. What could have been an attempt at emulating the sport became an insult to physics and one of the most entertaining games at the time. Years later, it's finally received a worthwhile remake and not the travesty that was the last remake.
