Review – Tactical Breach Wizards
Can a tactics game work with the player to streamline the user experience and eliminate a lot of the frustrations of the genre? No more blindsiding players to create artificial challenge. No more 95 percentile shots that result in misses. In their place, straightforward level and character design that can be read at a glance so that a plan of…

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 – Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition
New games on old consoles will probably always be exciting to me. Old consoles all have their unique strengths and weaknesses, and seeing developers navigate them is interesting. I wish the big, veteran publishers would get in on it. New Nintendo games on old Nintendo consoles? Gimme. Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition is interesting to me now that it’s actually on…

Review – Empires of the Undergrowth
Does every kid have a period of ant appreciation? I never had an ant farm, but I did once have other ant-related ambitions. I wanted to find a way to grow ants to the size of cows and have a petting zoo. Just an incredible example of childhood delusions. Like, clearly, the only reason we don’t have giant ant petting…

Review – Burggeist
If you’re sitting there thinking, “what the hell is Burggeist,” you’re most certainly not alone. It’s clearly flown under the radar of just about everyone: it has less than 60 reviews on Steam as of now, the solo developer has under 300 followers on X, and it doesn’t even exist on OpenCritic. I’m here now to tell you why that…

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.
