Doomsday Paradise: The Apocalypse Is Here - Time To Find A Date

Doomsday Paradise caught my eye for several reasons, and it wasn’t because it’s a dating simulator. They aren’t typically at the top of my list, what with me being such a stud and all. Ahem. First, the line ‘Will you save the world – or grab a drink

A Shot In The Dark Demo Is As Loaded As Your... Go Figure

More porn!? It should cum (heh) as no surprise that some of the adult titles I’ve covered have been the most popular, and when you can get A Shot in the Dark as a playable demo during the Steam Next Fest, you have to consider whether people want to

Become Top Dog In A Mafia Syndicate In Gomorrah, Out Now

Before closing this post, thinking it’s a reminder about going to the VD clinic, Gomorrah is (however they’re spelling it), in fact, a crime thriller just launched on PC and mobile. From 34BigThings – yes, those behind the excellent Redout 2 – it’s based on the novel of the

Destiny's Sword Early Access: Always Have a Backup Plan

Bless the Securicorps – they’re trying their best, but it’s not good enough. Perhaps the Protectorate have a solution for the concerns faced in Destiny’s Sword Early Access? The people of Cypris (correct spelling) need their help! Cue the Stellara – a group of cadets being thrown immediately into

Tunes From The Exes, Of Bird And Cage Out Now

What does that mean ‘tunes from the exes’? The opener for Of Bird and Cage says it features power metal from artists from ex-Guns N’ Roses. Slash? Duff? Nope: Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. But look at some of the other references, and you’ll see ex-Evanescence and ex-Kamelot, ex-King Diamond, and

Forget The Steam Deck, Get Gamedec For The Nintendo Switch

I recently wrote a cyberpunk list, and in hindsight, Gamedec would be one of those to be added. This is the first time I’ve come across Anshar Studio’s game, originally launched last year on PC, but now it’s heading to the Nintendo Switch. Published by Untold Tales,

Arcade Perfect Relationships In Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers

This is Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers, ‘It is the distant future year 20XX. Arcades and video gaming as a whole are a part of daily life’. What is this utopia? Arcades are part of daily life? Back in 198X (also a game!), that was the case; The Simpsons, TMNT,

What Does The Future Hold For Divination?

I used to dedicate one day a week to cyberpunk news, but these days the deluge of titles has calmed down a bit. While the quantity has dropped, perhaps the quality has improved, as Divination has got me excited. From the ever-prolific Eastasiasoft (do check out their latest Seven Pirates

Missing Calm Bundle Review: How's That Novel?

After obsessing with Who’s Lila? for an unhealthy period, I sought out a few other titles that were perhaps a little similar. Without raising a budget for my research, a quick click on a recommend type banner and the Missing Calm Bundle was soon in my cart. The titles

Ghost On The Shore Review: Gone Rogue

Let me tell you something about Ghost on the Shore that isn’t obvious from the Steam page: it’s a walking simulator. If that disgusts you and you’re about to bail, hold that thought: the pay-off is well worth it, and you’d be a fool not to

Create Your Own Comic Book In Coldage

Coldage is an upcoming adventure game from Roosterlandia. They weren’t a developer I was familiar with, but reading ‘a passion for narrative-driven games’ in their biog has granted them access to my PIN. Immediately I was drawn to the comic book visuals. I’m not a comic book fan,

Not For Broadcast PC Review: Return To Bumley

All the reviews on this site are personal – I write them based on my experience. However, NotGames and tinyBuild’s title resonates with me on an unprecedented scale, putting all the best ingredients into what can only be described as a three-course dessert: comedy, multitasking, and storytelling. I love this.

Shape The Future In NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy

There used to be a weekly report on the latest cyberpunk games, but that’s died down a bit. However, with Cyberpunk 2077 finally getting the love it deserves (granted, it wasn’t just a ‘few’ bugs), it’s time to get on that wagon again with NeuroNet: Mendax Proxy.

Star Wars KOTOR Switch Review: Blast From The Past

I expect you’ve already experienced Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic (KOTOR). Released way back in 2003, BioWare’s RPG resurrected by Asypr is as relevant now as it was then. For those who rely on review scores and skim anything more than 200 words, let me save
