city builder Bloody Hell! V Rising Early Access Is Brilliant! V Rising is one of the best Early Access titles I’ve played this year. There, this article is complete. Maybe you want a little more than that? Sure. But before we begin, we’re going to have to have a quick disclaimer that this write-up is 100% based on
Games Incubator Become A Historical Fixer Upper In Monuments Flipper: Prologue Another simulator is on the horizon, and maybe Monuments Flipper: Prologue isn’t one you’ve even heard of, but it might be a new entry on your wishlist by the end of this post. Games Incubator seems to be churning these sorts of games out by the bucket load,
comedy Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die! We're Getting The Band Back Together A middle-aged teddy bear might insinuate someone from the swinging 60s (though they wouldn’t be middle-aged), but in this case, it’s the real thing in Rock ‘n’ Roll Will Never Die! You play a walkin’, talkin’ teddy bear from the glory days of the hair metal era. Their
dark fantasy Stone The Crows, It's The Thymesia Demo Well, Thymesia is a no-brainer. There haven’t been that many demos I’ve played of late where I immediately wanted to play the entire game as much as I did with OverBorder Studio’s title. Hipster Café was another one of those games, and I highly recommend it. In
demo The Perfect Pencil Is Deeper Than You May Think The Perfect Pencil, for me, is an old school HB. Slightly blunt, and it needs to have a few nibble marks (not mine) on the end. If it has those attributes, it’s pretty perfect. That’s not what this demo is literally about, of course, but it’s a
88 Polygons Super Trunko Go - Elephants Never... What Was It? Have you ever filled in a contact form on a website and found that nobody gets back to you? Irritating, isn’t it. I’ve completed a couple in the past month and never got a response. That’s not the case for Super Trunko Go, as the dev reached
Byte Barrel MythBusters: The First Experiment Is A Fan Thing, Right? MythBusters: never seen a single episode. My dad’s seen them all and swears they’re great shows, but it’s one of those things I’ve never had time to watch. Games, on the other hand, I have time for. MythBusters: The First Experiment from Byte Barrel is based
art All Hail The Avocado - Hipster Café Early Access Lives! If this is what a Hipster Café actually plays out as, I’m off to put on my ill-fitting jeans, wax my moustache and grab that vintage Olympus loitering on my Scandinavian honeycomb shelf: it’s time for some #hashtags. useful slug’s sandbox massively delivers on innovative, witty, relaxing
crime Police Shootout: Prologue - Keep Calm And Keep Going I’m a police veteran – a Police Quest veteran. I’ve played and finished them all multiple times, but never in my long career have I been involved in something like Police Shootout: Prologue – the latest simulator from Games Incubator. Ok, so it’s not out in full yet, but
Buckshot Software Always Wear A Seatbelt In Project Warlock 2 Project Warlock 2 from Buckshot Software gives new meaning to the BFG: Brilliant Fucking Game. Such profanities! I bet you wouldn’t expect this from a Vulgar Knight? Well, I’m entitled to the odd f-bomb. This game appeared in my feed, and it looked like the type of FPS
demo The Scaredy Cat In The Mirror Forge Play the Mirror Forge demo at night, he says. Yeah, that won’t bother me in the slightest… If you’re new to me, I enjoy horrors – but books and films, not so much games. I’m a bit of a wuss. That said, Silent Hill 2 is one of
2022 The Last Hero Demo One of the things I like about demos is they’re a quick turnaround. The Last Hero is a prime example. It’s a 2D platformer currently in development on Steam from 2Design Games, and I’ve had an exclusive look. A look so exclusive that you can do the
Aerie Digital Shredding Prepositions In Battle Bands Early Access Welcome to Battle Bands! That’s what the game says at the beginning, and that’s my intro for you. Available on Early Access at the time of you reading/skimming/copying this article, it’s a rogue-like card-based game, and it rawks. Battle Bands Early Access gives you a
crafting Expedition Zero Preview: It's Cold Out At first I was afraid, I was petrified. But then about an hour later, I realised I’d survive the Expedition Zero demo, I would survive. Oh yeah. For a preview/demo, I was impressed by how many hours I ended up playing. From Enigmatic Machines (there’s something… about
Bubblehead Studios Phaseshift Early Access Preview: Crotch Rockets Out now in Early Access [it actually got put back to the 8th of March – me], Phaseshift is a fast-paced futuristic combat racer that boasts 12 tracks to play with, 3 customisable bikes, and 16+ weapons from the outset. So, do you invest at this early stage or wait for
adult Vanillabeast: Ace in the Hole - Alpha (Male) Gameplay Should the indie dev overlords bless me with the power of parodying all I loved about the 80s growing up, then Vanillabeast: Ace in the Hole is what I’d come up with. That is, if I had any programming skills whatsoever. Still, I’m good at looking at stuff,
Preview To Hell With The Ugly Preview: Jazz Hands To Hell With The Ugly - let it be ruled by us beautiful people! No, that's not the message of this point and click based on the book of the same name.
Armor Game Studios LumbearJack Preview: The Bear Necessities (An Axe) LumbearJack was one of those random downloads during Steam Next Fest. When there’s a sea of titles that you’re familiar with, it’s natural to miss some belters unless they’re promoted or someone recommends it. In this title’s case, it was on looks alone. In hindsight,
action RPG Batora: Lost Haven Preview: Double-Edged Listen up: everyone’s dead, and only you, Avril, can save Earth. Batora: Lost Haven follows the reluctant teen’s cosmic journey after everyone she cared about has gone. She’s in the enviable position of not having grown-ups telling her what to do, meaning she can be the person
Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. Preview: Dirtier Than A Dog's Asshole I instantly loved Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. – from a non-cat perspective, but as a film fan and someone who dotes on comedy – especially when the opening scene refers to the city as dirtier than a dog’s asshole. Credits are the usual go-to when writing about a game, but
demo Tinykin Preview: Honey, I Shrunk The Extraterrestrial Since Paper Mario, there’s been a… fair amount of titles that blend 2D with 3D in an aesthetically pleasing manner but perhaps don’t live up to Nintendo’s game. Demon Turf was an interesting one, and today’s demo, Tinykin. From tinyBuild, I wrote about it a couple
indie The Wreck Preview: A Little Bird Told Me... The Wreck is the work of The Pixel Hunt. Already Bafta-nominated for Bury Me, My Love, it’s evident of their storytelling abilities. In the short playtime of the demo, I immediately wanted more. In some respects, it’s a love letter to arthouse cinema – not necessarily an intentional choice,
Drago Entertainment Food Truck Simulator Preview: Good Burger Before you say there’s nothing to play, this week’s Steam Next Fest will be eating up any PC gaming time you have, so where do you start? Well, here’s a scoop for Food Truck Simulator as I had an early look at it. From the people behind
exploration Submerged: Hidden Depths Preview: Exploration For The Masses Submerged: Hidden Depths is the sequel to 2015’s Submerged by Uppercut Games. Take the exploration bits from Uncharted and Tomb Raider and remove all threats, and that’s loosely what this game is. There are no goons carrying guns, ancient tribal deities shooting at you with dusty blowpipes, or
chill Isle Of Jura Preview: Pretty Much Hooked A lot of us play games to unwind, and titles like Isle of Jura amplify that notion as its very foundations are built upon the ancient sands of Relaxantis. That’s not remotely made up for the purpose of this write-up. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t start off relaxing
