Previews include first impressions of demos, betas, and predominantly, Early Access via Steam.
demo
There have been a few teases here and there of an Old Skies demo on Twitter from Wadjet Eye Games, but having played the demo just before Steam Next Fest, I can quite honestly say that this is a game I’m massively excited about – so much so, I’ve
Dave the Diver
Dave the Diver demo is a no-nonsense pixel art adventure. The no-frills title alone grabbed my attention, as did the gorgeous pixel art cinematics seen in the trailer. This was going to be a post about ‘coming soon to Steam Next Fest’, but it looked that good, I downloaded the
Assemble Entertainment
Hello, and welcome to the world of XEL. I think I read that this was a twin-stick shooter, so after posting the news bit about it, I downloaded the demo to give it a whirl. Here’s what I think… It’s not a twin-stick shooter, at least, not from
city builder
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
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
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
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, 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
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: 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
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
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
