There Are No Human Sloppy Seconds For Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot

It’s not just me who’s back, but Konfa Games and tinyBuild are back with more Despot shenanigans: Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot. It’s also another opportunity to diss puny humans once more. This time, we have a different approach as this instalment is a rogue-lite bullet…heaven

Overthrow The President! Streets Of Rogue 2 Is Coming!

Streets of Rogue was one of the first games I reviewed when I started this site, so seeing the announcement for Streets of Rogue 2 brought back memories of creating another website, experimenting with word count, but more specifically, chicken nuggets. The original was the efforts of solo dev Matt

SAND Gets Everywhere! Fortunately, It'll Be On Your PC In Time

Who doesn’t want to play with SAND? Especially when it’s a steampunk survival shooter from the team that made Secret Neighbor. Pssst… that’s Hologryph and tinyBuild, by the way. Set in a post-apocalyptic scenario, you either get to explore (a.k.a. survive) the desert on your

Those Waves Look Ferocious! Wait, What's That...?

OMYOG’s Ferocious fills that void left by Turok all those years ago on the Nintendo 64. That was years ago. Do you mean there hasn’t been a decent dino FPS since then? I’m sure there has been, but I’m not a typical fan of dinosaurs, Kong,

JUSTICE SUCKS FREE DLC Vacuum Of Space Announced

It’s time for more than that monthly clean of yours, as Justice Sucks has got a new FREE DLC called Vacuum of Space. On a side note, the game is as shouty as ‘FREE’ as the title should be in uppercase. CHECK OUT THE REVIEW. Anyhoo, Samurai Punk and

Hello Neighbor 2, Hello Neighborhood

Step away from the curtains! Your neighbours are entitled to guests, irrespective if they’re wearing PVC and ballgags. That’s their business. Wait: disappearing kids? Dubious moustaches outside of Movember? Better investigate Hello Neighbor 2, then. Clever intro, huh? Don’t answer. In case you genuinely have been living

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars A Bright Entry For Souls-Likes?

Could Asterigos: Curse of the Stars be the catalyst for Xbox coverage? Though I’m not anti-Xbox, I don’t have anything after the 360 to do reviews in the comfort of my own underpants. That could/should change soon, but a fellow gamer helped me out on tinyBuild’s

Despot's Game Is A Sadistic Game For Masochists

More Despot’s Game? Hell yeah. It’s out now and has the Challenges DLC, too, so back off, alright. Konfa Games and tinyBuild have a corker here, and it’s not a game I’ve been tired of since the early previews and demos. However, playing against other players

Justice Sucks Review: Suck It, Intruders!

Justice Sucks is uncannily like Roombo: First Blood – a game I played way back on the Nintendo Switch and loved. Memory not serving me correctly, I just looked it up and low and behold, it’s the same developer, Samurai Punk. Yay! Roombo’s spirit lives on, albeit as Dusty

Despot's Game: Dystopian Army Builder Opens The Doors Next Month

Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder has been one of my favourite demos of late. It’s a follow-up to Despotism 3K (available on Steam for free between the 4th – 7th of August). It has the same meatbags, wicked sense of humour, and lots of Lovecraft elements. Good news, everyone:

Irid Novo Gets An Extention In Hellpoint: Blue Sun DLC

I’m not sure how many times I can write about Hellpoint without getting bored, but just to let you know, the DLC is out today, with a PS5 upgrade available. From Cradle Games and tinyBuild, this is a Souls-like set in space, in particualr, on the space station Irid

Hellpoint For Next-Gen AND DLC? Not So Hellish After All?

Why hasn’t Hellpoint got more scope? Considering the interest in Elden Ring, perhaps you might want to shift your dark fantasy leanings towards sci-fi now that it’s coming to next-gen and with the Blue Sun DLC. From Cradle Games and tinyBuild, this Souls-like action RPG will be familiar

Expedition Zero's Mechanics Are Cold

I’m a patient guy, but I’m not going through those spotlights again for this Expedition Zero review. That’s all mouth and no trousers though, as starting a new game, I had to repeat the same thing from the demo. Fortunately, I did it first go. A few

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

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

tinyBuild's Lunar New Year Steam Sale

Who doesn’t like a good sale? Rhetorical. Sales are so much better when they’re for things you like, and as a tinyBuild fan, I’m pleased to say that this particular sale is for their stuff. To celebrate the year of the tiger, they’ve put together a

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.

Suitable For Screening: Not For Broadcast Coming Out Of Early Access

It is with great pleasure to announce that Not For Broadcast is almost ready for launch after two years in Early Access and with over 300k of sales. An FMV title where you’re responsible for editing a live broadcast using VHS, it is undoubtedly one of the most unique

Trash Sailors PC Review: Filthy Sea Dwellers

I can’t help but hum the theme tune to Captain Pugwash when even mentioning Trash Sailors. That’s pretty mad as I’m not old enough to have seen the kid’s show, but with names like Master Bates and Roger the Cabin Boy, the crew are forever immortalised

Happy's Humble Burger Farm PC Review: Patty Artist

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is a surprise addition to tinyBuild’s catalogue. Sure, the publisher has an eye for indie gems, but with their recent acquisitions, the cynic in me worries that the underdogs won’t get the same exposure as before. Not the case here. First of all,

Undungeon Review (PC): Guardians of the Galaxy

Undungeon is an intelligent and engaging dungeon crawler from developers Laughing Machines and tinyBuild. ‘Dungeon crawler’ isn’t the definitive label for this game as it’s pretty ambitious and has a lot on offer.  On the surface, it’s an action RPG from a top-down (ish) perspective where you’

Undungeon Is Unleashed On PC - Summon The Heralds!

In all honesty? I forgot about Undungeon until I got an email confirming it’s released today on PC. Look out for a review in due course, but here’s the skinny in the meantime. From Laughing Machines and tinyBuild, this is an action RPG where you play a Herald.
