Albatroz (PC) – Review

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 17:00:21 +0000

Paced like an artsy-fartsy emotional piece about teenagers who want to touch each other, Albatroz is odd. You play as Isla, a young American woman who has gotten bored on the 9-5, and instead of doing the sane thing (like getting a gun and shooting the boss), she decided to go backpacking through South America, or wherever this fantasy land, “The Forgotten Lands,” is. Pretty (to a degree) by…

Garden Witch Life (Nintendo Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 17:00:24 +0000

Garden Witch Life is a new game from SOEDESCO that starts with a relatable premise. What if your plan in life fell apart? What if things didn’t go the way you had hoped? That’s the human experience boiled down to a single existential question. Things often don’t go as we plan, but in Garden Witch Life, a world of anthropomorphic creatures and magic gives your character the chance to pave a new…

Seven Doors (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 18:00:30 +0000

I love a good puzzle game as much as the next guy. Games like The Room, mixing escape room and puzzle elements, always catch my attention. Seven Rooms seems like a great idea on paper, but after spending some time with it, I’m a bit disappointed. Seven Doors puts you in the role of an unnamed protagonist, who finds themselves meant to explore and solve seven rooms. Each room has a very short bit…

Airoheart (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 28 Oct 2022 15:00:33 +0000

I often find myself looking for Indie games inspired by classics. This isn’t always to relive those nostalgic days, sometimes I want to see how a new developer (with time and distance) can iterate on a classic idea. Airoheart has the inspirational DNA of early games in the Legend of Zelda franchise. However, some issues with difficulty and clunky controls really stop it from being truly great.

Lemon Cake (Switch) Review

Admittedly, the moment I saw an advertisement for Lemon Cake, I was intrigued. time management games are normally stressful for me, but Lemon Cake’s cute, cozy vibes caught my attention. I wasn’t disappointed either, Lemon Cake has a cute aesthetic and a well-thought-out gameplay loop. In fact, it is probably one of the more decent Time Management games on Switch. In Lemon Cake, you play as a…

Bunny Park (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 19:00:47 +0000

Casual games seem to find a home on the Nintendo Switch. Sometimes this is a good thing, and sometimes the games feel a little out of place. Bunny Park is a game that works if you play your Switch like a tablet, but it isn’t exactly the best casual game for the platform. In Bunny Park, you take control of the titular park, which has been affected by a storm. All the bunnies have run off…

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 29 Jul 2022 19:00:01 +0000

A while ago, I saw a cozy little game for Steam called Lemon Cake. I saw it on the Wholesome Direct, but I had also stumbled across it on Steam as well. Now, it seems that the game will be getting a release for consoles, much sooner than you’d think. Developer Cozy Bee games will be releasing the café management simulator on September 30th. It will release on all console platforms…

Dollhouse (PS4) Review

Abdul Saad — Thu, 30 May 2019 16:00:51 +0000

I don’t usually subject myself to playing horror games alone in my room on a Friday night. However, if it is a Noir based mystery set in the 1950’s, then there really isn’t much else to say beyond “where do I start?“. Dollhouse is an extremely unique game. It is far different than any other horror game I’ve played, so far at least. What drew me in specifically was the 1950’s Noir aesthetic.
