Phenixx Gaming’s 2024 Holiday Greetings

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:00:15 +0000

We have survived another year everyone! With storms, flooding in the Sahara Desert (that actually happened), and a variety of other climate-based issues, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that getting to the end of 2024 was an exercise in tenacity and willpower. With the end of 2024 though comes a tradition here at Phenixx Gaming! Those of us who work here at Phenixx Gaming are taking a break.

First Winter Mystery Game Free on Epic

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 14:00:44 +0000

For one last time this year: Monday, Call of Elyndra now has a demo out now. Tuesday, everyone’s favorite Skywalker did a lore video for Monster Hunter Wilds, there is a Death on the Nile game from Microids on the way, and S4U: Citypunk 2011 reminds me 2011 was far too long ago to not get depressed. Wednesday, BiM has expanded into the stars as Supermarket Simulator-like Alien Market Simulator is…

Inaugural Indie Game Awards Release Hype Teaser

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 16:00:16 +0000

The Game Awards get a lot of flack, some deserved and some unwarranted. That said, one thing I think is clear is that focusing on marketing and trailers puts some smaller studios and devs at a disadvantage. To combat the money and influence AAA studios have and to give some much-needed love to indie games, the Indie Game Awards will take place this week for the first time ever. To excite fans of…

Penny Blood: Hellbound Now Available on Steam

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 14:00:01 +0000

I keep an eye on a lot of early-access games, especially Rogue-likes. However, after a while sometimes games slip through my field of view and I forget for a while. Penny Blood: Hellbound is one such game. However, it just came back to the forefront of my attention due to its full release. That’s right, Penny Blood: Hellbound hit 1.0 and was released out of Early Access on Tuesday, December 17th…

Steam Winter Sale 2024 Details

Mike Reitemeier — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 16:00:41 +0000

Steam and sales go hand-in-hand, as Valve’s gaming marketplace has been considered the best way to buy digital PC games for two decades now. The first game I ever bought on the platform was LA Noire with my very first laptop, and it was coincidentally on sale for a mere $4.99. Ever since I got bit by the bargain bug, my library has become a treasure trove of games I could spend the rest of my life…

Alien Market Simulator hits Early Access in 2025

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 14:00:17 +0000

Hi, my name is Keiran… Come on, this is where you’re all supposed to in one disinterested voice say “Hi Keiran.” This isn’t [shop type] Simulator’s Anonymous, is it? I’ve been doing this a lot lately, trauma-dumping my experience with different shop-type-based simulators that I mindlessly walk to and wishlist before I know anything about them. I’m sure I’ll get lots more emails after Pakistani…

S4U: CITYPUNK 2011 AND LOVE PUNCH Releases in January

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:00:31 +0000

Time is a weird thing, one minute your niece is too young for school, you blink, and suddenly 2011 is long gone and she’s like a whole person that’s practically done with school. It makes you feel sick. Let’s go back to 2011, when things maybe didn’t look so gloomy and we could jump on buying a house in that sweet spot before everything became stupid expensive again (Q4 2012).

Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile Announced

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 16:00:18 +0000

As a fan of classic mystery fiction, including work by Agatha Christie herself, I love the resurgence in the popularity of her work over the last few years. Microids has done well to create a variety of solid games (though they have variable quality) adapting several of her most famous works. Now, the classic tale of Death on the Nile is next. While we do not have a release date…

Daisy Ridley Stars in Monster Hunter Wilds Lore Video

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 14:00:20 +0000

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to release in 2025, and fans could not be more excited. Although Rise offered a twist on the Monster Hunter experience, the new game follows in the footsteps of the breakout Monster Hunter Worlds, which utilized then-modern consoles and their power to their fullest. If you’re not caught up on lore, a new video featuring Star Wars and Young Woman and the Sea actress…

Call of Elyndra Gets First Demo

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 14:00:00 +0000

The “cozy game” sphere has expanded more and more since 2020. In recent years we’ve seen heavy hitters like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well as things like Fields of Mistria and Disney Dreamlight Valley. Now a new demo is available for a promising take on the cozy game genre. Quorum Games’ debut title, Call of Elyndra has a demo on Steam now. This new game merges Action-RPG elements with…
