Storage Hunter Simulator 1.0 Review: A Fun, Janky Mess That Forgot It Was Supposed to Be Finished
The 1.0 update adds multiplayer, which is great, but it also broke the economy and forgot to fix the physics. It's fun, but it's a mess.
Midnight Heist 1.0 Review: Phasmophobia Meets Payday, and It Works Surprisingly Well
Imagine trying to rob a bank, but the security guard is a literal ghost that wants to eat your soul. Midnight Heist is a tense, fun mashup of genres.
Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing Edition Review: A Gorgeous Map Ruined by Broken Features
The new Scottish map is stunning, but the "Fishing Edition" barely lets you fish. Here is why this expensive DLC feels like a paid beta.
Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation Review: The Best Boomer Shooter of the Year Costs 10€
Imagine if Johnny Bravo had a shotgun arm and a thirst for vengeance. Captain Wayne is a $10 indie masterpiece that outshines most AAA shooters.
Moonlighter 2 Early Access Review: The Best Shopkeeping Sim Just Got a Whole Lot Better
The original Moonlighter was a flawed gem. The sequel? It's a polished, addictive masterpiece that makes capitalism fun again.
News Tower Review: It’s Like The Sims Meets Citizen Kane, and I’m Addicted
I thought running a newspaper would be boring. 30 hours later, I’m sweating over a deadline, bribing the mayor, and yelling at my typesetters. News Tower is a gem.
SWAPMEAT Review: A Gloriously Disgusting Mess That Deserves Your Attention
This game lets you rip the legs off an alien and attach them to your own body mid-combat. SWAPMEAT is disgusting, weird, and genuinely a blast to play with friends.
Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road Review: The Most Addictive, Frustrating, and Brilliant $9 You Will Spend This Year
Imagine if Vampire Survivors and a tower defense game had a baby, and that baby lived in a van down by the river. This is Monsters are Coming!, and I am obsessed with it.
Total Chaos Review: A Dirty, Janky, Masterpiece of Misery That I Can't Stop Playing
This started as a Doom mod, but it evolved into something far darker. Total Chaos is a 20-hour descent into madness that proves you don't need 4K textures to terrify a grown man.
Winter Burrow Review: A Gorgeous, Heartbreaking Story That’s a Chore to Play
Winter Burrow is one of the most beautiful and well-written games I've played this year. It's also one of the most tedious and annoying. I am... conflicted.
Cubic Odyssey Review: A 1.0 Release That Feels More Like a 0.5 Alpha
This "Minecraft meets No Man's Sky" sandbox has a core of pure addiction... if you can ignore that it's unfinished, broken, and sold as a final product.
Service with a Shotgun Review: VA-11 Hall-A Meets Doom, and It's a Blast
The premise is Coffee Talk meets Doom. You're a shopkeeper in the apocalypse, serving coffee, chatting with locals, and blasting zombies in the face.
Dark Quest 4 Review: The Digital HeroQuest I've Been Waiting For
Dark Quest 4 is the digital tabletop game I've been craving. It's a charming, turn-based dungeon crawl that feels like a classic TTRPG night.
House Builder 2 Review: A Buggy, Soulless Clicker Wearing a Simulator's Skin
The first House Builder was a solid sim. The sequel is a "meme version" that guts everything that made the original good and replaces it with bugs and clicker mechanics.
Jester: A Foolish Ritual Review: A Terrifying Co-op Mess That's Way More Fun Than It Should Be
This game is a prime example of "stupid fun." It's a janky, cheap co-op horror game where a killer clown hunts you by listening to your mic.
The Boss Gangsters: Nightlife Review: Part Nightclub Sim, Part Mafia Tycoon, All Early Access Jank
I love the idea: run a nightclub as a front for a growing criminal empire. But in practice, this Early Access tycoon is a buggy, unbalanced, and janky mess... and I'm still hooked.
Earth vs Mars Review: This Is What Happens When Company of Heroes Devs Make an Advance Wars Game on a Lunch Break
This is the weirdest game I've played from a big-name studio. Earth vs Mars is a goofy, budget Advance Wars clone, but its DNA-splicing mechanic is pure genius.
ARC Raiders Review: The Extraction Shooter for People Who Hate Extraction Shooters
I usually hate extraction shooters. ARC Raiders is the exception. It's a gorgeous, polished, and addictive game that respects your time.
Tormented Souls 2 Review: An Old-School Horror Masterpiece That's Trying to Self-Destruct
Tormented Souls 1 was a love letter. The sequel is a full-blown attempt to steal the crown. It's bigger, better, and scarier, but its ambition comes at a cost.
Capote Review: The Best Way to Lose Friends for Under Five Bucks
This game isn't revolutionary, but it's the most fun I've had losing friends in ages. Capote is a chaotic Brazilian card game that's all about strategic betting and pure sabotage.
