Shroomwood is a top-down bullet hell shooter with big promises that it has yet to fill. Planning to release in Early Access, it could do with a few tweaks.

That does not mean that anyone can…

Xbox proudly announcing the return of console exclusives is a deeply misguided move. Not only has it been proven that players will happily support their games on other platforms, but this igniting of the console wars is archaic, to say the least. Yes, longtime Xbox…

These past two weeks have seen an insurmountable amount of upcoming video games quite literally…

The Tragedy At Deer Creek is a mysterious point-and-click game set in a lonely Alaskan settlement. It feels like a classic PC adventure, for better or worse. How long does it take for a mystery to be solved? The first 48 hours of an investigation are the most important. Relevant authorities need to act on any possible leads as soon as possible. If a missing person is not found within this timeframe, two things happen: by a miracle, they are found by people who confess, or, more gruesomely, they are never found. On the other side of this equation exist…

OPUS: Prism Peak is a powerful photography journey that not only surprises but also delights thanks to its surreal landscapes and tender storytelling. Life has a strange way of telling us that change is coming. It presents itself in so many situations that we might not even realize it. A new job. A breakup. A voyage. Regardless of how it happens, if we refuse to change, the consequences are severe. Being stuck in a rut means losing the will to live.

Swan Song is a music box-based puzzle game that kindly retells the story of a young woman stricken with grief learning to overcome it. There was a time I detested getting older. No, it was not the sudden increase in responsibilities. Neither was the sudden anxiety attacks I would suffer. It was that people I loved started dying. Family members, past loves, old friends. What is scarier than the prospect of passing away myself—which still brings me an awful lot of dread—is losing those I have ever loved. When there are times of peace, I breathe easy. If only for…
