The life of an indie game artist is a tough one. On a shoestring budget, you need to find a way to make your little pixel project stand out in a sea of multi-million dollar games vying for the attention of the gaming community. It’s a tough job, and no matter how many bright lights, […]

Back in my childhood, it was pretty much accepted that if a game wasn’t fun in the most basic and traditional sense, then it probably wasn’t worth playing at all. It was all about high-octane action, fast-paced platforming, and getting a high score to lord over your friends. However, in this new modern era of

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have been playing the new deck-builder masterclass Balatro pretty much non-stop since it was released in February this year, and like any avid gambler, I can stop anytime I want, I just don’t want to. I’ve poured upwards of 100 hours into this consequence-free gambling card game, and with

We have a lot to thank Hidetaka Miyazaki for when it comes to modern-day RPGs. Seeing as he is the driving force behind the sub-genre known as the Souls-like and has brought us amazing franchises such as Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and several more.

It’s a tale as old as time. Like a hit TV show which sucks for the first few seasons but then bursts into life, or an album that needs a few listens before you truly appreciate it. Sometimes, you need to stick with things before they ‘get good’, and this can also be true of

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. A good boss battle is a dying art in modern video gaming. Unless you’re playing a souls game, most boss battles will wash over you as you beat them to a pulp with little to no effort. But if you’re willing to seek them out, there

A genre of video game that I feel doesn’t get its flowers enough is the 2D puzzle platformer. Unless you throw an ominous and spooky vibe on top to get people hooked like in games such as Bramble The Mountain King, or Little Nightmares, often people don’t want to know. But there have been so

You can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your family; that’s what they say, right? I’m paraphrasing, but you get the point. It’s a sentiment that pretty much everyone can get behind. Even though your sister might be a dweeb that made your life hell, or your mother is constantly breathing down your neck

Here’s the thing about Walking Simulators: they’re great, but they tend to be a one-and-done sort of deal.
