Review by Matt C. I really want to like Bookbound Brigade. On paper, it sounds great: a Metroidvania where you control a squad of heroes rather than a single protagonist, with different formations being as important to progression as more typical ability upgrades. Coupled with fun art style and a…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. The talented development team behind Minit really hit onto something special with that low-fi, high-concept little game about iterative progress. Now they’re back, in partnership with Devolver Digital, to announce something very different: Disc Room, a hardcore action game that’s all about surviving brutally sharp, rapidly…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ciel Fledge doesn’t hide the source of its inspiration: the game wants to be a Princess Maker title in all but name, and largely succeeds at that. Your task is to take a 10 year old girl, and by managing her routines and making the right…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. Speed dating for ghosts is one of those funny little games that you’ll start playing, not expecting too much, and ultimately become charmed by its energy and style. It’s simple and minimalist in just about every way, but importantly it’s also a big success in every…
