Review by Matt S. Dodo Peak isn’t the kind of game that you’ll remember six months down the track. But it is the kind of game that you’ll come across randomly when browsing through your library of games, remember that you actually really enjoyed playing it, and load it up…

Review by Harvard L. Digital card games and roguelikes have become rather hip in the indie scene, so much so that a game like Nowhere Prophet by German studio Sharkbomb Studios feels more like a follower than a leader. And while I do absolutely want to take the developer on…

Review by Matt S. Mittelborg wants you to think that it’s a blend of resource management, roguelike adventure, and esoteric storytelling about a doomed city that exists in the ether between planes. That sounds great, right? It did to me when I started playing this, and while I would very…
