News by Lindsay M. Toronto-based indie developer DrinkBox Studios has announced its next game, Severed.

Review by Pierre-Yves L. To quote a very interesting and wholly unserious movie that you should probably watch, even if you don’t enjoy it, “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”. In a lot of cases this statement holds true for our heroes in one of…

Hitman/Square Enix/Video/Video review

Video by Sam M. Since kicking off with the new, episodic, Hitman, there’s one particular scene that I simply can’t get out of my mind: the fashion show. It has all the hallmarks of a classic setting for something dramatic; it’s visually striking, it mixes high society and class. It’s…

Candlelight/Indie/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Harvard L. Candlelight feels like a marriage between the modern platformer and a walking simulator. Its production values are wonderful and there is a sheer joy in every aspect of the game’s design which is infectious. This is backed by simple yet solid platformer mechanics which do a…

Review by Mikhail M. Over the last few months, a lot of Japanese game publishers and developers have been dipping their toes into the PC platform via Steam. Aksys was one, publishing the Arc System Works-developed visual novel Xblaze Code: Embryo on Steam recently and while it’s fun, it also…
