I’ll be honest: I’m still obsessed with Sticky Business. I’ve been obsessed with it since I reviewed it for PC, and I now play it on Nintendo Switch as well. Since then, developer Spellgarden Games has released the cozy, witchy farming sim Ritual of Raven. Now, it has announced a new title that brings players closer to its Sticky Business…
If you’re looking for a turn-based JRPG that takes a little (okay, a lot) of skills, Virgo Versus the Zodiac might be for you. It’s a sci-fi/fantasy JRPG about Virgo, who is trying to revive something called the Golden Age and purge the Heretics swarming the galaxy. It’s been available…
Read MoreAffogato has players managing a coffee shop, listening to their customers enchanting stories, and using witchy powers to get rid of their inner demons.

Read MoreDie. Gather. Craft. Survive. Die again. Unlock new stuff. And try it all over again. That’s the basic premise of An Ankou, where players will explore haunted lands and become a servant of death. The whole ushering people to the end thing was done really well with Spiritfarer (seriously, play…

The developer, Cadabra Games, is based in Brazil; it makes sense that a Brazilian publisher, QUByte Interactive, would publish Adore. Th game has been in development since 2018,…

Read MoreStrange Scaffold is a developer I can’t quite figure out. On one hand, it releases games like Sunshine Shuffle, a cutesy game that has cute animals playing cards on a boat (though it isn’t a adorable as it seems on the surface). On the other hand is El Paso, Elsewhere,…
Read MoreEver since the MCU, Thor has seemed basically exclusive to Marvel. It’s really nice to see the Norse god getting his time to shine without all the Marvel narrative getting in the way, getting back to the original mythology.
