Developer Cygnus Cross has announced an Early Access release window of (Northern) summer 2026 for ARPG and town/farm sim Emberville. For the gameplay, think Diablo-lite meets Stardew Valley. The game goes beyond traditional “farm and fight” games with a simple (yet deep) combat system, an inherited skill levelling system, and challenging boss fights. Today’s new gameplay trailer showcases what players…
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…

Ever 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.

When it comes to backing games on Kickstarter, it’s a bit hit or miss. On one hand, I’ve backed some games years back that still haven’t seen the light of day. On the other hand, I’ve been able to help developers make some pretty good things, like Boyfriend Dungeon. Arcadian…

This is the first annual Access-Ability Summer Showcase. I was pleasantly surprised to even hear that it existed, and in all honesty I’m honoured to cover such a strong selection of current and upcoming titles. While I wish I could give full coverage to every game mentioned, I honestly just…

For most, Summer Game Fest was the big event of the day. I watched it, but didn’t even bother covering it as a whole: there were like two things I was interested in. But following that is Day of the Devs, which is far more focused on artistic indie games…

Nightmare Reaper aims to be a blend of roguelike and nostalgic throwback to the “boomer shooter” era of Doom. In a sense, it succeeds. It is indeed a roguelike (with procedurally-generated levels and a need to start from scratch with each death), and it has the violence and manic action…

Who doesn’t like a freebie? Midnight Witch – the first project by Crimson Moon Studio – has released today, and the developers are giving it away for nothing. There’s no catch with that either. No DLC for characters or costumes. No microtransactions. It’s just a free game to add to…

Here we sit, two weeks away from Dordogne’s launch. The game both looks stunning and features interesting gameplay, and I’m excited to eventually get my hands on it. Set in the South of France, the game follows a woman as she explores the home in which she spent her childhood…
