Bubble Bobble is one of the greatest games ever made, and it’s also my go-to game when I’ve been asked about my favourite game of all time. Taito’s certainly done some interesting things with the Bubble Bobble IP over the years, and while a lot of the spinoff games have…

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…

Classic JRPG-styled games are catching a lot of flak lately, with some (wrong) people believing that turn-based games are dated and on the outs.

Bossa Studios is perhaps best known for its platformer I Am Bread; according to Matt’s review, it’s a non-subtle homage to Kafka that lacks context and gameplay precision.

Video game lovers have been obsessed over whether or not in-game dogs can be pet for years (in the upcoming Little Friends: Puppy Island, you can pet literally all of them!), but now it’s time for the dog to be the protagonist. Breeze in the Clouds is a 2D action…

It was announced months ago that PowerWash Simulator will be getting three paid DLC packs this year, but no specifics were given. Well, the first has been announced, and there’s a famous sea sponge behind it. A certain seas sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. That’s right:…

All a developer/publisher has to mention is that something is inspired by Stardew Valley, and I’ll be immediately drawn to it. Mirthwood is one of those titles, though it’s also inspired by Fable (love it!) and Rimworld (haven’t played it). It’s a captivating single-player game about an epic journey through…
