Somber Echoes Review

Somber Echoes is a platform heavy side-scrolling Metroidvania with progressive mechanics and an extensive interconnected maze of a world to explore. It feels a bit like playing Ori, if Ori was set in a dark, mostly destroyed spaceship and had multiple endings, each with their own boss battle. Co-developed by Norwegian based indie Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games, it’s part sci-fi, part post apocalyptic, and also draws from Greek and Roman mythology for both the story and impressive 2.5 D visuals built in Unreal Engine 5. It was originally released for PC on January 21st and later on PS5 and Xbox

Static Dread: The Lighthouse Review

Things were well enough on the mainland. The sea air was intoxicating, the slightest haze swirling just above the waters surface. You flip open your tattered and worn wallet, index finger brushing across the faded and worn central point, digit gracing along that prominent outwards curve. The leather silently gives from years of use, calloused fingers producing a photo from it's central fold. Two pair of beautiful bright eyes and a set of warm smiles meet your gaze: Your lovely family. You wouldn't be out here for long. It would only be a few days before the next Keeper was on

DEVOUR Review

Survival horror with friends? Yeah, why not!?Devour isn’t exactly new you might’ve heard of it already. It was developed and published by Straight Back Games and first released on January 28, 2021, but since then, quite a few things have changed.They have added a VR mode, which sounds nice actually, though I haven’t tried it myself. What I did play was the regular co-op mode with some friends. There are new maps now, which is great, back when I first played, there were only around four, so more variety was definitely needed, I first played and they have introduced new characters
