The Mortuary Assistant Review

What is the first thing that comes into mind when you hear the word horror? Is it fear or excitement? Do you imagine monsters, ghost or demons? What about when you think about a morgue? Can you bring yourself to work with the dead or do you get squeamish?Well, let me tell you that the new horror game created by solo dev company, DarkStone Digital, and published by DreadXP, sets us up for some amazingly good scares.

Slime Rancher 2 Review

Some games should come with a diabetes warning sign. Slime Rancher 2 perfectly fits the bill as it delivers a cuteness overload masquerading as a relaxing gameplay experience, when in fact there is so much going on, that getting your nerves wrecked in no time is also a possibility. Slimes, it seems, are an unruly bunch, and while they attempt to leave you in awe with their lovely sounds and adorable expressions, chickens will be devoured, and tarr slimes will swallow regular slimes whole.

Trail Out Review

If FlatOut and Destruction Derby had a baby, it would be the gorgeous but badly behaved Trail Out.

The Tarnishing of Juxtia Review

It’s a hauntingly beautiful pixel-art platformer where each fight is a challenge, each enemy a potential nemesis that requires careful planning and impeccable timing to eliminate. Sadly, its great ambitions fall short due to a flaw that makes it all a tad too frustrating.Darkest SoulsThe story touches upon the traditional grim tale of a corrupting evil force and how you must help a Goddess battle this Tarnishing. Although there are

Hell Pie Review

Hell hath no fury like Satan with a craving for birthday pie. Such is the premise for new platformer Hell Pie from developer Sluggerfly. This is the perfect time to warn everyone that despite its occasionally harmless cartoon appearance, Hell Pie includes violence, gore, wiggling devil Chef butts, unicorn sacrifices, and the worst of them all… bland Hawaiian t-shirts.It’s great then that this is a superb throwback to 3D action platformers of old, specifically those with a duo of heroes taking on the world, such as Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and the like. Hell Pie brings challenging, diverse, and
