Empty Shell Review
Empty Shell is a survival horror roguelike with a strong emphasis on a full black and white art style, as if the player was watching the action unfold through a satellite view from a bygone age. This unusual approach is both its greatest strength and its biggest shortcoming as it deeply sets the mood, but also makes it harder to distinguish enemy types, ultimately affecting gameplay as a whole.The ExpendablesThe story is an interesting one, with a hint of Squid Game if we want to look at it from a certain “disposable people” perspective.

Kinetic Storm Review
Kinetic Storm by Broken Teapot Studios Inc. is a fun and exciting action roguelike, bullet hell type of game that can easily suck you in for hours at a time.

The Backrooms: Survival Review
Games based on creepypastas are a dime a dozen, most of them low-effort and low-budget attempts at capturing a fanbase often obsessed with scary stories. The Backrooms: Survival entirely fits the bill, being inspired by The Backrooms, a story about a mysterious place of endless mazes where you end up trapped and chased by supernatural entities. Sharing similar themes with creepypastas such as Slenderman, where escaping is a constant, The Backrooms: Survival is the perfect game for the streamer and the screamer generation, but a weak shot at a clever and engaging horror experience.Dead SpaceYour goal in The Backrooms: Survival is
