Niffelheim Review
Niffelheim is a fun survival game steeped in Norse mythology. The main character has died, and instead of moving on to Valhalla as they should, somehow find themself stuck in Niffelheim. Survival is vital while you try to figure out how to move on, and you are left to your own devices to figure out what needs to happen. If you like games where you are given minimal direction, and you have to make nearly everything to survive, Niffelheim is a game you’ll want to play.Right from the beginning, I appreciated the fact Niffelheim dropped me in with the barest amount
How ‘Quake’ Helped Define the Gaming Industry
Before Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, and League of Legends, we had Quake—a first-person shooter game in 1996 that inspired many of the best titles in modern gaming. In fact, when IGN interviewed creative director Tim Willits during Quake’s anniversary in 2015, he commented, “If you look at games today, and if you look at the shape of the video game industry, Quake was actually more influential than Doom was.” And Doom introduced a lot of new things, from mod scenes and pseudo-3D graphics, to AI and action multiplayer. To say that another game is more superior—and one that came after Doom, at
Joggernauts Review
Joggernauts is an infinite runner with a deceptive childish flairStory:You (or your friends if you have any) have crash-landed on a planet where you will be jogging for your life!Gameplay:Since I myself have only had single player to go off of, this will not be a comprehensive review of the party game elements.My first impressions of the game were actually really fun. I've played bitrunner before for a brief amount of time and thought myself competent at infinite runners.Nope.The first world was challenging but doable, but afterward, I got absolutely reamed. The game is fairly simple, you have a blue character
Citadel: Forged with Fire Review
Citadel: Forged with Fire is pitched as a huge, online sandbox RPG with light survival elements, base-building, magic and the ability to tame and ride fantastical creatures. The DNA of survival games like Rust, Ark: Survival Evolved, Conan Exiles and more run thick through it, although with nothing but a relentless, soul-destroying grind awaiting you, particularly if you are playing on your own.There is a slicker, more attractive presentation than some of its inspirations, and the draw of forging your path as a newly minted wizard to the likes of an all powerful Battle-Mage riding a Dragon or Phoenix into battle

Streets of Rogue Review
Play as a vampire, hacker, gorilla, bartender, or 22 other characters in this weird, great roguelike.On my first run, I'm an assassin, backstabbing enemies and slinging shuriken. Then I'm a jock, barrelling through walls and swinging a baseball bat. Next, I'm a gorilla, flanked by three other primates, tearing scientists apart with my bare hands in the middle of downtown. Somehow, I avoid the patrolling cops on that last one, probably because I’d injected two of my companions with an invisibility serum—plus, there was a riot in the streets, turning the level into a mosh pit of gang fights, enraged shop

Flotsam Review
Flotsam Developed by Pajama Llama Games and Published by KongregateI want to start off this review by stating that this game is Early Access on Steam. While some people don’t like playing early access games because they don’t want to deal with little content that is buggy, which is understandable, I have also played games that were past the early stages and just buggy as hell. Now to dive into Flotsam which if you didn’t know Flotsam means debris that is floating around, pretty great name for a floating garbage town survival game.Let me tell you about the graphics because honestly,
