Lasers is a free-to-play multiplayer platformer that drops all subtlety in favor of a ruthless competition where the losers get cut into tiny, bloody pieces. It’s a mix of Fall Guys with those popular obby games from Roblox, with a hint of Squid Game thrown in for good, violent measure. The concept is meant to be addictive and instantly playable, but some flaws prevent it from becoming the go-to game for those looking for a hair-tearing challenge.Buffed Up GladiatorsClearly developed by a small indie team, Lasers doesn’t hold back on its adult nature. Violence is patent in almost every step, as

While glancing through some upcoming games on Steam, my eyes caught on the dark, occult comic-style artwork of Exilium and I had to give the demo a try. Planned for release by Lonch.me later this year, the game is described as an "atmospheric point & click project" in which you will "face demons and occult rituals." I love a good point & click adventure, so I started the game with enthusiasm.It soon became clear that the game wasn't quite what I was expecting from the description. It does use a point & click interface (along with some camera side-scrolling that you

Not to be confused with the acclaimed horror movie released in 2005, The Descent is a trip down a mysterious mine riddled with death, disappearances, and other occurrences that the authorities can’t quite grasp. As an investigator, you go down the mine and try to reach the literal bottom of the mystery in this walking horror sim, a decent attempt at the genre but one that has the quirky habit of throwing scares at you to make sure that you didn’t fall asleep in the meantime. It’s extremely slow-paced, rigid in design, and gets tiresome before its short narrative is over.A

Micegard is a short adventure game in which you control a mouse, or multiple mice, to save their village from the frogs. Sounds like a fever dream, but the game surprised me with how straight forward it was. And by the way, when I say it's short, I mean really short - it took me 100 minutes to do everything in the game, so you're not really buying a game to grind or play long term. It's a short story you can complete in one sitting, and there's nothing wrong with that.The gameplay is simple, but effective enough so it doesn't

City builder games have had quite of a comeback for the past few years, most notably with the release of Cities: Skylines 2. Most of the games have been playing it safe with very little deviations in the formula, that's why I was glad to see that Roots of Yggdrasil is a Roguelike city builder set in Nordic mythology. If the genre mash up sounds weird to you, it kind of is, until you get used to it.The main objective of the game is, build different structures to get different resources to get to the Yggdrasil seed, each island you'll need

Cookie Cutter is a new cartoon Metroidvania that ticks all the expected boxes and does so with a hefty dose of brutality and mature humor. It’s hand-drawn class at the service of an imminently playable platformer, one that follows the rules of the genre and gets more versatile as you unlock additional abilities. The addictive loop and fun main character turn this into a game that you should not miss if you are into love-driven androids out for a vengeance.Cherry on TopDescribed as Tarantino meets Japanese manga, Cookie Cutter does shine through some features out of these inspirations. The exaggerated violence

Good attempt but poor execution is one way to describe Vaudeville’s ambitions at creating a solid and engaging detective game. Despite the exciting times for AI-generated content, this is a good way to show that we’re still not quite there, a few years separating players from dreaming of such a game concept and actually experiencing it in a convincing way. Vaudeville is a shallow event of chatting with robots seasoned by a murder mystery that is likely to both frustrate and unintentionally make you laugh in equal measure.“I Don’t Feel Comfortable Talking About That”The first thing that should be made clear
