Gates of Eden Review

In what is described by developer Li Create as "Doom But in Heaven", I found myself easily suckered into giving their first title Gates of Eden a shot. Boasting a gorgeous and fanciful visual style, I think this was the sweet poison that initially drew me in, like honied words for The Deceiver himself. With such a fantastic visual direction, and a very interesting pretense for a plot, surely there is a (in the exact words of the Li Creates website) "...polished and emotionally resonant experience(s)" to be had... right?What you see is what you get. A single screen, your levels that

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Review

Time to dive into Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which was developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America and released on PC on 6 July 2021. Are you guys ready for this one? After the amazing experience I had with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (which I also reviewed right here: LINK), my expectations were really high this time!Once again, we’re back with Adol Christin, the red-haired adventurer. This time, he arrives in the city of Balduq… and gets arrested right away. Not a great start, huh?

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

The RPG Review

Eager to try my hand at something outside of my usual realm, I caught wind of what is self-described as  "Minimalistic Skyrim + West of Loathing + Supraland". Toss all that in a pickle jar, shake it up, and you're left with The RPG: A game that takes ...well. Nothing all too seriously. Developed by Dionysus Acroreites, this looks to be the first title they've put out. And honestly, a fairly entertaining one, at that! With a bright and colorful pallete, as well as a very cartoonish visual style, its a unique and memorable (though somewhat short) game- though that isn't

Animal Shelter Simulator 2 Review

The developers behind Animal Shelter Simulator return to the field with Animal Shelter Simulator 2. Though it looks like a majority of games by Games Incubator tend to lean mixed, Animal Simulator was a fair success for them. Though I myself did not play the introductory title, I did hear good things, and watches some gameplay footage on my own time. Some of the portions of the game that had previously been DLC have been incorporated into the core game (like puppies and kittens). I myself have not played the first game, but looking over some of the footage, it is
