Manairons Review
Manairons is a game that absolutely piqued my interest solely off the visual whimsy and intrigue it seemed to offer at first glace. A gorgeous art-style not visited as often as I'd like, the announcement trailer gave me a little tug. I've always been a sucker for dark whimsy, and this game looked like it might just fit that bill. While visuals can't provide a full carry on titles, the concept itself looked interesting and unique. That uniqueness, really starts from the developmental level.Developed by both 3Cat and Jandusoft. Of note, Jandusoft is a developer/publisher out of Barcelona, Spain that seems

Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition Review
Death is something that, often, we try to avoid in every way, shape, and form. It's discomfort; cold and cruel. It often greets us when we least expect it with open arms, touching those around us suddenly, ruthlessly, without mercy- and leaves a trail of Emptiness and Despair in it's wake. Often we associate thoughts of Death as something quick, cold and calculating. However, despite SpiritFarer: Farewell Edition being almost entirely about Death, and many of the emotions it entails, it is really none of the afore mentioned things. While it may be wrapped in a beautifully gorgeous hand drawn facade,

Medieval Crafter: Blacksmith Review
The smell of ash and soot fill the air- the unforgiving heat enveloping your short form. Droplets careen down your brow, carving out lighter markings where the soot once clung. The bead of moisture gets lost in the dense scruff of your beard as you wipe the sweat away in an attempt to keep it from your eyes before raising the hammer once more. Another swing, landing with a resonant chorus. You couldn't just hear the metal, you could taste it. Smell it. Breathe it. Inhale- the hammer rises.Exhale- the hammer falls.CLANG!Again. The rhythm thrums like the very blood in your

Yooka-Re-Playlee Review
In 2017, Playtonic Games released what was to be considered a spiritual successor to the well-loved Banjo-Kazooie series: Yooka-Laylee. After kickstarting the project with a whopping 2 million, it was met with plenty of media attention, though initially it had mixed reviews. Despite the divide on if it's nostalgia of hardcore collectathon platforming was enough to carry it- it sits pretty on Steam with mostly positive reviews. Now , here we are quite a few years later, presented with Yooka Re-Playlee. Supposedly: "...packed with new moves, more story, exciting challenges, hidden secrets, and more than double the collectibles to uncover..." how will

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
