Oftentimes, games that aim to capture some sort of 16-bit nostalgia can be hit and miss. The simple things need to be tight and there needs to be a coherent vision. As such, I was a pinch apprehensive about Pixadome’s Chenso Club. So did it make me feel young again, whilst also engaging my 30-some-old year self? […]
The One Who Waits has been trapped by four Bishops of the Old Faith, the same four Bishops that killed you. Fortunately, this is only the start of Cult of the Lamb. Whether it’s out of service to the dark god for his help, for revenge or just to survive, your mission is to release […]
Rougelike deckbuilding minigolf—those three words were all it took to entice me to give Golfie from developer Triheart Studios a try.

Fortunately, that’s precisely what I got, despite a few caveats. Decisions that made the game needlessly frustrating. I do want to point to the out-of-the-box approach though. It was refreshing […]
PLANT A POTATO AND SHOOT A BUNNY! While enjoying a peaceful romp in Stardew Valley, a thought cropped up. One thing that would round this experience out would be if I could shoot things.
