  • Monolith

    Monolith

    Monolith by Animation Arts is a point and click adventure that thrusts players into the space suit of Tessa Carter, a research expedition leader who finds herself crash landed on an unknown planet.

  • Codename: Ocean Keeper

    Codename: Ocean Keeper

    Codename: Ocean Keeper is a roguelike, bullet hell, dungeon crawler-type game that comes to us from the Ukrainian studio RetroStyle Games. My initial impression of the game was great, as it took me back to my days on the school computers playing a game called Motherload circa Miniclip.com. Shoutout to all those Motherlovers out there.…

  • Noreya: The Gold Project

    Noreya: The Gold Project

    Noreya: The Gold Project is an indie Metroidvania of impressive scale – does it turn out to be a shimmering treasure or just fools gold?

    We Were Here

    After enjoying the latest two games in the series, Drew and Gaz jump back in time and clear the original We Were Here from the backlog!
