DEVIL DAGGERS REVIEW
Devil Daggers, a debut from the demonic developer team Sorath, brings all new meaning to the definition of “hellish”. The player is pitted against a seemingly endless onslaught of hellish legions in a hellish black abyssal arena – and it’s hellishly difficult. Inspired by the 90s aesthetic sported byQuake and Doom, Devil Daggers is guaranteed to make you suffer, but assuredly entertain you in the ...[Read More]
CALENDULA REVIEW
There’s been a lot of navel gazing going on in video games lately. Many recent titles have explored the role of the player, their relationship with developers, and subverted the conventions we’ve come to expect from games. The term meta is often used as a way of describing this type of self aware experience. Calendula, the new game from Blooming Bud Studios, ticks all the necessary boxes for the t...[Read More]
OXENFREE REVIEW

It’s rare that a game takes a long time with setting up their world or gameplay before getting into the meat of it. The Elder Scrolls usually have a quick action sequence to teach you the basics before shoving you out in the world, Ori and the Blind Forest probably has one of the longest i...[Read More]
REVEAL THE DEEP REVIEW
Reveal the Deep, by Scottish developers Lazy Monday Games, is a genuinely terrifying exploration game where you take the place of a deep-sea diver exploring the sunken wreck of the SS Euridice all the way at the bottom of the ocean. This game is dark, claustrophobic, and one of the best horror experiences I’ve played on steam in quite a while. This review contains a few minor spoilers that might r...[Read More]
