Blasphemy! It’s a term that is usually cried in anger and disbelief at heretics that would dare to talk ill of someone’s deity reigning down from above. However, in indie gaming terms, the term ‘Blasphemous’ is one that many welcome with open arms alongside other fun-to-say words like ‘wheelbarrow’ or ‘hullabaloo,’ and that is purely …
I adore Management Sims. Between growing unfathomably complicated factories in Factorio to catering to the dark whims of Cult of the Lamb’s cute creatures, I cherish the micro-managing thrill of developing a small community into a thriving town or city. Even so, these sims have grown rather formulaic in focusing on keeping our followers healthy, …

Fun fact about me – I adore games where you have a journal. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something special about collecting my game experiences in a journal for me to peruse as I play. I recently played Dordogne, and the journal was one of the saving graces that kept my attention through …

The 2023 Wholesome Direct showcase was an incredibly overwhelming event. They squeezed 70 games into just half an hour, making it hard to keep track of any new titles. However, some great games amongst it managed to catch my eye despite the chaos. One that immediately stood out to me was Sticky Business. I’m a …

Indie games, for the most part, are a branch of gaming that rarely penetrates the mainstream zeitgeist. No matter how promising a new indie seems to be, they usually only achieve a cult following. Probably because AAA studios are more than happy to spend millions on ridiculous ad campaigns, which the plucky little indie studios …
I’ve never been a massive fan of the butterfly effect; every choice matters sub-genre. I love a narrative-driven game as much as the next guy. I’d even say I’m one of the few who still yearn for more walking simulators. But for the most part, I really struggle to categorize these specific narrative titles as …

 I’ll let you guys into a little secret – I wasn’t supposed to play GYLT. We have an awesome team of writers here, and one of my colleagues was initially supposed to review GYLT. However, the review code that came through was for Xbox, and the editor knew that was my console of choice. …
