Becastled Review

The art style and core gameplay loop of Becastled are great.

Castle of Heart: Retold Review

Castle of Heart: Retold rounds off a few rough edges from the original. However, it remains a run of the mill platformer which, despite the intriguing affliction Svaran carries, does little else to innovate or differentiate. 

Kill the Brickman Review

Kill the Brickman’s attempt to add a roguelike to a brick-breaker is an inventive idea, but not the best execution of it. It lacks the complexity of a properly good roguelike and is hampered by some poor controls and shallow gameplay. There is fun to be had, but only in small doses.

The Outer Worlds 2 Review

The Outer Worlds 2 is as good as the original game, and dare I say even a little bit better.

Amanda the Adventurer 2 Review
