Three times a year, the company behind Steam, Valve Software, holds an event to showcase a plethora of upcoming games that are coming to the platform. These events, each of them being called Steam Next Fest, are there to exhibit these games with playable demos. The developers behind these demos use this event to show off either their first demo or
Read MoreI’ve always tended to gravitate towards wholesome and cozy games, but with the abundance of games from those categories, it’s getting more difficult to find the ones right for me. From special events hosted on Steam showcasing a swath of games to publishers and organizations doing the same thing by having “Directs” on Twitch and YouTube, it’s a lot. One of
Read MoreBefore playing Dosa Divas, I had not yet heard of developer Outerloop Games. This makes me a bit sad because, after experiencing what they’re capable of, I feel like I’ve missed out on so much regarding their previous titles. The style and design of Dosa Divas, and even by looking at their older titles, is a sight to behold. While I

But gaming never truly found a consistent way to reinvent him after the legendary era of GoldenEye 007, and some low-budget games were made just to keep the
Read MoreI recently had the pleasure of playing the new exploration game Duck Side of the Moon, both developed and published by Starbrew Games. You’ll take on an adventurous space faring duck named Doug, as you try to fix his ship while trying to find a new homeworld. After crash landing on an alien world, you’ll make new friends and do relaxing
Read MoreEvery so often it’s difficult to write a review like this, especially when it’s a release I had heavily anticipated for over six months. When you play the demo of an upcoming roguelike deckbuilder (the loosest of the definition), you’re blown away by the entire package so much that you immediately throw it onto your wishlist. You go back time after
Read MoreWhen indie game developer Luca Galante released his first game, Vampire Survivors, in early access back in 2021, it wasn’t an immediate hit. Once streamers took notice, the game rocketed to the top of the charts on Steam, and it eventually morphed into the game most people love and adore. While the game initially came with dozens of characters, a wide
