Matching and mechs, steampunk style – Ironcast review

The year is 1886 and a war is being waged between the British and the French over a power source called Voltite. This new, clean energy was developed by the French, but because they kept it to themselves, the British resorted to stealing some of it. This resulted in mechs

A tad undercooked: Overcooked: Special Edition review

Yes: the ‘undercooked’ pun is overplayed. I have no regrets. When a game creator lands on a truly excellent gameplay concept, it breeds creativity and excitement; a newly tapped wellspring of potential gushes out interesting scenarios to explore and flesh out. Ghost Town Games’ 2016 title Overcooked repeatedly proves its

I need a bug zapper – Gunheart VR Early Access preview

I’m always a little leery of Early Access in VR. Titles tend to be more tech demo than game, and many of them end up sitting in that Early Access state in perpetuity with little plan or hint of a full release date. Tackling Gunheart on the day it

Solid price and features – ENHANCE Voltaic Blackout mouse review

We review a lot of hardware around here, and oftentimes it tends to be the bleeding edge. That said, there are more than a few of you asking for something more value-priced or mid-range when it comes to peripherals. I’ve recently found myself in the market for a new

A Classy Way to Chase Tail: Purrrlock Holmes Review

Purrrlock Holmes sets its aims high, attempting to straddle several lines that send similar games into well-known pitfalls. It tries to be a deduction game that is both cerebral and approachable. It tries to be semi-cooperative, encouraging players to work together but granting ultimate victory to a sole player. Most

(Space)walking simulator: Tacoma review

Tacoma immediately harkens back to the meditative exploration of its Fullbright Company predecessor, Gone Home. In essence, both games are walking simulators that ask players to construct an understanding of specific settings and the characters who inhabit them. But as much as Tacoma attempts to deviate from its predecessor — invigorating
