Venba review — A poem for Tamil cuisine

Raising a kid is hard enough, but doing so when you’re far from home must be even tougher. Venba is a game that seeks to explore this idea, following the titular character, her husband Paavalan, and their son Kavin throughout several points in her life. Venba uses traditional Tamil

Lisa: The Painful & The Joyful – Definitive Edition review — An exercise in pain

I’ve always described Lisa: The Painful and its DLC epilogue, Lisa: The Joyful, as amazing games I would never recommend to anyone ever. They’re fascinating explorations of the cycle of abuse and great instances of choices in the narrative directly affecting gameplay, but it takes a certain kind

Reviews   -   Aug 19, 2023 En Garde! review — Delightful duelist

Whenever the Count-Duke is up to something, the swashbuckling Adalia de Volador is there to stop him. His latest conspiracies are no different. Our heroine will steal from the rich to give to the poor, defeat evil wherever it may rise, and all while having a witty repartee on hand.

Growing beyond tragedy with the Timewarp Quadrilogy — Fandom Underground

Fandom Underground has given me the greatest insight I could ask for into the dichotomy between art as personal expression and art as commercial product. Both come with limitations and downsides.

After a surprise release the other day, the long anticipated sequel is now in our hands, starring a new protagonist in a brand new setting with unique and interesting powers. After crash-landing her airship in Wyrmheim,

Strayed Lights review — A journey of self reflection

A good parry in a video game is my weakness. My favorite DMC style is Royal Guard, I’ve watched that one famous Street Fighter clip 100 times, and I play every Fromsoft game with a kite shield. It’s an action that, when done right, just feels so good
