Wave Break Review: Pretending It’s A Superman
Aesthetically and sonically, Wave Break radiates a synth wave filled heart. But, brutal difficulty in its gameplay can easily lead that heart to break.
Backbone Review: An Unfortunate Identity Crisis
While Backbone’s writing left a sense of disconnection between its characters and narrative themes, an unmatched artistic direction as well as a strong third act is worth the price of admission into this dark, dystopian retro future.
Umurangi Generation Review: Finding Beauty Within Languishing Chaos
Umurangi Generation’s haunting narrative is exquisitely told purely by existing within the lush world Origame Digital has crafted. Paired with an engaging gameplay loop and bombastic score, its one you’ll never want to leave.
Dark Nights with Poe and Munro Review: Supernatural Hodge Podge
D’Avekki Studios’s Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is without a doubt an enjoyable supernatural hodge podge of ideas; some interesting, some not so much. While D’Avekki seems very aware of what they are making and don't stray away from it, a lot of what they try falls short.
Skate City Review: Kick, Push; How Do I Coast?
Skate City delivers a simplistic entry level approach to the genre coupled with a can-do mentality and constant sense of fulfillment. However, this sense of fulfillment falls solely on the player to discover hidden features.
Hitchhiker Review: A Peculiar, Yet Triumphant Ride
Hitchhiker is a story told in the medium it was meant for. It’s peculiar, heavy at times, but lovely throughout without many dull moments. While gameplay isn’t king here, the gripping narrative is well worth the price of admission.
Genesis Noir Review: A Convoluted Cosmic Tale
Genesis Noir is a mixed bag of elements. Outside of the stunning aesthetic and presentation, the game doesn’t do much else cohesively.

Everhood is a fantastic game that pushes the boundary of expectations in storytelling and rhythm games. It’s that unique piece of art that you can hardly describe, but can’t stop looking at.
Maquette Review: More Than Friends
With their debut title, Graceful Machine finds balance in eloquently tying intricate gameplay and modest narrative together with the theme of scale. Maquette is a dream for those seeking an intelligent and unique challenge, as well as those who wish to experience a purely human story.
Speed Limit Review: A Child’s Action Flick Fever Dream
With its action packed fever dream vibe, Speed Limit delivers a fast paced gameplay experience welcoming players to simply jump in and have a good time.
NUTS Review: Tinker Tailor Squirrel Spy
With hyper-stylized visuals, a simple yet engaging gameplay loop, and a narrative enriched by production design, NUTS is an utter delight. But, lack of accessibility options and performance issues on Nintendo Switch packages a full recommendation with slight caveats.

Against all odds and hype, Bugsnax has exceeded expectations by delivering an impactful, unpredictable story with rich characters I will fondly remember.
