Absolum Review – A Roguelite Beat ’Em Up That Transcends Its Genre

Introduction From the very first moments, Absolum understands the importance of a strong first impression—and it absolutely nails it.

Ball x Pit Review – A Brilliant Roguelike Mashup Roguelike That Turns Breakout Into Pure Addiction

9 Kings Review – A Roguelike Kingdom Builder That Turns “One More Turn” Into an Addiction

Introduction I’m permanently at war with my gaming backlog, and like most wars of attrition, I’m losing badly. New releases keep piling on while older games stare back at me from a meticulously organized spreadsheet—ranked, categorized, and quietly judging me. Slot one is comfort food: roguelikes and sports games for decompression. Slot two is experimentation.…

Eternal Strands Review: A Game of Many Inspirations

Eternal Strands Review: A Game of Many Inspirations I remember when I first heard about Eternal Strands.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector Review – A Thought-Provoking Space Odyssey

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector Review – A Thought-Provoking Space Odyssey I never played the first Citizen Sleeper.

Nunholy Review – A Spicy Hades-Inspired Roguelike That’s Better Than It Has Any Right to Be

Introduction When I first saw Nunholy, I’ll be honest—I absolutely thought it was a “don’t-play-this-when-anyone-else-is-in-the-room” kind of game. The anime-inspired cover art, the character designs, and the general vibe screamed this is going to get you some looks. But then I saw two things that immediately forced me to reconsider: a Very Positive rating on…

Thank Goodness You’re Here

Thank Goodness You’re Here Review: Weirdest Adventure of the Year? I had never played a game where a man offered me some sausage through a hole in a fence, at least that was until I played Thank Goodness You’re Here. After that particular incident, I came to the conclusion that Ted Lasso had not quite…

Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers Review – A Blackjack Roguelike That Deals a Strong Hand (But Doesn’t Beat the House) Introduction As a self-proclaimed roguelike sicko, resisting a new entry in the genre is basically impossible for me.
