Would you kill a princess to save the world? Slay the Princess is game about impossible choices

SHOULD I PLAY SLAY THE PRINCESS? If you have even a passing interest in choice-based games, Slay the Princess is a must-play. When the game begins, you’re on a path towards a cabin hidden deep in the woods. When you reach that cabin, you’ll find a princess, and when you meet her, a mysterious voice tells you that she’s destined to end the world. Will you slay her, or will you save her? It’s a simple enough question, but somehow, the game stretches it to endless possibilities. What happens if you start to save her, but change your mind? What if you don’t go to the cabin at all?

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

Starfield is a buggy, frustrating mess, but I love it anyway

Starfield is a pile of mismatched puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit together. That might sound like harsh criticism, but there are plenty of times when its disjointed nature works in the game’s favor. There are a million things to do in Starfield at any given point in time, so when one aspect of the game wasn’t working for me, I could just focus on something else. Directing my attention towards a specific gameplay mechanic or subplot usually made

The most original horror game I’ve played in ages - Killer Frequency Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re even the slightest fan of horror games. Killer Frequency is an incredibly unique first-person horror game where you take on the role of a small-town night-shift radio DJ. There’s just one twist: A killer is stalking the town during your shift, and all of the town’s 911 calls are being routed through to your station. This means a lot of the “action” is just standing behind a desk, picking which tunes to play and trying to keep innocent people alive with your words alone. Don’t let the limited setting fool you, though; this is a deeply creative game that kept surprising me with new challenges.

Our heads are already pounding from the insane puzzles in The Talos Principle 2

Your eyes do not deceive you. The Talos Principle 2 might be one of the prettiest games releasing this year, but it's got much more than looks going for it. This brain-busting puzzle game is sure to leave players scratching their heads and fist-pumping in triumph as they work through its many riddles. If you missed 2014's The Talos Principle, it was a shockingly great first-person puzzler—shockingly because it was created by Croteam, a developer most well-known for its very-much-

This might be the darkest visual novel we've ever seen

Everyone knows how fairy tales are supposed to go: The princess is kidnapped and locked away in a dungeon, and a brave hero comes along to save her and defeat whatever great evil was keeping her captive. Except what if it wasn't that simple? What if it was the princess herself that was the great evil? That's the question being asked by Slay the Princess, the upcoming visual novel from developer Black Tabby Games. In this game, you play as the brave hero, of course, but as the title suggests, you've actually been sent to

One sentence to summarize the quality of the game: This is the only game to actually get me to cry at a story and character deaths. The game is a realistic feeling and look into a torn apart world. Most characters react in a way you expect them to, no matter how gruesome it gets. Even if you have watched someone play this game, it is something you have to experience for yourself. 10/10 would cry again

This mix of Dungeons & Dragons and gacha is like a much better Raid: Shadow Legends

I've probably played and reviewed at least two or three dozen different gacha games at this point, but every once in a while I still manage to be really surprised and impressed by one. Dragonheir: Silent Gods is one of the most immediately intriguing and captivating gacha games I've played in ages, and one that I'm definitely planning to stick with. The first thing to know about Dragonheir is that every part of it is openly inspired by tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. In fact, the PC version of the game has even done an official collaboration with D&D! In gameplay that terms, that means characters inspired by classic western fantasy, challenging tactical battles, and

Ever wish that Disco Elysium had more minotaurs and more steampunk? Check out Sovereign Syndicate

In 2019, Disco Elysium took the gaming world by storm and showed how RPGs could focus much more on storytelling and do a much better job of emulating the feeling of playing at a tabletop. Now we're just starting to see the first wave of games that seem clearly inspired by Disco Elysium, and this one just might be the first must-play RPG of 2024. This is Sovereign Syndicate, a CRPG being made by a small indie team in Canada. Like Disco Elysium, it's an RPG that's more heavily focused on narrative and dialogue, but it also sets itself apart in some key ways. For one, it's got a unique Victorian steampunk setting that looks absolutely fantastic. Fantasy creatures like minotaurs, dwarves, and cyclopes are mixed together with grimy factories, smokestacks, and zeppelins. And it all takes place in London!

here.This game is an entirely text based rpg. It has good writing and good controls. Unlike tthe other nominations this game doesn't have stuff like animation to prop it up, I nominate this game because I feel the writing and the few in game illustrations shown is able to compete with the other AAA game nominations.

Star Trek meets Mass Effect in this choice-based adventure game - Star Trek: Resurgence Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of Star Trek or choice-based games, but consider waiting for a patch. Star Trek: Resurgence has solid writing, fleshed-out characters, and high-impact decision-making but technical issues detracted my overall experience. The quality of its story helped make up for some of the gameplay’s shortcomings, but there were still times when it felt frustrating to play. At its best, the game reminded me of the first

Post-apocalyptic survival Extreme survival game and environment grade where survival is for the fittest. However, it is not always about using force, you must also use intelligence to survive day to day, night to night of nocturnal predators and other survivors that stalk the immense map. This is where the story of Emberland begins, a place where a virus invades people's minds, transforming them into the living dead... it is unknown where it came from, but scientists find a mysterious rock and call it "Ember"

World of Horror is the closest thing to a Junji Ito story in game form, and it's finally almost done

We're always looking for the perfect game for the Halloween season, and it doesn't get much more perfect than World of Horror. In the works for years now, World of Horror is like a love letter to everything about the horror genre—but with a special focus on the unsettling body horror of manga artist Junji Ito and the unspeakable cosmic horror of author H.P. Lovecraft. What's most amazing about World of Horror is what it accomplishes with so little, though. The visuals are extremely lo-fi—in fact, the game's black-and-white art was literally created using MS Paint! Despite those humble tools, though, solo developer Panstasz has created some memorable and truly disturbing imagery.

FMV games are the perfect way to solve a good mystery

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for mysteries. There’s a puzzle-solving element to a good whodunit that makes it feel like a game, even when I’m actually reading a book or watching a movie. The best mysteries are a challenge between me and the detective, and they’re a blast to experience, even if I’m the one that loses. Lately, I’ve been keeping myself busy with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story

A decent game but kinda basic it's missing that something

Pros You won't be able to create a character. The game is choosing for you with name/image/attributes Graphics are kinda old school and neat If you die you can resurrect by either using gems or an AD There are some choices that have some impact like when you meet the elf that helps you (Irelle) kill the giant and later down the road you can choose to side either with elves or pioneers and your 'friend' is in there also plus Majet that helped you kill The spider woman quest You can marry her if you do it right too

MINDS BENEATH US REVIEW - A THRILLER OF MORAL CHOICES!

Whether you appreciate games for their storylines, world-building, or exciting action sequences, their capacity to entice you into their intricate worlds is often times a very challenging ordeal, especially when they are presented in a visually simple way, there are a variety of reasons why I could see you really getting into the M.B.U universe. Although there were times when the gameplay was slow, and I mean very slow, I truly appreciated everything that the game had to offer as a morally right/wrong choice.

NOBODY WANTS TO DIE - A THRILLING DETECTIVE NOIR

While it may be a little too slow and boring for someone hoping for extremely exciting and heart-pounding action and fighting, it's still a terrific experience for those searching for something more paced out with engaging narrative voice acting when it comes to investigating mysterious cases with the futuristic 1940s aesthetic.

This action-RPG/dating sim captures the feel of Persona, and you can try it for yourself now

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Absolutely play the demo if you have any love for the Persona franchise, JRPGs in general, or dating and social sims that have some combat on the side. Eternights is an upcoming mix of action-RPG and dating sim set in a grim future where most of humanity has been suddenly turned into horrifying monsters. It borrows heavily from the Persona series in style, presentation, and themes, but it also manages to be more than just a clone thanks to sharp writing and a fun combat system.
