The Binding of Isaac meets Dark Souls in this addictive dungeon crawler

SHOULD I PLAY DEVIL SLAYER RAKSASI? Totally play this. Devil Slayer Raksasi takes the top-down roguelite approach of The Binding of Isaac and layers on a dark fantasy vibe that would be at home in a FromSoft game.

Let's Play Dead Cells (Alpha) - PART 2: Dodgey AF | Graeme Games

Let's Play Dead Cells Dead Cells gameplay combines the combat oriented action of a Metroidvania, with the death and progressions systems of a rogue-like. Dead Cells looks gorgeous, and plays like a dream. I loved it immediately! Dead Cells download ► I hope you enjoy this Dead Cells walkthrough. Keep in mind Dead Cells is currently still in Alpha, so this is only really a demo. Collect Cells and Blueprints, then bring them to the collector to provide some semi-permanent progression in the game!

Darkest Dungeon mixed with Bejeweled is a surprisingly solid combo

If the art style in this screenshot looks familiar, it's probably because you've played or at least seen footage of the great, super-challenging roguelike Darkest Dungeon. The art for Path of Puzzles looks so similar to Darkest Dungeon that it's got to be just teetering on the edge of being literally copied from that art style. That said, the reason the Darkest Dungeon-esque art stands out so much is that it's a striking, powerful aesthetic, and that remains true in Path of Puzzles as well. And it's not just the art that this game shares in common with Darkest Dungeon!

Cyberpunk 2077 meets Sekiro in this action-packed 2D platformer

SHOULD I PLAY NINE SOLS? Play it. In its current demo version, Nine Sols offers less than an hour of great storytelling and fun hack-and-slash gameplay, but it’s totally worth the experience. While a few balancing issues need to be addressed before the full release, Nine Sols has become one of my most anticipated games for next year. TIME PLAYED I played Nine Sols for forty minutes, which was enough time to complete the entire demo, including one boss fight. The demo took me through most of the first chapter of the story, and I’m eager to see how the plot opens up from here when the full game comes out.

This game in general is amazing. Sure, the graphics don't look top notch but you got to remember that this game is the father of FPS games. I love how smooth it feels to play an old game on a new phone and I just love going back to play some of my favorite old games. I love this game and definitely recommend this game to everyone who likes to play or is looking for good retro games from the 90's

One of the best modern Metroidvanias gets an even better sequel - Blasphemous 2 Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY BLASPHEMOUS 2? This is the easiest “YES” I’ve given in ages, unless you can't handle how nasty it is. Blasphemous 2 is a sequel to what was already one of the best and most memorable Metroidvanias of the modern era. But much more than just retreading the exact same territory, this sequel builds wisely on the strengths of the first game. It’s not just a long adventure and not just a return to the disturbing, gothic world of 2019’s

Lethal Company Where should I start ? I couldn't even say a bad thing about this game but I'll try ! 📖 Storyline: You wake up in a spaceship with almost no info about why you are here other than a notepad explaning you the basics of the game, you can find some notepad on the planets expanding the lore further but I'll let you discover it, in the company you are working for, you have to find scraps on all the planets to sell them, the problem is that there is a quota of money you have to do and the time is limited so you better hurry up and take all the scrap you can to sell, if you don't meet the quota, you'll be released in space and you'll have to start all over again and don't think it will be easy because the quota goes up everytime you meet the quota, of course you will meet different dangers while searching for scraps like giants spiders, giants and I'll let you discover the rest...

Bleak Sword DX - Simple Premise, Challenging Execution

Hey Folks, Thanks for tapping & tuning in. As it stands, I recently went through more8bit's Bleak Sword DX, a vastly expanded version of the original IOS title. Boasting a fittingly bleak world, depicted in a lo-fi style- the game endeavours to provide a suitably challenging hack & slash experience for would-be heroes. But does it succeed at the task, or was this quest doomed from the start? Check out the video and find out. P.S.  If you want to see my other reviews, you can check out & Follow me @

Is this the next roguelite you'll be spending dozens of hours on?

It may not be as big or well-known as some other franchises launching new games this week—looking at you, Mario and Spider-Man—but Amplitude Studios' Endless series has been proving itself incredibly versatile ever since 2012's Endless Space. From fantasy to sci-fi, from strategy to tower defense, an Endless game can be whatever the developers want it to be. And this time? This time it's an action-packed roguelite with stylish visuals and an endless supply of firepower.

The challenging puzzles of Cat of Khronos had me playing with time itself - Pocket Playfest

If you really love puzzle games or want something to keep you busy during your free time, Cat of Khronos is the perfect choice. This brilliant puzzle game put me in the mind of a cat trying to get fish by manipulating time. That setup might sound cute and charming, and it is! Don’t be fooled into thinking that means Cat of Khronos is a walk in the park though. This game has perplexed me through its many well-made puzzles. And even without much in the way of guidance or help, I enjoyed the game’s tough challenges.

Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

This difficult, old-school RPG has the longest name I’ve ever seen for a video game

SHOULD I PLAY MON-YU? Let me start with a warning: despite the intriguing name and the cutesy character art, Mon-Yu is a hardcore dungeon crawler, something along the same lines as the Etrian Odyssey series. I know I’m not alone in loving that stuff, but I also know it’s not for everyone. If you are someone who also enjoys slowly filling in each square of a grid-based map, and carefully choosing your actions each turn,

DARZA'S DOMINION JUST MIGHT SCRATCH AN ITCH!

Certain individuals would rather have a relaxed experience rather than a challenging and punishing game. Such is the preference of some. Nonetheless, it is critical to comprehend why certain games must be challenging in order to be enjoyable. Why bother using a completely equipped character when there is no risk of losing that gear while tanking boss after boss in a generally boring experience? Is it not more exhilarating to combat with a sense of purpose in mind, particularly when the stakes extend over several hours or even years? There is a risk involved, which, when wagered, induces a tremendous dopamine and adrenaline high.

This game is great! The design for the game is unique and very good for visuals and gameplay wise, it’s very fun. It’s a side scroller with great combat where you can have all these different types of weapons like blood swords, a lightning whip, a giant hammer, a frying pan, a nail from another game called hollow knight as well as shields, bombs and other throwable items as well. This game is so much fun and with it being a difficult game, it adds more to how much you have to pay attention to your surroundings and figure out the enemies attack patterns. Highly recommend this game to people who like a challenge to their games but if you don’t want that then there’s another option called assist mode where it lets you change and switch around the settings so enemies do less damage and have more health and other stuff. Recommend this game to many people!
