This first-person parkour game is the perfect follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

SHOULD I PLAY GHOSTRUNNER 2? If you love the cyberpunk aesthetic or are looking for something with a similar vibe to play after wrapping up Cyberpunk 2077’s new DLC, then yes, definitely give this one a shot. Ghostrunner 2 is the sequel to a first-person sci-fi ninja game that launched back in 2020. That first game was already an awesome, adrenaline-pumping journey through a messed up neon future, but this one amps everything up to eleven. It is a supremely challenging, brutal, and beautiful game that deserves your attention.

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,

Binding of Issac meets Vampire Survivors in this busted bullet hell roguelike

SHOULD I PLAY TIME TO STRIKE? If you like finding ways to break your favorite games, stop what you’re doing and download the Time to Strike demo right now. This bullet hell roguelike starts off simple, but it lets you mod your weapons in some truly insane ways. Want a gun that spawns explosive critters? How about a baseball bat that fires shurikens? Time of Strike lets you do all that and more, and it’s a blast. Finding the best weapon synergies felt like solving a puzzle, and that made putting together an overpowered build extremely satisfying.

Remember Stargate? It's back—in real-time tactical game form!

For a certain type of dorky kid growing up in the '90s, the Stargate franchise was a formative gateway into goofy-yet-fun, low-budget sci-fi adventures. Beginning with the 1994 movie Stargate, the series quickly expanded out into multiple TV shows, comics, cartoons, books, and yes, video games. And while there hasn't been much going on with this IP in recent years, that's finally changing this week, as an all-new Stargate game has just launched...and you can even play the first mission for free.

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!
Darkest Dungeon mixed with Bejeweled is a surprisingly solid combo
A few years ago I played this game and it was like I dipped my feet inside some fresh water, it was so new and fun yet so hard to understand why it felt good. Now I understand why this game was so amazing even though I played multiple copies like it, it was the retro style and the toughest that made it so great. I'm glad I came back to it after 3 years, wished they updated. The controls were the only thing that made the game unjoyable which in turn made me rage and leave the game for which I thought was gonna be forever, forgotten, but after some years I kept thinking about it over & over like a broken record because I had forgotten the name but luckily my play store history remembered it and I found it once again.

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.

Wanna get to level 9999? Disgaea 7 is as over-the-top as RPGs get, and that's a good thing

SHOULD I PLAY DISGAEA 7? Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is a return to form for the Disgaea series. It’s a perfect blend of grinding, boundary-breaking gameplay, and silly storytelling. If you’re not a fan of the franchise, it probably won’t win you over, but if you’ve enjoyed other Disgaea titles or are curious about the series, this is a game you won’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed every second I’ve spent with

What if an MMO had permadeath and bullet hell combat? Welcome to Darza’s Dominion

SHOULD I PLAY DARZA’S DOMINION? If you’re looking for a unique take on MMOs, Darza’s Dominion might be worth checking out, but I’d strongly recommend playing the PC version rather than mobile. This action-RPG mixes elements of massively multiplayer games with bullet hell action, permadeath, and pixel art. It makes for a very original experience, even compared to other retro MMOs like Realm of the Mad God

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!

It's just perfect!

Yes, yes, you should play this game! I want to share with you my expert opinion — after all, I have played Dead Cells on PC and since the release on phones. I can say that at the beginning of the release of this game there were a lot of unpleasant bugs and even crashes, but after numerous updates, the game has become just fine! About graphics — Cool pixel art, almost as good as the PC version. About the control — The usual control is quite convenient and you get used to it quickly, also in the settings you can customize it for yourself.  I can also note the support of geimpads in this game as a big plus. About optimization — I tried to play on my old phone and basically play very well (but be prepared to meet with the crashes of the game). Also — there are add-ons in the game, I bought two of them and do not regret them because they are very interesting (although you can do without them) My opinion is that this is a decent port from the PC, the game has wonderful music and atmosphere, memorable enemies and locations. In general, I advise...
It's just perfect!

Best Roguelike out There? - Dead Cells Review.

If you never played Dead Cells you are missing out a lot! I was one of those people, and I am glad that I gave it a go, even though Metroidvania isnt my favorite kind of games. This is a masterpiece like no other and everyone should play it just to know how perfect roguelike game feels like. Gameplay You play as some parasite organism that takes over dead body and uses it in order to move through the dungeon. Tutorial is very short showing you just some basic things, and then you are being thrown straight into action.

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

Play a weird western with crazy cultists and one-shot kills - Kill the Crows Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS? Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ᅠ

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.

A disappointing co-op experiment for this spooky series - The Outlast Trials Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I strongly recommend skipping The Outlast Trials for now, unless you have a group of three other friends who all love the previous Outlast games and who are all available to play together at the same time. The Outlast Trials is a bold experiment for developer Red Barrels, taking the basic elements of its stealth horror franchise and adding co-op and live service elements for the first time. Unfortunately, that experiment is a failure, at least in its current state.

This retro hack-and-slash is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played - Bleak Sword DX Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it, unless you really love (and are really good at) fast-paced action games like Hades. Bleak Sword DX is an action-adventure hack-and-slash game that features a dark fantasy theme. I found its gloomy, pixel-art visual style appealing and pleasantly frightening, but most of the exhilaration I felt while playing was dragged down by punishing and frustrating game balance.
