Minds Beneath Us is a compelling cyberpunk story about AI and free will

SHOULD I PLAY MINDS BENEATH US? This is definitely one to check out if you’re interested in adventure games or cyberpunk stories. Minds Beneath Us is a modern, more down-to-earth spin on Ghost in the Shell. It’s set a couple decades in the future in an unnamed city in Asia where AI controls many aspects of daily lives and shadowy agencies use data ghosts to possess targets and spy on their enemies. It’s stylish and atmospheric, and the story had me hooked right away—even though I found some of the pixel-hunting a bit tedious.

A fast-paced cyberpunk roguelite shooter that does everything right - Deadlink Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Deadlink is a sci-fi roguelite shooter that takes place in a futuristic world with robots, augmented humans, and greedy mega corporations. This visually stunning game perfects nearly everything a fast-paced roguelite shooter should be and adds its own spin on the genre with cyberpunk aesthetics. TIME PLAYED I played Deadlink for three hours. I defeated the first and second boss, as well as unlocked around ten permanent upgrades. I’ve attempted and failed over a dozen runs, with each one lasting anywhere between ten to twenty-plus minutes.

This sci-fi gacha game shows promise, but it's way too early

It's always exciting to get early access to a cool-looking game, but sometimes it's a little too early. Such is the case with Equinox: Dawn's Edge, a sci-fi gacha that's available for download in an early beta form now. This game makes a good first impression with some flashy cinematics and fast-moving auto-combat, but what awaits beyond those early moments is...pretty rough. From unfinished and untranslated text to missing sound effects to framerate drops and crashes, it's clear that Equinox is not remotely ready to be played by a wide audience at this point. Heck, the game didn't even give me an awesome cinematic when I pulled the gacha. How is a gacha game supposed to get people hyped to spend money without that?!

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

Lightyear Frontier is Stardew Valley with mechs on an open-world alien planet

SHOULD I PLAY LIGHTYEAR FRONTIER? If you’re a fan of farming and crafting games, you should definitely add this title to your wishlist. Lightyear Frontier is an open world farming game with a sci-fi twist. After landing on a distant planet, you can build a homestead, farm alien crops, and restore the local ecosystem. I had a great time playing through the demo on my own, and I can’t wait to try the multiplayer when the full game is out.

Uncover creepy radio signals in this sci-fi horror game - Oxenfree II: Lost Signals Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of sci-fi, analog horror, or just like narrative-focused games. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a direct sequel to the original Oxenfree, but it’s surprisingly friendly to newcomers. Set five years after the first game, Lost Signals follows two brand-new characters: small town handyman Jacob and stoic screw-up Riley. There are moments that will hit harder if you’ve played the original, but it’s not overly reliant on old material, and it should make for a satisfying experience even if you treat it as a standalone game.

[Exclusive interview] Explore and survive in Sci-fi city-builder Fake Future
Excellent game. Apart from the camera angle need to be improved and the character's movement is a little stiff, Almost no other shortcomings. Although I'm not a fan of the series Star War, hahaha, I prefer the Marvel. But the game is quite well done. Deserve to a game franchise of Star War. About the gameplay, you can basically think of him as Overwatch, a multiplayer shooter game with character skills. You can choose assassin, damage, supporter, and tank if you want. The modes are also very varied, Conquer the point or deliver the vehicle. The scene is well-design. There are many bunkers that can be used and items can be interactive.

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

This horror game set on Mars is giving me Alien vibes in the best way

I hadn't heard much about upcoming horror game Fort Solis until I saw the above trailer, but watch this thing and try not to get hyped. The game takes place on a mysteriously deserted mining base on Mars, and players take on the role of an astronaut named Jake sent to investigate what happened. The trailer leaves it unclear what the actual threat lurking within Fort Solis is, which is great in my opinion. Let me be surprised when I play the actual game! But whatever it is, I'm getting

Heaven Dust 2: Striking Similarity to the Original

In 2020, the video game "Heaven Dust" boldly posed the inquiry, "What would happen if "Resident Evil 1" were presented with a top-down camera perspective?" The resultant offering manifested as a proficient action-adventure, notably more accessible than its muse due to the perpetual visibility of zombies. Presently, the emergence of "Heaven Dust 2" initiates a subsequent query—"What if the "Heaven Dust" narrative unfolded within a more expansive mansion?" Consequently, this sequel lacks the endearing qualities found in its forerunner. "Heaven Dust 2" unfolds in the aftermath of its predecessor, with the protagonist, Steve, awakening from the cryo pod wherein he had been confined after an abduction by corporate operatives. He discovers himself within another mansion besieged by rampant zombies. Regrettably, those anticipating a setting akin to a city immersed in a zombocalypse reminiscent of "Resident Evil 2" will likely find themselves disillusioned by the sequel's thematic choice.

A cool stealth-tactics Stargate game was definitely not on my 2024 bingo card

SHOULD I PLAY STARGATE: TIMEKEEPERS? Probably! For one thing, the first mission is free, so there’s no harm in trying it out. That said, Stargate: Timekeepers is a real-time stealth tactics game that’s very much in the tradition of Mimimi Games’ Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III, and Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. If you dug any of those games, you’ll probably like Stargate: Timekeepers—although Slitherine’s sci-fi tie-in lacks the polish and user friendliness that Mimimi perfected over its run.

Calling all Undertale fans! Atlas Wept is a quirky pixel art RPG about empathy and robot dogs

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.

Star Wars: Hunters - Needs Some Work; To Be Great!

So from my first experience I knew this game was special it reminded me of a better version of Battlefront do I still feel that way? Yes even though the game is still in it's development stages it a great game with good macanics, graphics, controls, cons though are the fact that it currently has limited character selection choices, lack of map selections, the audio screams at you needs to be optimized,  the AI is more like AD (artifical dummy) the ones on your team will literally help the opposite team win. Outside of those glaring problems this game is a must have for any shooter fan especially if your a fan of the Star Wars Franchise.

CYBER PUNK 2077 (2.1) It's FINALLY happening!

Game: CYBER PUNK 2077 Platform: PC, XBOX, X/S, PS4, PS5 Genre: Action-Adventure, Open World, Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk Released: December 10th, 2020 Overview Not a big fan of the game and dislike individuals who think it's good? That's a reasonable judgment, given the road they chose by releasing it as an unfinished product, and I agree that it's a massive waste of time to assist developers many years later, since it simply fuels their drive to do it again, potentially causing many other developers to dip their toes in money with no product mentality.

A tense sci-fi walking simulator that you can finish in one sitting - Fort Solis Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.
