I was an awkward kid. I mean, heck, I’m still awkward now as I’m approaching middle age. But I have all sorts of foggy memories of growing up and encountering scenarios where I completely failed to comprehend what the “right” thing to do was. When everyone stood and clapped at the end of a performance, I was always the last one to figure it out and join in. When my family received bad news, my first instinct was always to crack a joke. Put another way, I was disastrously bad at reading the room.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

SHOULD I PLAY VOLCANO GIRL? Skip it. Volcano Girl is apparently the mobile version of Volcano Princess, a management sim about raising a young daughter to adulthood. I’ve spent a lot of time with the PC version, and the concept behind it is a lot of fun, but unfortunately, Volcano Girl is barely playable on mobile devices. The touch controls are frequently unresponsive, and some in-game commands can’t actually be completed without a mouse and keyboard. Even worse, the game doesn’t seem to be able to load an event that takes place near the end of the childhood stage, which brings all progress to halt.

Hey you! You are now the red one. What would you do next? If you read the situation correctly, you will probably choose to squat, like everyone else does. If you can't read it right, don't worry, we have a game to test your ability to read situations! Kuukiyomi, or 空気読み, is a Japanese slang, which means "read the air", if you translate it literally. In English, it means something like "read the situation".

I appreciate a good slab of bacon as much as the next person. Well, maybe not as much as the next person. In today’s bacon age, we’ve got bacon-scented candles, bacon deodorant, and even soap that looks and smells like bacon! But if you’ve made it this far into a bacon-themed review, I assume you appreciate this delicious treat too. So I’ll give you what you want and satiate your desire with a few quick bacon facts. Did you know that bacon means meat from the back of an animal? How about that bacon grease was used as glycerin to create canon shells to defeat the nazis in World War II? But most importantly, did you know that there exists a game where your entire goal is to put bacon on all manner of objects? That’s right. I’m talking about

Hey Folks, and thanks for tapping in. I recently had the pleasure of poking into Team 17 Digital's Killer Frequency - and, I found myself legitimately surprised at the shift in quality from it's Game Jam Variant. All in all, if you want to take a gander at some narrative horror, and to see how the puzzles stack up- give the video a gander. P.S.  If you want to see my other reviews, you can check out & Follow me @

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

Strange Hill is a story-driven adventure game with a lot of great ideas. You play as a young boy that rescues a talking robot that recently fell from the sky. Before long, he's fighting zombie rabbits, jumping through the sky, and uncovering incredibly weird secrets. It's a fun premise that feels straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon, but I felt like my experience was constantly being interrupted by ads.

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

👍 Pros: Fancy, fantastic graphics. Relaxing background music. 60 FPS options. 👎 Cons: İt gives very hard headhache, so you can't play a long time without stopping. 📖 Storyline: You are stuck in an appartment where you are trying to go back to your own time. You need to solve puzzles.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you like resource management and unconventional puzzle solving. Like its predecessor, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 lets players watch unsuspecting strangers and snoop on their lives. While the original Do Not Feed The Monkeys was set in a world that resembled the present day, 2099 takes things into the future, making way for some truly bizarre scenarios. While I was free to sit back and watch events as they played out, I preferred to take a more active role in the lives of the people I was spying on, collecting clues from their videos and scouring the internet for more information. Sometimes I made things better, and sometimes I made things much, much worse, but I always had a great time.

Back Again, with your latest bit of Indie Investigating. This time, it's Team 17 Digital's darkly funny narrative title 'Killer Frequency'- which takes the campy idea of a Slash Plot, and has a good bit of fun with it. Tune In, Check Out, Leave a Not-So-Pretty Corpse While there's plenty of stories in Gallows Creek- none invoke quite as much fear as that of 'The Whistling Man', a serial killer who ran rampant in the 50's, before the police were finally able to put him down.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom isn’t just an incredible sequel; it’s a masterpiece in its own right. The massive open world is filled with surprises, whether it’s a dragon flying off in the distance or a lizard sunbathing on a rock. It’s made for exploration, and thanks to its many viewpoints and endless traversal options, I feel like I’ll be able to uncover every last inch. There’s clearly a lot to love about

Lisa: the Painful is an unrelenting expression of the world’s unfairness. It stacks all the odds against you from the very start, and no matter what you do, things won’t always go right. Minor bosses can destroy your team with insta-death moves, permanently killing party members. Resting at a campsite heals your party and removes negative status effects, but it also leaves you vulnerable to kidnapping attempts or poisonous bug bites. It’s a game where you can lose everything in an instant through no fault of your own.

Wrestling and role-playing might seem like a strange combo for the uninitiated, but these are actually two great tastes that go great together! OH YEAH, BROTHER! If you need proof, just check out WrestleQuest, the colorful new RPG from developer Mega Cat Studios. You can see some footage of WrestleQuest above, but it basically casts players as an action figure going on a journey to become the best of the best through turn-based wrestling matches.

If you were alive and playing video games before the year 2005, there's a strong chance you went through a Tony Hawk phase. From the moment the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater arrived on PlayStation in 1999 (with N64 and Dreamcast versions following the next year), the gaming world was obsessed with grinding through these awesome levels and trying to pull off the sickest and longest string of combos possible.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood (Reviewed) Developer: Deconstructeam Publisher: Devolver Digital Released: Aug 16th, 2023 Price: $16 USD The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a deck-building interactive novel in which you play in the shoes of Fortuna, a witch exiled because of her power to influence the destiny of everyone she reads their Tarot fortune to, due to the fear of her leader. The game looks great on the surface, but as you advance through and pay more attention to the dialog, it becomes less so. It becomes... excessively questionable.

Putting a bacon on top of a game review. What? Seriously? Why? Well, because it is fun... See? Effortlessly, satisfying and fun. People talk about burnout all the time. It's a state of feeling exhausted and drained, physically and emotionally, which is often related to stress at work. I used to turn to video games when I feel unmotivated or just to kill time, but now I find that even playing games can be stressful.
