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.

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

SHOULD I PLAY PESTICIDE NOT REQUIRED? Absolutely yes. Pesticide Not Required has everything I could ever want in a Vampire Survivors clone: smooth bullet heaven gameplay, over-the-top power-ups, frogs, farming mechanics, and even a pet capybara to help me care for my plants. I’ve only played the demo, but I’m already head over heels in love with Pesticide Not Required. Unless you totally hate roguelites—or frogs—this is a must play.

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.

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.

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.

Cartoon Craft is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Studio NAP for mobile devices. The game takes place in a charming, cartoonish world where players must build and manage a small village of cartoon characters, gathering resources, constructing buildings and defenses, and training an army to fend off enemy attacks. In Cartoon Craft, the gameplay is simple yet challenging, requiring players to balance their time and resources carefully to maintain their village and protect it from invaders. The game features a colorful, hand-drawn art style with cute and charming characters that make it appealing to players of all ages.

I See You - Be blind for a day. I See You is a 1-bit survival horror game that where you play as Sean, a blind person who wants to meet his girlfriend, soon to be fiance, Liz. At the start, Sean is on a train. By the time his stop comes, he tells us that he is about to visit his girlfriend who loves him a lot. I fell in love with the dialogue as soon as he said "I can't wait to 'see' her." It was the start of feeling how a blind person views life. There is more in store for us when Sean reaches Liz's home.

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

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers. Monster Menu revolves around a group of adventurers that find themselves trapped in a mysterious dungeon. After a while, they start to get hungry, and they’re ravenous enough to put anything—even monster meat— on the menu. This isn’t the first culinary roguelike I’ve played, but its cooking mechanics are surprisingly deep, and the mix of survival gameplay and dungeon-crawling is satisfying. It’s heavy on grinding, and it’s unlikely to win over players that aren’t fans of the genre, but I still found it to be pretty fun.

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

SHOULD I PLAY THE LEGEND OF NAYUTA: BOUNDLESS TRAILS? Play it if you’re a fan of Falcom games or old-school JRPGs. The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails was originally released for the PlayStation Portable, so it’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s still very fun. There’s a great mix of action combat, platforming, and slice-of-life gameplay here, along with a charming story. It never reaches the highs of other Falcom series, like the

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

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.

SHOULD I PLAY BOMB RUSH CYBERFUNK? If you’re a fan of Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a must-play. Developed by indie studio Team Reptile, it’s a near-perfect throwback to Y2K-era gaming. While it’s an undeniable nostalgia bomb, it’s worth playing even if you don’t really remember the Dreamcast games. The stylish cel-shaded graphics, streamlined gameplay, and killer soundtrack are enough to make

The game play is amazing, it's a challenging survival game that has endless possibilities and could actually go on forever if you can. The art looks like a grim yet cheerful book and the bosses, secrets, and interactions add to the amazing game it is.

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.

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.
