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.

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.

👍 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.

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 BOOK OF HOURS? Play it if you’re a fan of Cultist Simulator or like complex games with unique mechanics. Book of Hours is an odd and fascinating game with a Lovecraftian narrative. It’s technically a deck-building RPG, but there are no battles with monsters or trips through dungeons. Instead, you play as a librarian working to rebuild an occult library. The gameplay can be pretty confusing, especially if you haven’t played

An appealing Pixel-Art visual novel complemented by a unique tarot card reading in which you can customize your own decks with special skills to read into each of the guests' history and future. Ultimately shifting their fortunes in opposite paths. Unfortunately, because of the improper topics, it's a really difficult game to swallow.

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

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 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.

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.

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

The game features a colorful, hand-drawn art style with cute and charming characters that make it appealing to players of all ages.

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.

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.

Developer The Astronauts hasn't put out a game since 2014's brilliant adventure game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Their next project has finally entered early access, though, and it's very cool and very different from their last release...in a good way! The new game is titled Witchfire, and while it shares spooky vibes with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the core of the game is a roguelike shooter. If that change sounds jarring, you should know that much of the team at The Astronauts was previously at developer People Can Fly, the studio behind satisfyingly over-the-top shooters like

I adore so many things about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—from its sprawling open world to its gorgeous soundtrack—but the best part of the game is its building mechanics. Whether I’m assembling a homemade hovercraft or gluing a sword to a sword, I’m always trying to come up with new ways to take on enemies or explore. I’m proud of my inventions, but some Zelda players have come up with creations far beyond anything I could imagine. These players haven’t just come up with cool builds; they’ve made mind-blowing contraptions that completely change the scope of the game. These are ten of the best creations I’ve seen in Tears of the Kingdom so far.

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.

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.

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.

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.
