Bosorka is the second game from the Ukrainian studio Sengi Games, and the first to receive positive reviews on Steam and the Epic Games...

Made in Ukraine: Ostriv game review

Backfirewall review: Quirky puzzler that’s well worth your time

I always take notice of games with humor in them. There are usually not enough of those, and those that exist rarely make me...

Lil Gator review: Childlike wonder in a small package

I can never get enough of colorful platformers. I grew up with them, and after enduring the era of dull grey shooters, I more...

The Ascent review: the slickest of twin-stick action RPGs gets a PS5 treatment

The Ascent seems to be a tricky game to like. For some reason, I keep hearing very different opinions about it, from complete disregard...

Slime Rancher 2 review: Every journey has a starting point

It’s no secret that farming seems to be becoming the new staple of the indie community. Anywhere you look, it’s farming. It was fun,...

Apico review: bees all the way down

Farming. Crafting. A remote land left to you by a distant relative. It’s all a bit too familiar, isn’t it? After Stardew Valley, farming...

You Suck At Parking review: It’s all in the title
