I've been looking forward to trying out Balrum since seeing it on a crowdfunding site some time ago, and now it has had a day-1 release on Linux I got a chance to play with it.
I asked on twitter for developers to get in touch about their games, and first up is Quest of Dungeons from Upfall Studios. A turn based dungeon crawler game featuring a good old 16-bit retro artistic look.
This time around I am taking a look at a game I picked up some time ago for a Friday Livestream simply because it was cheap. So, let's go to Mars in Sol 0: Mars Colonization!
After picking up Factorio based on some users high praise of it, I have ended up putting way more hours into it than I thought possible. Here’s some thoughts on it.
Not the best news, but not surprising either. A moderator on the Stardew Valley forum (so someone who would be in-the-know) has updated everyone to let us know it all depends on sales.
Balrum is a 2D old-school RPG game from Balcony Team that had seen a few delays, but it's finally here.
That Dragon, Cancer is now officially available on Linux & SteamOS. An immersive, narrative videogame that retells Joel Green’s 4-year fight against cancer through about two hours of poetic, imaginative gameplay that explores themes of faith, hope and love.
Today I took a look at Trulon: The Shadow Engine, a new RPG on Steam. It's a spin-off of the upcoming fantasy novel ‘Shadow Gears’ from Shadowrun author Jak Koke and Trulon creator Johan Lillbacka.
I had a chance to take a look at Overfall, a very interesting mix of rogue-like exploration, RPG and strategy mechanics wrapped up in a funny looking shell.
Out of nowhere, Daedalic decided to release a sequel to their most popular (and often divisive) point-and-click game series Deponia, announcing it just a week before release to the surprise of many. This will be spoiler-free for both Deponia Doomsday as well as the original trilogy, since some might still be intending on playing that.
Not usually my type of game, but I can't deny how beautiful DownWind looks. It's looking for votes on Steam's Greenlight right now.
Pony Island has been out for a while (since January 4th, actually) and it has proved to be a very interesting game, getting extremely positive reviews by both critics and Steam users alike.
Paint the Town Red features the aesthetics of Thirty Flights of Loving, the pace of Eldritch and the absurdly deranged violence of Hotline Miami and Postal 2.
Today I am taking a look at SUPERHOT, a game that I've been hyped about ever since I first heard about it. The idea is awesome, but does it work well?
The game, as of the day this article was written, holds "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam, so you may want to give it a chance and spend at least a few minutes playing it. You don't have to pay anything, you simply download it (only 8 MB) and load it in mere seconds. It's very easy to learn but a bit tricky to master.
Arehandoro sent word in about Totem Teller, and wow it looks really something. Totem Teller is an open world adventure. The player explores, repairs and retells a broken story. Uncover lost characters and hidden things. Truth is in the Telling.
The amazing and unique "logistics simulator" where you build massive convoluted factories while fending off hordes of insect aliens is finally coming to Steam on 25th February!
I've been having a bit of fun with Battlestation: Harbinger for the last few days, and I've actually found it to be a pretty good mix of mix of roguelike, action, strategy and more.
Originally due for release days ago, but the developer delayed it due to the big Steam sale. NeonXSZ has been worked on by the developer for four years!
This past week I played a small game by an interesting character who goes by Kitty Horrorshow. To call her games horror in a conventional video game sense would be misleading. They're abstract, graphically primitive, albeit striking, and tend to leave me with a lingering sense of dread and loneliness, as well as a sense of otherworldly wonder.
