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.

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?

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!

Are you ready to crap your pants? Layers of Fear has graduated Early Access to become a full member of the horror club.

It’s not everyday you see witches and trivia being mixed up and affecting story outcomes. Majotori is a slight departure from most indie offerings and challenges players on their knowledge of video games, anime and more.

ESSENCE is a surreal first-person exploration adventure which had me mesmerized when I first saw it on Kickstarter last year. It's back on the crowdfunding platform with a prototype, and there are also a few other campaigns there worth a look.

Since I first found out about Firewatch, I was intrigued so when it was released, it was an instabuy. A narrative-driven game with some mystery to get you hooked in one the plot is exactly the kind of game we need in games. As of now, I have played just over 2 hours of the game, so I shall provide some spoiler-free first impressions.

I was sent a key for The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human by one of my PR people, and so I decided to take a look and see if this underwater adventure was good enough for you.

The Bug Butcher isn't the usual sort of game I am into, but something about the artwork and idea behind the game hooked me in. I took a look, and here's my findings.

A boxing tycoon management game named 'Punch Club', it was too fun an idea to pass up on. I took a look and here's my findings.

Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! That has to be one of the wackiest titles I've ever seen, and the developers kindly sent in a key for me to give it a go.

We have covered Hand of Fate before, but since release it has gained four major free content updates, so I took it for a spin.

Developer WayForward has been developing games for consoles for well over a decade, and have now released their first game for Linux.

The story driven puzzle platformer is now officially available for Linux with the Foxtales DLC and is currently on sale.

Insurgency was very exciting to have on Linux, as it's the most tactical FPS game we have available. The new updates have made it much more fun too, with gamepad support and decent Steam Controller support added in.

Bombernauts is pretty much bomberman on a year long diet of steroids, as it's insane. We should get a game of this going sometime.

I recently acquired a new PC and 4K monitor thanks to a family member, so here’s some thoughts on the Asus 4K PB287Q 28 inch monitor.

Volvox was released on Steam last week and instantly caught my attention because of its appealing watercolor painted look.
