Age of Wonders: Planetfall - A Strategic Masterpiece Unveiled

From the very moment I launched Age of Wonders: Planetfall, I was immediately swept off my feet. The initial visuals craft a breathtaking panorama that paints a vivid picture, echoing the core essence of this game. For a turn-based strategy offering, there's a tantalizing depth and substance that's nestled within the very fabric of its design. Navigating the Tutorial: Navigating through its tutorial is paramount, especially if, like me, you've taken a hiatus from this genre. The tutorial se

911 Operator

As a gamer, few things capture your attention like surprises, especially when your expectations are set low. When first installing 911 Operator, I had a vision of a simplistic game lacking in depth and control. I am pleased to report that this game defied my initial assumptions, offering an immersive experience like no other. The game introduces itself with a selection window prompting which monitor you'd like to use for display – a quirk I was not expecting. While this feature may seem ins

The Immersive World of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - A Review

In this blog post, I've shared my insights on the game, "Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey". While the game's unique spin on our evolutionary journey and immersive graphics were fascinating, it fell short when it came to user-friendly gameplay and ongoing maintenance. Unresolved bugs were a recurring issue. I'd give the game a 6.5 out of 10, with points deducted largely due to these flaws and its steep learning curve. Despite the hiccups, if you appreciate one-of-a-kind concepts and can overlook

American Fugitive

As the intro music plays in the background, I want to thank you all again for stopping by for the first two hours of the night. This is normally when I would choose a game completely random from my Steam library collection and play it blind for you guys since these titles usually have zero hours played. We'll critique it, review it, and have some fun in the process. At the end of the two hours, I'll give my overall thoughts - is it worth replaying? Absolute garbage? Just what I think after exper

Finding Humanity in the Darkest of Places - A Review of 60 Parsecs

We've all experienced the soul-crushing fear that comes with a looming doomsday scenario. Whether it's through movies, books, or real-world events, the threat of total annihilation can throw our humanity into sharp relief. In 60 Parsecs, developers Mortewolt throw the player into just such a situation - hurled helplessly through space as a nuclear weapon bears down with destructive intent.

11-11 Memories Retold

The feeling of the art animation and style is very reminiscent of that of a dream. Where the world and characters have this fuzzy look about them. I think that this was a design choice for immersion of the player experiencing the game and brings you a little bit more into the story. Speaking of the story it was interesting in seeing how the choices you make for both Harry and Kurt effect the story as it continues. Harry's story starts as this wide-eyed wonder with some sense of wantin
