Shroom and Gloom – PC Preview

Shroom and Gloom is a Rougelike Deckbuilding game from the minds at Team Lazerbeam with publishing house Devolver Digital. A game that's quite quirky with its design and mechanics that has you deckbuilding for yourself in and out of battle. With the fact that you have to walk a straight path with no way of going back, there are perks. However, you'll have to sort your deck and survive as best as you can while reading the review. I don't know how to feel with being told "Sweeten Well" every time I die! Gameplay The game starts with us being the paper boy holding a sticking note saying "w". As in the keyboard button telling you to move forward. Which is the only direction we're able to walk. However, walking is the least of your worries. Because you'll need to synergize your deck and lo...

Marblearium – PC Preview

Marblearium is described on it's steam store page as "An oddly satisfying Rollventure". Created and published by a solo indie developer under the label Vibnab, it’s currently available as a demo on Steam, with the official release date still to be confirmed. The store page promises satisfying physics, lo-fi beats, a no-pressure experience, and the chance to simply relax. Curious, I decided to give the demo a try to see what the game is all about. What exactly is this? The best way I could describe Marblearium is as an interactive satisfying render. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It sets out to be a calm, relaxing and a pleasingly atmospheric experience. Surprisingly it achieves exactly that. You control a marble using your mouse. The slightest of movement gives the marble a nud...

ACRODRIFT FPV Drone Simulator – PC Early Access

Ever wanted to fly a drone but couldn't afford one? Well, Dueking Studio have the solution with ACRODRIFT FPV Drone Simulator (or ACRODRIFT for short, to save my typing). Now you can fly in exotic places from the comfort of your own gaming chair. No hefty repair bills for wrapping it around a telegraph pole, no being swept out to sea by the wind, and no being attacked by rampant seagulls; it's a win-win situation. ACRODRIFT - Shooting to success or drifting into the mire So as I do not own a drone, and have only limited experience of flying one, my comparisons to real life are going to be limited. I have decided to take the approach that I will see this purely as a game and not a step towards taking drone flying to the physical level. Will I be entertained? That is the key question. Righ...

Cursed Companions – PC Preview

Cursed Companions is an Action, Adventure, Co-op game from the minds at Crimson Forge Studios. It's actually a unique take on the concept that we get from games like R.E.P.O, Yap-Yap, and Lethal Company. The difference between Cursed Companions is that after meeting the quota, we have to fight a boss. But I'll cover more of them in the next section. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN AND THE TOWER OF WAFFLES SHE RESIGNS IN! Gameplay Cursed Companions has you playing for what I'm dubbing Kidney Beans. These Kidney Beans are in the service of the Queen, who must collect cursed treasures. However, there is one thing you must always keep to yourself if you don't trust your friends, and that's your "cursed word". This task will either break your brain or have you meet your maker faster if it's a word you...
