CryoFall Review – Minecraft…IN SPACE

What do you get when you combine Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft, all set in the far reaches of the galaxy, you get Cryofall. After the release of Atomic Torch Studio's first open-world sci-fi game VoidExpanse, they introduce to us their new creation in the science fiction genre. On an unknown planet, you take control of a player of any likeness you choose and set out on a journey to build and conquer. CryoFall - The game where you can mine for treasure and build epic houses but run away at the slightest sign of danger I have never played any games like this before and I feel like this is a good introduction, especially coming from a sci-fi fan like me. Since this is an indie company's third game, I wanted to give them some slack. They're new to this so I don't want to be to...

It’s About Time I Introduced My Son To Gaming – Did We Go N.SANE?

Lately, my son has shown quite an interest in gaming. Whether that be child-friendly streamers showing us games like Roblox or hands-on with mobile gaming on the iPad.

However, characters from the Playstation 1 era are the ones that really stuck with me. Therefore I couldn't think of a better game other than Crash Bandicoot 4 - It's About Time!

Paradise Lost Review And Q&A With The Developers

World War II games tend to lend themselves well to an alternative history, take a look at the Wolfenstein games for instance. But rather than blasting Nazis to bits, Polish developers PolyAmorous offer us something a little deeper than guns blazing, retro-futuristic technology for their debut title, Paradise Lost.
