Chicory: A Colorful Tale Review

Made by a team of only 5 people, comes a painting game that focuses on adventure and art. Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a 2D puzzle game developed by Greg Lobanov and his team and published by Finji. It was released on June 10th, 2021 on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Chicory - The perfect game for anyone who grew up painting random stuff on Microsoft Paint. Since joining Thumb Culture, I've been playing a lot more games than I ever thought I'd play. Because of that, this is the first time I've ever played one of these painting games. I've never gotten the opportunity to play something like Mario Paint, but I do love a good puzzle game and a 2D side scroller. I don't expect anything action packed but I'm looking forward to giving a new type of game I've never p...

Song Of Horror Review

The horror genre is a bit of a strange subject for me. I love horror in all media; movies (especially foreign), games, books, and so on. But, it's rare that something comes along that gets under my skin. I desperately want to feel fear as I play, yet few games have been able to satisfy my morbid hunger and my gluttony for gore. This is thanks in part to my wholely responsible father exposing me to movies like Aliens, Poltergeist, and Children of the Corn at the age of six. I can recall only one game that made me turn it off after every checkpoint because of the sheer anxiety it bestowed upon me. That game was Outlast. A game that can be done in one sitting, took me about 3 years to finish. But, I DID finish it. I still haven't played the DLC or the sequel...but I did finish the first ga...

Railroad Ink Challenge Review

Developed and published by Horrible Guild, Railroad Ink Challenge started off as Kickstarter. However, it wasn't for the video game, it was for the original board game version. The campaign was ridiculously successful and the board game became a reality. Due to its popularity, we are now blessed with a digital version of that exact game. A stunningly designed simplistic puzzler! I haven't dabbled in a puzzle game like Railroad Ink Challenge in quite some times so I am extremely excited to see how I get on with it. Since moving over to PC I have played nothing but multiplayer titles, keep reading to find out how I get on. Gameplay In short, the main game within Railroad Ink Challenge is to build railways and highways to connect the highest number of entrances and exits. Sounds easy? How...
