Dispatch Demo – Carve Your Own Superhero Redemption Sitcom
•
When the Dispatch trailer first debuted at the Game Awards last year, I thought a new superhero animated series was in the works. My excitement multiplied when I read AdHoc Studio’s name and realized Dispatch is going to be an interactive narrative. A first look at the game was made…
FEROCIOUS Demo is Far Cry meets Jurassic Park on Skull Island
•
Summer is my favorite time of the year because it marks the start of monster season for the entertainment industry. I’m always looking forward to seeing franchises like Jurassic Park release its blockbusters in these middle months. However, what excites me more than a dinosaur movie is a dinosaur game.…
Abyssal Blade: Hack-N-Slash Through Grief
•
When it comes to gaming, I sometimes think of myself as a corvid. I see a game with new and shiny graphics, and I immediately need to pick it up. Conversely, if a game doesn’t have the ‘shiny polish’, I may very well miss out on it despite its quality.…

No, I’m Not a Human Demo is a Promising Descent into Distrust
•
No, I’m not a Human transforms paranoia into gameplay with a deceptively simple premise: determine who’s human and who isn’t before it’s too late. Originally developed by Trioskaz and now published by Critical Reflex—the horror powerhouse behind Buckshot Roulette and Mouthwashing—this atmospheric nightmare drops you into a world where the…
SSR Wives: The Murder of My Winter Crush KILLS It!
•
It’s a rare, rare thing when a game evokes the same uncanny feeling I felt marathoning Silent Hill as a kid. Even rarer when my chosen protagonist is a, quote, ‘Puppy Girl’. SSR Wives: The Murder of My Winter Crush might appear tongue-in-cheek, but after playing the demo it’s clear…
Another Game About Clicking Doesn’t Click to the Point
