"I Have A New Game We Can Play": A Bem Feito Review

I have lots of fond memories of playing .EXE games, reading early 2000s creepypastas on the internet, and playing (now retro) video games in-between everything. That combination of nostalgic memories is most definitely not unique to myself, and I'm sure that there's an entire generation that had similar experiences. Bem Feito is a game that takes all those seemingly incompatible elements and mixes them into a blender, even tossing in some vague echoes of Undertale along the way. It's out now on consoles and PC by way of QUByte and oiCabie, and we're going to take a look at it today. So join me in visiting our old friend Reginaldo, it's been a while as we haven't seen him since 1999...

Game Review: Varenje: Don't Touch The Berries

The hidden object genre is not really one I've played much, but that changes with Varenje: Don't Touch The Berries. This quirky little title features impressive art, and a story that has to be seen to be believed. It recently released on the Switch after debuting on Steam, and it joins many other similar titles on Nintendo hybrid console. Does Varenje have what it takes to stand out? Will it draw in players who typically wouldn't try out a title like this? Will I gain a new appreciation for hidden object games in general? Exactly WHAT happens if one touches the berries? We'll hopefully answer all those questions and more in this review!

Works based on the Cthulhu Mythos aren't exactly rare, but what is rare is when a game attempts to tackle all of Lovecraft's works within a single title. Enter Desolatium, a point-and-click adventure game that attempts to do just that and include references, and plot elements, to just about every notable Lovecraft story. Desolatium is out now on consoles and PC, and we're going to let you know if taking the fight directly to Cthulhu himself is something you're going to want to experience. We're just past the spooky month, but it's always the right time of year to play horror-themed games!

Survival Horror titles have made a pretty big comeback in recent years with the recent entries in the Resident Evil series, and there's a game that seeks to be a throwback to a time when they were all the rage in the mid-90s. Tormented Souls is a game that takes direct inspiration from early Resident Evil and Silent Hill games, as well as Alone In The Dark. It's out now for consoles and PC, and we're taking a look at it just a bit too late to be in time for the spooky season. It's never the wrong time to be scared and creeped out though, so read on to see if this love letter to a genre is a game worth picking up, or if you're better off playing Resident Evil 4 for the tenth time.

Tiny Destruction with Giant Monsters: A Godzilla: Voxel Wars Review

I'm a huge fan of Toho's Godzilla series, so I was shocked to learn that a new Godzilla game had somehow snuck past my G-Radar. Not only that, but this new title is a strategy game?! How did I miss this game getting announced? Was it even announced? I have no idea, but needless to say I had to pick it up. Enter Godzilla: Voxel Wars, out now exclusively on Steam at the time of this review. This is (I think) the first new Godzilla game since the hard-to-find 2014 game that came out on the PS4. It's a completely stand-alone release and not tied-in to any of the new Godzilla media. If anything it's more a love letter to the classic series, complete with an impressive roster of Kaiju, and a plot that is reminiscent of movies like Destroy All Monsters. I'm getting ahead of myself though, so it's time to check out the game and see if it continues to surprise me, or if it's actually something best left in the past like Godzilla's son Minya. Either way, let's dive into the game and find out!

I’m a sucker for an old-fashioned point and click adventure game, so I went into Life of Delta with some excitement. It’s a genre that is either done to emulate Myst, or meant to look super retro these days, so seeing one that is designed to have a gorgeous modern look was already a plus in my book. Does it hold up in the genre though? Let’s find out.

Mystery Lover is a Chinese visual novel that originally released on Steam back on Halloween 2020. While the Steam version remains a Chinese-language only release, it recently released on the Nintendo Switch exactly three years later with a full English translation. It's a visual novel that features a mystery club investigating an urban myth regarding a murder involving a popular VTuber. The surprisingly deep story then explores the relationship between the characters, and in particular the main character and his girlfriend, Persephone. It's quite the game to describe in a few sentences, so if you want to know more you're going to have to read on to the full review!

Are you a fan of rhythm games, but maybe want some sort of Fall Guys-type action in them? Well Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is (probably) the game you've been waiting for! Mixing together rhythm minigames like those found in the Rhythm Heaven series, with the wackiness found in a WarioWare game, and tossing in the added stakes of it being a battle royale, Headbangers is now out on consoles and PC and is a game that I've been wanting to play ever since I saw it on the Summer Nintendo Direct. Is it worth the wait? How does it stack up to other games in the respective genres? Are those pigeons in the game? Oh, and how exactly does a rhythm battle royale game work anyway? Well, we're going to dive into all that and more in this review!
