Dead Spin preview: Slot machine horror with a nasty little hook
Sometimes a game sells itself on the vibe before anything else. Dead Spin is one of those games. Before you even get into the actual mechanics, it already has a grip on you just through the atmosphere. The whole thing has that grimy late-90s, early-2000s horror game feel to it, like you have somehow stumbled […]
One Rotten Oath review: Stylish rot, shaky shooting
Some games grab you before you have even properly started them. One Rotten Oath is one of those games. The look of it alone is enough to make you stop and pay attention. You do not see many games built like this, with those rotoscoped characters cut into grim 3D spaces, all stitched together into […]
Pizza Bandit review: Co-op chaos done right
Pizza Bandit sounds ridiculous, and that is exactly why it works. On paper, the game is the sort of pitch that immediately earns a raised eyebrow. And that is something it certainly did when we checked out its ENDIX booth. A bounty hunter retires, buys the pizza shop he has always wanted, and then finds […]
EMPULSE preview: This Titanfall-flavoured shooter is making a very strong first impression
I’ll be honest, my expectations were relatively high for EMPULSE. A game taking some of the core elements of an all-time favourite of mine, Titanfall. A new PvP first-person shooter with the movement and manoeuvrability of Titanfall is something I’m always on the lookout for. Moreover, created by 1047 games, the developer of Splitgate (and […]
Rogue Maze preview: Hostile architecture done properly
Rogue Maze is the sort of game that makes its pitch very quickly and then dares you not to be at least a little curious. The demo launched on 28 May 2026, with Bionic Wombat Games handling both development and publishing, and the full game is currently listed as coming soon on Steam. Officially, it […]
Freefall ’95 review: Going down brilliantly
Freefall ’95 always looked like chaos from the outside. The trailers, the screenshots, the whole pitch of turning a mid-air disaster into a score-chasing arcade game all suggested something loud, silly, and more than a little unhinged. And after actually playing it ahead of release, I can confirm that yes, it is absolutely chaos. But […]
Frontier: Path of Shadows preview: Plenty of promise, a few loose bolts
Frontier: Path of Shadows is an upcoming sci-fi tactical RPG from Oduvan Games, published by Brightika, Inc., with a public Steam demo due on 29 May 2026 and the full game currently targeting Q3 2026. Its official pitch is a mix of X-COM and Final Fantasy, with a focus on stripping away some of the […]
Frontier: Path of Shadows is opening its airlock a little early on May 29th
Frontier: Path of Shadows is getting a public Steam demo on May 29, giving players their first proper chance to poke around its tactical sci-fi world before the full game arrives later in Q3 2026. The demo already has its own Steam page live, while the full game’s store listing is also up with Oduvan […]
CODEX MORTIS gets a huge Mutations update as its Steam rating stays nicely undead
Necromantic bullet hell CODEX MORTIS has rolled out its new Mutations update, and it is not exactly messing about. The Early Access roguelite launched on Steam on March 26, and Steam currently shows it sitting on 83% positive user reviews from 43 Steam purchasers, with a 20% discount running until June 4. That is a […]
5 games from Steam Ocean Fest that are worth diving into
Steam fests are a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, they are brilliant. A huge pile of demos, weird ideas, and indie games all fighting for your attention at once. On the other hand, they are… a lot. You blink, and suddenly you have wishlisted 27 games and forgotten why you opened Steam […]
