Moonlighter takes the drudgery of running a store and finds a new and interesting way to invigorate the experience. This isn’t a new concept, but Moonlighter still finds ways to make it engaging. Moonlighter is actually much more of an adventure but with great theming, but is it worth playing?

Disclosure (Review copy) at the end of the review.

Druidstone is the first game from the Ctrl Alt Ninja, the new company formed from Almost Human. While the company’s name change, they say it’s mostly the same group of developers, but the result is a very interesting game. Almost Human was the company that produced the Legends of Grimrock series, an interesting call back to Might and Magic style RPGs. This time around Ctrl Alt Ninja looks back to D&D inspired strategy RPGs, does it hit the mark a second time?

Baba is You Review

Played on Windows.
Also Available on macOS, Linux, and Switch.

Baba is You has gotten a lot of attention recently. It’s a new game from Arvi “Hempuli” Teikari. It’s also is a game that scratches that particular itch of mine when I look for puzzle games.

Soma Review

Played on Windows.
Also Available on Linux, macOS, PlayStation, Xbox One.

I am terrified of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It is one of the scariest games I have ever played and made me swear off Frictional Games altogether.

Celeste got a lot of attention last year when it came out. It was supposed to be a super hard platformer, and that can be a good description of it. I slept on it, but I kept hearing people talking about Celeste so I finally thought that it was time I took a look at it and see how it stacks up.
