Culdcept the First (also attributed as Culdcept the First Saturn Tribute) is a very fun game, that does show its age. This is basically a re-issue of the 1997 Sega Saturn game that mashes together deckbuilding (think Magic: The Gathering) and boardgames (such as Monopoly).
With these annual seasonal renewals of the sports season comes the related video games as well, and the question reviewers such as myself always face is this: Is this year’s game worth purchasing one year after the last one? My answer? Yes, absolutely. NBA fans are going to almost certainly enjoy NBA 2K27.
Midnight Moments is a cozy cyberpunk diorama-building game that is stunning. Unlike games that require you to complete quests or take out assailants or even solve challenging puzzles, this one only requires one thing: imagination.
Isle of Reveries is a top down 2D action adventure game that made my nostalgia for old school Zelda games flare up really hard. A good blending of puzzle, exploration, and combat, Isle of Reveries is a wonderful title to experience inside and out.
Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound. Now, I've been following this game from the initial Kickstarter back in April 2025 to its full release in May 2026. The best Mother's Day gift for myself and my first ever collector's edition in a physical copy!
In OVER REQUIEMZ Yuhiru is thrown into the castle of Oz and is immediately accused of trying to assassinate the King and shoved into the dungeon. Not only is she treated like a criminal...
Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.
...and I have been playing NHL games since. It didn't matter whether it was EA or another game like 2K in the 2000s; I loved hockey games and still do, but is NHL 27 a step in the right direction?
Asdivine Knot is the latest title in the Kemco JRPG library. Following protagonist Verselio, who's on the run from the church that they once served, he'll be accompanied by an odd selection of party members as they all find a reason to band together…
Our story begins in Akihabra, Tokyo Japan. The protagonist Okarin… Or rather Rintaro Okabe, (Voiced by Mamoru Minyano) is a recent high school graduate who rents an apartment with his best friend and resident computer hacker, Itaru ‘Daru’ Hashida (Voiced by Tomokazu Seki) during the summer of 2010.
A Single-player Co-Op Time-travel Puzzle Game on Quest and PCVR
Chrono Weaver is a VR game that answers the question, "Is
it possible to play a co-op game by yourself?" Enter a mysterious
science facility floating through space and solve mind-bending puzzles
using a slingshot, physics, and time-travel.
Solving a puzzle with copies of yourself
In our game you play as a test-subject starting a new job, with
unknown origins and a simple goal: Smash the Data Disk. Guiding you
along the way is a flying robot named Yoto, a quirky character who
manages your journey and helps make sure you don't get too lost along
the way.
The gameplay loop has a vibe similar to Portal, going from
puzzle to puzzle with short bursts of story and mystery in between. The
game teaches as you go along, so there is no true tutorial, instead it
grows in difficulty, introducing mechanics and weaving them together
creating exciting and challenging puzzles. Other games that are similar
to it in VR are The Last Clockwinder, We Are One, and Transpose VR.

started building everything we could imagine from game engines to Rube
Goldberg machines. We continued making video games together as a hobby

working on Chrono Weaver and are so excited to have finally released the
demo.

Shape your story in the metropolis of New Arc, ‘The Shining City of Progress’, where you arrive by steerage of a steamship, full of wonder and hope - but things are never quite as bright as they appear. Dark smoke from the factories chokes the skies, segregation, inequality, and corruption run rampant. In order to survive and save your loved ones, you will have to rise from the very bottom, make tough decisions, and get your hands dirty with the help of your diverse party of companions.
Featuring turn-based tactical battles, a complex character creator and a deep, believable world full of tough choices, New Arc Line promises players an unforgettable narrative adventure.

Gather your Party
You won’t be alone on these shores. Meet and recruit a diverse cast of characters, learn their stories, face their demons together and help them grow, or use them for your own gain and discard them as fits your schemes. Who knows, maybe you will even find your true love!
Master Technology or Magic
Evolve your character as you see fit using a detailed progression system with 6 character classes and 12 subclasses. Will you master the secrets of Magic to incinerate enemies as a Hellfire occultist, curse them with mystical Voodoo abilities, or assist your allies as a Celestial sage?

I am a big fan of Mass Effect 3, all the controversies aside. I am hoping to dust off Mass Effect 2 again soon, and build up a new character to put through 3 for another, different take on the storyline in the somewhat near future and still play the multiplayer component every other weekend when Bioware has their bonus weekends. There have been several hints at a single player DLC coming soon that may be called Leviathan, in reference to a potentially rogue Reaper. In the meantime, below are some confirmed goodies.
