Children of the Sun wastes no time revealing the unsettling atmosphere that developer René Rother crafted. You can feel it in the grungy art style, aggressive music, and abnormally creepy cutscenes. This puzzle shooter makes sure you feel uneasy when it wants you to. While simultaneously creating calm moments in between the noise.

Take a look at our video game reviews for an expert analysis of some of the best and worst video games we get our hands on. We’ll always finish a game before writing about it unless it’s a complete disaster and isn’t quite finishable.
Bore Blasters fits in with the wacky popular games releasing as of late between Palworld’s take on Pokemon and Helldivers 2’s silly satire. When I think of dwarves mining, my mind immediately goes to the rock and stone of Deep Rock Galactic. Where you’re mining with pickaxes and powerful drills. The last thing I expected …
Living in an old house leads to sporadic problems like paint peeling, a leaky faucet, or even disasters like flooding. This is why it’s almost perfect that the day I was getting ready to play Home Safety Hotline, a game revolving around household problems, my basement flooded. It’s as if the universe was trying to …
Clicker games come in all shapes and sizes even though it can still be difficult to stand out.

Stronghold fans looking for a return to the classic are in for a good time with the Stronghold: Definitive Edition. Between the nostalgia, new content, and graphic overhaul, it’s easily the best way to play the original. And if you’re new to the franchise, it’s a cheap price for a large chunk of RTS content.
Typecast is a creative take on typing games by focusing on typing each letter rather than whole words. Instead of needing to memorize your entire keyboard, you only need to focus on one small area. While dealing with enemies in this bullet hell game, you’ll spend most of your time near the left side of …
You Will Die Here Tonight successfully takes inspiration from popular survival horror games while still having its own unique twists. It mixes in roguelite elements without creating a frustrating experience that often comes with that genre. Instead of constantly losing progress and dying as the name suggests, dying is almost a way of making progress.
As a fan of games like Motherload and SteamWorld Dig, I really hoped Mining Mechs would be a fun addition to that mini-genre. The premise is typically to mine for resources, sell them, upgrade, and then mine even further down. However, it needs to be more than just that concept to stay interesting. This is …
