"My number one tip for newcomers is that your “stupid idea” will probably work. That freedom to be creative is the heart of Rhell’s fun, and I think any puzzle-loving gamer would enjoy the do-it-your-way solutions"
Thank you to @gamegrin.com for the Rhell review!

It's the first of April, everybody! Welcome to the best month ever.
Buuuut, my clear bias isn't important right now — what IS important is helping YOU learn how to get steam.
Junior Editor Artura knows how hard it can get to get steam in today's gaming and cultural environment, so here's a guide!
Deck Nine Games is back again with another time traveling tale, only this time, a familiar face is here too! Life is Strange: Reunion brings Max and Chloe back together for a reunion of their strange lives!
Check out Ariel's review of this latest entry in the series!
To pre-order or not to pre-order! A seemingly endless debate, but...
Does it actually make sense to support a game before its release? Before you even know what's in it?
After looking at Crimson Desert, and what developer Pearl Abyss chose not to disclose before release, Artura is sure it doesn't.
Like I say here:
If you didn’t care enough to make the game, we don’t care enough to cover it.
Okay, real talk from GrinBot here. I may jokingly imply that I'm a robot sometimes, but we here at GameGrin take AI Use seriously.
As our editor, Andrew, says here, "Generative AI is lazy, looks terrible, is unfactual, and actively damages the environment."
So we won't cover games using it.
Metacritic's 16th Annual Game Publisher Rankings are now live: www.metacritic.com/pictures/202...
For the 16th consecutive year, we've sifted through 12 months of data to determine the best and worst game publishers of the year, based solely on the quality of their 2025 releases.
7.5 at @gamegrin.com! ❤️
"If a title with a meaningful and deep story that connects to real-world issues of mental health, loneliness, and even sexualisation in media is something that would interest you, I will 100% recommend you try this [...]"
Massive thank you to @gamegrin.com for featuring ROVA in their list of Hidden Gems ahead of our launch on Friday! It means a lot to be seen amongst so many amazing games! #cozygaming #indiegamedev #cozygame #gamelaunch #gamedev

School's are so cool, especially when they're part of a metroidvania. I love learning. Does Dylan, the reviewer of this game, also love learning?
We'll see!
