Or are you just excited to see me?"

All we need is an "At that moment they knew... they f-ed up" after that spot dodge xD

We need more quality, articulated content that doesn't just ragebait us into yelling an opinion.

‘Possessor(s)’ struggles to give Heart Machine their next W Hot demons, atmospheric design and… what else?

Guess who's back from hell with a Posessor(s) review? 😈

The presentation for this one is gorgeous.
Just look at the art and music.
But the story and gameplay... fall short.

‘Possessor(s)’ struggles to give Heart Machine their next W Hot demons, atmospheric design and… what else?

"If I had to sum up the narrative quality, I would say: Great ideas. Poor execution. Genre mismatch."

Indeed, it is. And indeed, it looks quite unique.
Are you looking to get it on another console later? 👀

Will check out and review this one next.
Been following it before it was mainstream and cool.
Time to see if they got it right.

Will play the first hours live.

They've recently launched on consoles, too.
And they've also announced new DLC.
Heck, how hard at work are these folks? 😂

Wanna listen to Andrew's sexy bassy voice as he talks about Trash Goblin and how they make games at @spiltmilkstudios.bsky.social? 👀

You're in the right place.

‘Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound’ Paves the Way for Big IP Development Teenage Mutant Ninja Soulmates

Soo. I started collabing with Oscar on @theuglymonster.bsky.social 👀

And what better way to announce it than a #NinjaGaiden: Ragebound review.

It's another success story for big IPs outsourcing to indies.

Ignore the fact that I don't have all the achievements anymore 😂
I did the review for Ravenswatch when it first came out.

Ravenswatch game on personal Steam profile. Play time: 118.8 hours

I spend 10s of hours completing the games I review so you don't have to.
I thought of adding a "Was it worth to 100%?" for y'all.
Sometimes it's just better to enjoy the ride.

What's the most time you've played a game?👀
Review-wise, mine is Ravenswatch: 118.8 hours.

Forestrike — Martial Arts Chess Retry until you get it right

This game should also not be priced at 10 bucks for how much enjoyment I got out of it.

I dismantled it in a review after 100%-ing it.
Just so you know if it's worth it for you:

I asked Thomas to spill the beans about @forestrike.bsky.social's development a couple of weeks ago.

He also shared what the prototype and alpha versions looked like back in the day 👀

@abbypasion.com is simply the best.

Also, can we make a bit of noise about this, @seagamethetic.bsky.social? 🙌
The dev is from Indonesia.

I've been working in email marketing for a while now.
I know how it feels to contact lots of people.
Sometimes you only hear cricket sounds.
Sometimes, lots of rejections.

TL;DR is you need balls of steel to deal with these feelings.
So I won't turn away someone who mustered the courage to do it.

While I'm not into this genre, I asked to help spread the word about it.

Asking for a friend, of course haha.

Key Art for the game Possessor(s) developed by Heart Machine and published by Devolver Digital. The logo is displayed at the bottom, while we have a ruined city in the middle and three devil-like characters on top of it.

It was about time to cover Possessor(s).
So here we are.

‘People of Note’ is Mostly Off Rhythm A musical? A game? Both?

"The story pacing and elements are all over the place. The characters are trying their best to brute force their way into your heart. With a few exceptions, the actors’ performance leaves much to be desired."

Yoo. I actually love the small details like stepping in and twisting the body only on the hits meant to deal damage.

I wonder if you folks would be down for something like a live interview about the game.
As a former martial artist, I like what you're cooking here 👊
