Project Songbird Review I walked into Project Songbird with low to no expectations. It’s not easy to have any for a game that wasn’t on your radar, especially when it’s a one-man passion project you haven’t heard much about…

"Project Songbird is a self-healing journey that speaks to both psychological horror fans and artists with a tolerance for the horror genre. It delivers profound storytelling and exceptional artistic design, merging several creative media into one passion project."

Frosty Games Fest 2026 applications are OPEN NOW! 🍦

Demon Tides Review Demon Tides is the sequel to Demon Turf, one of my favorite games of all time. I love it not only for its excellent design, but also for its take on the 3D platformer formula popularized by Mario 64.

"Demon Tides is the definitive platformer experience. It’s a love letter to the games that popularized the genre and to the players who made memories while playing them."

Adaptory – Early Access Impressions “Be careful what you hate; it could turn out to be something you love,” they say. For a long time, I wasn’t a big fan of colony sims and avoided them at every chance. So, you can imagine how terrified...

Constance Review After playing many Metroidvanias in the past couple of years, including some major hits this year alone, such as Silksong, Blasphemous 2, and The Last Faith, I thought nothing could surprise me…

"Constance isn’t just another Metroidvania released this year; it’s THE Metroidvania of the year. It’s a game made with love, purpose, and heart."
