Who doesn’t like a freebie? Midnight Witch – the first project by Crimson Moon Studio – has released today, and the developers are giving it away for nothing. There’s no catch with that either. No DLC for characters or costumes. No microtransactions. It’s just a free game to add to…

Here we sit, two weeks away from Dordogne’s launch. The game both looks stunning and features interesting gameplay, and I’m excited to eventually get my hands on it. Set in the South of France, the game follows a woman as she explores the home in which she spent her childhood…

Sunshine Shuffle is a fun and even clever idea that falls to bits in execution. There’s some genuine genius in there but it becomes such a struggle to play through far too quickly for its own good. Related reading: For a solid game of poker (and 50 other classic games…

“Roguelike” and “city builder” aren’t often mashed together into a single genre, but that’s what Dice Legacy does as a roguelike survival city builder where players lead their realm by rolling dice. Harvard quite liked the original launch of Dice Legacy (his review here), and since then there have been…

Game development crunch is bad. There’s literally no upside to it. Games get rushed, released with issues, and the staff suffers. So I take very little issue with games being delayed, despite being super impatient. I’d rather the people behind it stay healthy while creating the best product possible. So…
