The folks behind Love Bakudan are back with another game, and while it looks a very different in tone from that steamy adventure, it heart is in the same place. Good Luck Baby! is “an adventure/mystery yuri visual novel about falling in love, saving the world, and finding your place …

After OlliOlli World introduced the world its wonderfully outlandish skate-themed fantasy world, it seems only fitting that the first DLC, Void Riders, should revolve around an alien invasion. So when a UFO crashes into Burntrock and a bunch of odd-looking creatures come out in search of the raddest skaters to …
At first glance, Wylde Flowers doesn’t stray too far from the farming life sim conventions that Harvest Moon laid out some 25 years ago. I don’t say that as a complaint: this is a genre where, more so than most, there’s comfort in familiarity. A new setting, a new group …
I caught up with Wadjet Eye’s Dave Gilbert for a quick Q&A about his next game: Old Skies. If you’re a fan of point-and-click adventure games, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Wadjet Eye Games—and if you haven’t, do yourself a favour and look them up. They’ve been consistently …

I know I’m not alone in my preference for vertical shmups, especially of the bullet hell variety. It’s hard to articulate well, but tracking bullets, reading patterns, and positioning your ship just feels so much more intuitive in a vert. But every now and then, a game will come along …
There isn’t exactly an abundance of Commandos-style tactical stealth games, so it’s always nice when a new one gets announced. The good news for fans of those sneaky romps is there’s another one to look forward to on the horizon: Frigato: Shadows of the Caribbean, the debut game from Poland-based …
You’ll finish the story mode of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees in an hour, give or take, but what a potent hour it is. It begins with a gibbon family frolicking in the forests of Southeast Asia, swinging playfully through the treetops, but that soon gives way to a more grim …
