When it comes to cooking, couch co-op games, I love trying out new ones! Cannibal Cuisine is one of these types of games, however, there is a twist. Instead of cooking up lovely dishes for some sort of crowd, you are actually killing…

I was delighted by the visual presentation when I first saw Demon Turf. The combination of 2D characters placed into a 3D world feels novel. In my preview, I mentioned some worries that I hoped would be addressed by launch. Even still…

Prison Architect's Perfect Storm expansion adds an Event System that promises to keep your attention. When it comes to city-building, management and tycoon games there are more than a few sub-genres. Prison Architect, for me, has always…

After having a bizarre murder-cow infested dream that acts as a tutorial, you wake up in your apartment with a guide to working at the titular Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, your new source of employment. You’re instructed to pick up a…

Transient is one of those games that, on paper, that I should love. It’s an old-style adventure game; along the lines of Myst. You explore, poke around areas, and solve puzzles. It’s a synthesis of Lovecraft and Cyberpunk, both narratively…

Long after society as we know it has ended, people start to appear from the world below. Unexpectedly it's been really unremarkable down there, and nature has done a great job of healing. Before We Leave is a city/colony building game that…
