🍩 Heave Ho - REVIEW (Switch) - "...Swing when you’re winning" 🍩 #GameDev #IndieGames

Developer Le Cartel’s previous game was the uber-violent, side-scrolling drug-fuelled brawler Mother Russia Bleeds, a fantastic game (especially in local co-op, natch) filled with faeces-throwing, vomiting and face-stomping.

HEAVE HO, their next title takes the natural next step of being a physics-based party game. Good!

⚔️ Decay Of Logos - REVIEW "trailers may make it appear to have Zelda: Breath of the Wild qualities" ⚔️ #IndieGames #GameDev

Decay of Logos is a good game but it’s a good game for a very specific type of player. 

Whilst trailers may make it appear to have Zelda: Breath of the Wild qualities, the ‘reviewer’s guide’ included with the review copy (genuinely well-written, succinct and handy) paints a truer picture of the game in that it has more in common with the Dark Souls series in its design and approach.

🐷🐔🐺 Hotline Miami Collection - Nintendo Switch - REVIEW - "Still hot but slightly chilled" 🐺🐔🐷 #GameDev #IndieGames

I originally played the first Hotline Miami game on my PS Vita several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I never got around to the sequel. re-playing the game now, it is clear that the magic is still there and the ability to have both games in one place is a nice feature but there are some things about the collection that detract from the experience.

🦖🦕 God Eater 3 - SWITCH REVIEW - "Grab your favourite weapon and start chopping" 🦖🦕 #GameDev #IndieGames

If you're one of those people who thought Monster Hunter could do with more of a Devil May Cry aesthetic, over-the-top anime cutscenes, and needlessly large NPC boobs, then do I have a treat for you.

The Isle Of Wight is my happy place when it comes to UK Holidays.

Are Today's Cartoon Games To Blame For Violence?

Cartoon games have been given a rough ride as of late. The media seems to paint the picture of games as the villain. They have been blamed for exposing children to violence. But this is a very one-sided image. To completely blame cartoon games for showcasing violence would be vastly unfair. In fact, some people would go as far as to say that games are not responsible for this at all. And, if you delve a little bit deeper then you may find that you agree with this.

I've been trying to come up with a decent Stardew Valley pun involving graves, cemeteries, corpses, anything, and it's not really working.

⛪️ The Church in the Darkness - REVIEW (PS4) - "..huh?” “..wha?” “..ung?” ⛪️ #GameDev #IndieGames

I hadn’t heard of The Church in the Darkness before receiving it for review but the trailer, voice cast (Ellen McLain - GLaDOS of Portal fame and her real-life husband John Patrick Lowrie) as well as the premise of secretly making your way through a cult to rescue your nephew) really grabbed me.
