Tangledeep - PC - EARLY ACCESS REVIEW

Tangledeep is a rogue-like procedurally-generated dungeon crawler video game from Impact Gameworks and whilst it has fantastic potential, for me in its current state it does fall short of greatness.

☆ Review: Original Journey – “It’s a bit of this, and a bit of that” ☆ #GameDev

Original Journey - PC

Genres can be a bit of grey area in video games. I think it’s safe to say that a game’s genre is generally the first point of call for most gamers looking to invest in a new title. While these genres are generally more clear-cut within the AAA gaming market, the rampant innovation and experimentation of the indie gaming market mean that often hybrids arise that aren’t easy to fit into a single genre category. It is this conundrum that I am faced now as I write this review for Bonfire Entertainment’s genre-morphing Original Journey.

☆ Cheat Sheet #1 : Alex Kidd In Miracle World ☆ #Retrogaming

☆ Review: Aporia - Beyond The Valley - "Investigate North? Investigate EVERYWHERE!" ☆ #GameDev

Aporia: Beyond The Valley - PC

Aporia: Beyond the Valley is a first-person adventure puzzle video game from Nordic development team Investigate North.

I’ve seen a few descriptions of the game as a ‘walking simulator’ but this really isn’t the case, if anything it’s more of an open-world puzzle game, far larger than any game in this genre that I’ve played in recent memory.
