🏔️⛺️🗻Kholat | PC | Review | “I tried so hard, and got so far, but, in the end, it doesn’t even matter.” 🏔️⛺️🗻 @PixelHunted #GameDev #IndieGame

Chester Bennington once sang: “I tried so hard, and got so far, but, in the end, it doesn’t even matter.” This could be the motto of Kholat, an indie horror title from IMGN.PRO that starts strong but gradually becomes less and less enjoyable

Kholat is inspired by the notorious Dyatlov Pass Incident in which nine Russian hikers died in Ural mountains in 1959. 

An investigation revealed that they’d frantically clawed their way out of their tents in the middle of the night, with their bodies found naked and mutilated in the mountains - some reports claiming that high levels of radiation were found on the bodies.

🏚️🏰🏚️ Westmark Manor PC | Review | "You can’t toss a stone in the horror genre without disturbing something vile..." 🏚️🏰🏚️ @PixelHunted #GameDev #IndieGames

HP Lovecraft may have been a daft turbo-racist, but man, that guy could nail creepy.

His Cthulhu Mythos has blossomed far beyond his books, spreading its tentacles into every facet of pop culture, finding a particularly sticky purchase in games.

You can’t toss a stone in the horror genre without disturbing something vile, ancient and unknowable. 

Eternal Darkness, Darkwood, World of Horror, The Sinking City, Moons of Madness, Call of Cthulhu, Sunless Sea/Skies, Bloodborne… Hell, even the venerable Quake ends with you telefragging the pulsating and veiny Shub Niggureth. 

Do we really need more Lovecraft games? 

Well, Nodbrim Interactive and Toadman Interactive think there’s room for just one more…

🔪 Party Hard 2 | Nintendo Switch | Review | @partyhardgame #IndieGames #GameDev🔪

“Andrew... Buddy. What’s up? 

Yeah, it’s Jimmy here. 

Yeah, JIMMY. Ya fuggin’ agent. Calling up to see how ya doin’. Don’t mean to bust ya balls, but the guys up here at Island Records are getting real twitchy. 

They loved Party Hard man, LOVED it. Great tune. 

But that was then and this is now. They need another hit. Tell me you got another hit in that monkey brain a yours? Another smash for your pal, Jimmy?  

You have? Really? So what’s it called? Party Hard 2...

Oh, ok. Just as long as it’s not a rehash of the first one…”

🚴‍♂️🚴🚴‍♀️ Descenders | Review | PS4 | "Fast, Frantic, Fun and Filthy" 🚴‍♂️🚴🚴‍♀️ @RageSquid #GameDev #IndieGames

As stated in my previous review for Hotshot racing, this period has seen a lot of vehicular-based games come my way and Descenders was another solid example that does something different with the genre, In particular, using procedural generation as a key part of the gameplay.

At its heart, Descenders is a simple idea – get your bike to the bottom of the hill – but done with some really neat touches. This intrinsically accessible gameplay means that whilst the game can be challenging - and boy, does it get challenging – players of all skill levels can dive in and get involved.

🍗 Bite The Bullet| Review | "I love a good virtual nosh" 🍗 @megacatstudios #IndieGames #GameDev

I love a good virtual nosh...

Whether I’m chomping down power-pills in Pac-Man, finding a chicken dinner under a bin in Streets of Rage or pausing midway through a fight with a wizard in Skyrim to scarf down 50 wheels of cheese, I’m having a good time.

Bite the Bullet takes this to the extreme, a run n’ gun shooter with a bad case of pica: everything and everyone must be eaten.
