Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist Review – A thoroughly satisfying follow-up
Sequels always come with certain expectations. Will it be better than the first one? Can it improve on its predecessor, iron out its rough edges, or perhaps take the formula in a new and exciting direction? You know how it is.
Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef Early Access Review – Lovecraft meets roguelike
Introduced as an “action roguelike co-op dungeon crawler set in a lovecraftian universe” on its very own Steam page, the game is refreshingly upfront about what it offers: it’s got retro-style pixel art, monsters and architecture inspired by Lovecraft’s iconic mythology, and relentless roguelike gameplay with all the basics you’d expect from the genre.
The Game Awards 2024 and why Swen Vincke’s speech was the best part of it
The Game Awards 2024 came and went, and as someone who enjoys, consumes, and writes about video games, I felt compelled to tune in – in part to see what games would be announced, and also to roll my eyes at all the silly things (some intentional, others not so much) that generally happen at shows like this. I realize I’m getting old, so maybe I’m being a bit of a curmudgeon here, but I often feel like I’m no longer the target audience for a lot of this.
Promising Indie Game Releases – December 2024 – Deadly aliens and flesh-eating elevators
Welcome to GTOGG’s December 2024 edition of Promising Indie Game Releases, where we highlight indie and non-mainstream titles that we believe deserve your attention – in other words, “look at all this potentially cool stuff you might’ve missed otherwise”. That would’ve been too long for a title, though.
Death of the Reprobate Review – A Renaissance farce you won’t want to miss
Death of the Reprobate is a point & click adventure game whose demo I had already sampled during one of Steam’s many Next Fest events, so I more or less knew what I was getting myself into: a Monty Python-esque atmosphere, shockingly absurd humor reminiscent of beloved genre classics, and a touch of healthy vulgarity.

Bygone Dreams: Prophecy Review – A promising startGare – Friday, May 23, 2025 6:48 PM

Bygone Dreams: Prophecy Review – A promising startFirst impressions, as we all know, can be quite important. Which is why I’m telling you not to judge Bygone Dreams: Prophecy too hastily – this 3D action-adventure game from developer Prime Time may not kickstart its adventure in the most exciting way imaginable, and I’m going to be the first to admit that I may have jumped to conclusions a bit too early when trying this playable prologue, but then… everything got better.

The art style of 2D metroidvania Little Mage is giving me flashbacks to Hollow Knight and BraidDeveloped by London-based indie studio Violoken, Little Mage is quite a spectacle – announced just recently at the Future Games Show, the game takes players to the gorgeous, once-flourishing city of Hornedrose where, in the role of a so-called Aether Mage, they will explore a dark and breathtaking capital teeming with secrets and danger.

Mirage 7 Demo Preview – Wait, this has sci-fi?!Gare – Thursday, May 22, 2025 4:52 PM

Mirage 7 Demo Preview – Wait, this has sci-fi?!Before I loaded up the demo build for the upcoming action-adventure game Mirage 7, I admit I did not fully realize what I was getting myself into. But that’s the beauty of starting games completely blind – they get to surprise you with their unique quirks.

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus Demo Preview – Madness and pixelsGare – Tuesday, May 20, 2025 8:27 PM

Vlad Circus: Curse of Asmodeus Demo Preview – Madness and pixelsI can’t resist the tried-and-true combination of disturbing horror matched with retro-style pixel art – to me, there’s just something inherently fascinating about expressing the most horrific aspects of the human mind with tiny little pixel men.

Scarred Review – A disappointingly dull and clumsy attempt at tackling a serious subject matterGare – Tuesday, May 13, 2025 4:10 PM

Scarred Review – A disappointingly dull and clumsy attempt at tackling a serious subject matterIf I had a penny for every time an indie game failed spectacularly at tackling mental health issues, I’d have… two pennies, which isn’t a lot, but it’s still concerning that this isn’t the first time it happened.

Stygian: Outer Gods Early Access Review – A solid take on Lovecraftian survival horrorGare – Wednesday, May 7, 2025 7:47 PM

Stygian: Outer Gods Early Access Review – A solid take on Lovecraftian survival horrorFans of Lovecraftian horror haven’t always been eating well when it comes to video game adaptations – while there are indeed a handful of classics and a few newer attempts that successfully capture the feel of the renowned author’s works with plenty of care, there are just as many titles that simply come off as derivative and pointless.

PS1-style driving game Easy Delivery Co. has yet to tell me its secrets, but I want to know themI’m still not quite sure what to make of Easy Delivery Co., the “relaxing driving game with strange secrets”, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far, and absolutely want to know more.
