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.

From Nemesis to Xenomorph – the concept of fear and safety in horror gamesGare – Friday, January 24, 2025 9:47 PM

From Nemesis to Xenomorph – the concept of fear and safety in horror gamesHorror games are meant to be scary. I know, I know – what a novel idea. But do hear me out. There are a multitude of ways to induce fear and unease in the player: a seemingly indestructible monster that hunts you, the sight of a poorly-lit corridor within an ill-fated research facility, or just a memorably written yet oddly disturbing journal entry about the tragic fates of those that came before you.

Commandos: Origins Review – A solid stealth experience, despite some clunkinessGare – Friday, April 25, 2025 8:01 PM

Commandos: Origins Review – A solid stealth experience, despite some clunkinessI’ll just say this upfront: I’m probably one of the worst Commandos players out there. I love these types of games and generally get a great deal of enjoyment out of playing them, but it takes me a while to get the hang of things, is what I’m trying to say.

Suspense: Madman's Dreams Review – Brief and buggy, with a pinch of originalityI think it’s safe to say I’ve played my fair share of indie games, particularly ones in the horror category – whether it was something I had to review, or maybe a demo I tried during one of Steam’s many Next Fest events, I’ve dipped my toe into the pool of small-dev horror on countless occasions.

Rosewater Review – A road trip adventure with meaningful choices and oodles of heartThe genre of point & click adventure games is about as old as time itself, which is why I can always appreciate the various ways it manages to occasionally reinvent itself. Rosewater is one such example...
