Review | Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction - Roguelike Dickbuilder
startmenu, 2026. Another video game, another review. The mechanics change, but the business, well, that never will. It’s an industry that never sleeps, instead combining genres and styles like those Talkies from Hollywood.
That’s why Hiero de Lima is here to review Dupery… and get to the bottom of this case.
Review | Normal Golf Game - The Malevolent, Benevolent Teacher
Dear [READER], everything about this golf game is NORMAL; in fact, it is A Normal Golf Game.
But it still needs to be reviewed by Dominic Cichocki to verify its NORMALNESS.
Review | Stupid Never Dies – Style Eating More Than It Can Chew
They say stupid is as stupid does, and apparently Stupid Never Dies. What does that tell us? Not much.
Thankfully, Lawrence Adkins took a closer look at GPTRACK50’s debut title and discovered that it is equal parts unique and rote, charming and off-putting, stupid and smart.
Review | Danchi Days - Sense Wonder When In a Bind
Danchi Days doesn’t flinch away from the changes — and accompanying losses — that life brings.
Adam W reviews.
Review | Blood High - Attention Draining
Blood High goes where many have gone before, and merely retraces their steps.
Holly Drivethru reviews.
Review | Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 - Slow Down and Smell the City Burn
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners returns with a new cast but more importantly a more deliberate pacing and subdued tone.
However, this gamble has more than paid off as Rhiannon Bevan finds Edgerunners 2 to be a smarter and more thoughtful exploration of series’ themes.
Review | Penguin Colony - Foul Men and Noble Birds
Artemis Octavio professes her love for flightless birds, as well as morbid curiosity for esoteric mysteries, in her review of Penguin Colony.
Brasil Game Show Interview | The Posthumous Investigation Helps Bring Brazilian Literature to the Global Stage

Review | Orbitals - Short, Sweet and Built for Two
Orbitals is a delightful co-op journey to the stars, however, while leaving someone wanting more is usually a good thing J Simpson can’t help but feel this anime romp could do with a few more episodes.
Review | Concrete Burial - Short. Inexpensive. Mighty.
Concrete Burial is short and to the point — and that’s what makes it great.
Dominic Cichocki reviews.
Review | Sovereign Tower - Knights of the Branching Narrative
Sovereign Tower is a game about choices — and remaking them when the outcomes don’t suit your desires.
WordsMaybe reviews.
Review | Star Wars: Galactic Racer – Rev Up Your Ramjets
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a pulse-pounding racing game that injects turbo-charged fuel into the long-stalled genre with new ideas, a killer sense of speed, and a great presentation.

Forever Ago's exploration of grief is marred by its deeply unpleasant protagonist.
Hiero de Lima reviews.
Review ┃ Control Resonant - Opperating at a Different Frequency
Control Resonant excels in providing ample spectacle, interesting characters, and uniquely Redemy-ish weirdness; however, its combat and heavy RPG influences don’t hold up their end of the bargain, creating a somewhat muddled experience.
Brandon Craw reviews.
Review | Duskfade - Twilight Town for the Shallow Soul
Duskfade is clearly Kingdom Hearts-inspired, but it doesn’t scratch the same itch.
