🏐🎶 Super Dodgeball Beats - REVIEW - "To Dodge Ball or To Not Dodge Ball?" 🏐🎶 #GameDev #IndieGames

Super Dodgeball Beats is a simplistic game that, whilst having a great aesthetic, ultimately just felt too bare bones to be engaging.

🕵️‍♀️ Deadly Premonition: Origins | REVIEW | Nintendo Switch "an unholy union of survival horror and a detective game" 🕵️‍♀️ @NumskullGames #IndieGame #GameDev

There's a line in Ghostbusters where Ray says that the blueprints for Dana's apartment building were drawn by "either a certified genius or an authentic wacko", and that sums up exactly how I feel about this game.

Deadly Premonition: Origins is, at its core, an unholy union of survival horror and a detective game. You play FBI Agent Francis York Morgan (everybody calls him York, apparently), who's been called in to solve the grisly murder of a local girl.

🤔🏰 Sojourn - REVIEW - "Treguard's Puzzle Palace" 🏰🤔 #IndieGames #GameDev

Excuse me. Sorry. One moment. I’m just thumbing through a dog-eared dictionary.

Ah, here we are, sandwiched between ‘soixante-neuf’ and ‘solace’. 

Sojourn. A noun meaning ‘a temporary stay’.

There’s certainly an ephemeral flavour to Shifting Tides’ new puzzle game of that name, but such is the difficulty of some levels (controller-snappingly so at times), temporary was not necessarily the word I’d use. 

I over-stayed my patience on a few puzzles, I can tell you.

⛳️ What The GOLF? - REVIEW - "This is Golf Jim, but not as we know it!" 🐈 #whatthegolf

#whatthegolf

What The Golf? Is for people who don’t like golf.

Imagine if Monty Python made a golf video game that didn’t have much to do with golf and more to do with propelling objects towards a target.

🕵️‍♂️ Call of Cthulhu - REVIEW - (Nintendo Switch) - "My First First Lovecraft Inspired Game" 🔎 #GameDev #IndieGames

Call Of Cthulu was released last year on PS4, Steam, Xbox One and it's now on my favourite console this month, the Nintendo Switch.

Call Of Cthulu follows the release of another game based on one of Lovecraft stories; The Sinking City which came to the Switch on September 12th 2019. 

The stories of H.P. Lovecraft have been in so many different games, they should have a studio based on just Mr Lovecraft's stories!

The video game is an adaption of the role-playing game of the same name as the book from 1981. The role-playing game was actually based on the book sharing the same name that was released in 1926.

⚔️ The Surge 2 - REVIEW - "The Best ‘Dark Souls-esque’ Game I’ve Played" ⚔️ #TheSurge2

Having never played the original ‘The Surge’ and, upon reading into it, finding out that it was dismissed by some as a Dark Souls clone, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from the Surge 2. 

After spending several hours with it, I was surprised to find that, whilst it does come from that genre of difficulty being a focused gameplay feature, it’s a really strong and involving example of the style that absorbed me far more than I was anticipating.

🛩️🗺️ 80 Days - REVIEW [Nintendo Switch] - "Jump On The Robot Horse & Carriage From Dubrovnik To Belgrade" 🗺️🛩️ #GameDev #IndieGames

80 Days was originally a mobile game, then it was ported to the PC, and now it's made its way to the Nintendo Switch.

It fits well on the Switch with its massive library of hidden gems.

The game is a text-based game of old but mixed with a steampunk theme and with an added animation style of its own.

Throughout the game, you need to make sure your master's health is maintained and that you have enough money to transport yourself across the world.
