Opia Games on Sydless - Interview Series

1 week ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

The Lone Blade developer Opia Games has announced Sydless, a fast-paced first-person shooter in which players’ primary weapon is a deadly bouncing ball. Yes — a bouncing ball.
Valerii Minenko, Founder at Twigames Talks Hollow Home - Interview Series

1 week ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

Award-winning game studio Twigames, based in Kyiv, Ukraine, has launched its latest passion project, Hollow Home, on Kickstarter—an isometric narrative-driven RPG that aims to offer a “meaningful and respectful experience that honors the resilience of those affected by conflict, fosters empathy, and preserves the memory of a city torn apart.” Inspired by real-world events Mariupol, the love letter to Disco Elysium and Planescape: Torment will be a “bold statement on the power of video games...
Fish to Dish: Idle Sushi Review (PC)

1 week ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

Idle Waters; Gone Fishing; Cast n Chill; and Fish to Dish: Idle Sushi. That’s four rods, four pieces of bait, and four times I’ve cast a line out this week. Suffice it to say, idle fishing games, or just fishing games, in general, are becoming increasingly common in the indie gaming scene, and I’m not entirely sure if I’m all for the idea of replacing the go-to idle restaurant schematic for an idle fishing one or not. I suppose, a pairing of the two kills two birds with one stone in most cases.
Camper Van: Make it Home Review (PC)

2 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

While Unpacking didn’t pioneer the interior design and lo-fi furniture allocation system, it did establish the notion that not all games have to feature complex mechanics and unhinged characters with bottomless plot points to be successful. It was that minimalistic approach that it adopted—the kind that involved its users arranging floral patterns and sorting pencils by size, for example—that captivated millions without needing to resort to perplexing components.
Your Personal Chill Apartment Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

Your Personal Chill Apartment idolizes serenity and comfort—bathes in the mere possibility of them existing in the same room, even. It adores the simple pleasures in life, too—cozying up by a warm fireplace to read a romance novel, taking moonlit walks after dusk to embrace the wilderness, unwinding to a lo-fi score of ambient sounds to ease the burden of meeting the word count on an overdue essay, for example.
Save Your Soul Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

It feels as if I’m back in ‘08, mourning the hundredth death of a polka dot as it attempts to reincarnate itself time and time again to navigate some of the most complex obstacles in the history of physics-based Flash games. From what I recall, it was during that time, when The Impossible Game was beginning to excavate new portals from the darkest depths of the back catalog of B-list puzzlers, that I found myself worming down a rabbit hole of stupidly high-strung cult classics.
Office After Hours Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

I’m six cups in, and the magnitude of the office space’s ever-changing atmosphere is quickly becoming more incomprehensible with each passing gulp. The hand on the nearby clock is barely moving, and the O/T wage packet is scarcely worth the trouble that I’m putting myself through to make ends meet. But I’m here, not because I want to be, but because the boss says that I have to be.
You See Me? Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

Encumbered, alone, and fueled with the desire to dive deeper into the bottomless depths of my wildest fears, I shuffled forward, skeptical of the shadow puppets that were plaguing the overbearing corridors and telling me to turn back.
Paws & Potions Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

Paws & Potions is exactly what it says it is on the tin: an independent collect-a-thon that openly wears its heart on its sleeve, and the fur of its protagonist on the rim of a cauldron. Cats and elixirs here amount to a simple but effective premise—a premise that, while universal and often overused, casts its focus on two basic ingredients: potions, and the feline companions who help make them.
Wrap House Simulator Review (PC)

3 weeks ago | gaming.net | Jord Tury

I’m glancing down at this chopping board of mine, dicing up yesterday’s cooked meats and chopping the same leftovers as before, frequently taking the chance to pretentiously glare at the customers through the serving hatch as if to overtly illustrate how tired I am of making the same meal over and over again. But where there’s a hungry guest to feed, there’s a quick buck to pocket. And if I’ve come to learn anything about cooking simulation games, it’s that good things come to those who earn them.
