Building Up to Greatness with The Kindred
While Voxel art styles are a dime a dozen, The Kindred manages to set itself apart with its sim-survival elements, beautiful world and a high ceiling for growth. It may still be in Steam Early Access, but The Kindred shows exceptional progress and offers a high level of fun even now.
Playing the Past in Star Trek Online: Agents of Yesterday
Star Trek Online already has an incredible universe, game and story. But it just got better, especially for longtime fans with the Agents of Yesterday expansion that takes players through time to the original series. Boldly go into the classic past this week as we check it out.
Experiencing Unsettling Intrigue in Asemblance
A walking simulator in the vein of P.T. and The Stanley Parable, Asemblance is a trip that is deep in thought and feeling, but short in actual doing. Give this creepy thriller a try if you dare, but know going in that only the developers have been able to find the most complete ending to the story.
Getting Wasted with Wasted: A Post-Apocalyptic Pub Crawler
This week we get wasted for a game review, well, at least we get into Wasted: A Post-Apocalyptic Pub Crawler. Wasted has a Borderlands type of look and feel, minus the plot and cool characters. But, for a summer fling type of game, its surprisingly fun.
Conquering A Tactical Niche with Battle Worlds: Kronos

Holidaying in Fallout 4’s Far Harbor
Before we knew about the pending Nuka World DLC, Fallout 4’s Far Harbor was to be the crown jewel of the extra adventures accompanying the core game. We strapped on our fishing hats and headed up to Maine to explore this new world and its accompanying radioactive quests.
The Story of Kyoto Colorful Days
Kyoto Colorful Days is an amazing anime-themed game where all the characters speak with the Kyoto dialect. It even teaches players both the Kyoto and Tokyo dialects. It’s a great way of learing about new culture while also experiencing a really good story.
Watching the Grass Grow with Plantera
This week we take a look at Plantera, a beautiful piece of art that might also qualify as a video game, though we think that for Plantera, it may take the Casual genre a bit too far, removing the player form the equation all together.
Achieving Perfection with The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
Blood and Wine is packed with the final quests for the beloved Witcher 3: Wild Hunt series. And boy, does the series go out on a high note with a beautiful new world, never-before seen features and more high-level content than you can slay with a silver sword.
