Occupy Mars is developed by Pyramid Games, the same folks that are working on Dinosaur Fossil Hunter.

On the Edge revisits the macabre world of Frostpunk but brings some new mechanics and an entirely new scenario to the table. The main difference in this DLC is that you rely on trading with other settlements for sorely needed resources. You are basically a colony of New London and let's just say New London is filled with jerks and they're keen on lording it over you since they have food and you don't.

There are usually two types of puzzle games. One type has a clear cut solution with only one possible path to that solution. For games like this, the main fun comes in figuring out the path to the win state, such as Portal 2. The other type of puzzle game has many possible paths. These are less structured and the fun comes in breaking the game in new and oftentimes hilarious ways, ala Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (a vastly underrated game). Ever Forward falls into the first category but it does a great job of obscuring the path to the solution and makes it feel like a more open world.

Blasphemous is a very competent and well made game paired with an incredibly strange tone. The game is very self serious and never breaks from its odd and dark themes for even a moment. Let me give an example to elucidate the overall feeling of the game. To increase my health points, I ran into a lady who had many swords impaling her. After a dramatic speech, she hands me one of the swords and this somehow increases my health. Nothing makes sense yet Blasphemous manages to make the absurd seem normal.

Continue reading Metamorphosis Gameplay Preview - Its a bug's life

Neon Abyss is very colorful 2D sprite based platforming shooter. The game provides a generous amount of upgrades so that by the end of your run, you are puking out colorful projectiles of mass destruction. My personal favorite item is the popcorn, which causes your projectiles to explode upon impact. Continue reading Neon Abyss Gameplay Preview - The future is colorful
