Folly Of The Wizards Review
There is a particular kind of courage, rare in a medium that usually hands you a chosen one and a prophecy, in sending a kid who cannot read the glyphs to save the world from a demon invasion. Folly Of The Wizards, the comedic 2D roguelike action game from UpFox Labs and Numskull Games, is built on that joke, and the joke is sturdier than a wacky cult has any right to be. I played the PlayStation ...[Read More]
Katanaut Review
There is a particular kind of quiet that only exists on a space station after the people have stopped being people. Lights flicker like they are trying to remember a schedule. A corridor that looked like a hallway last run now looks like a throat. You are Naut, a cybernetic cleanup specialist with a katana and a job description that stopped being honest the moment the distress call went unanswered...[Read More]
Wander Stars Review
There is a particular pleasure, rare in a medium that usually asks you to pick an attack from a list, in shouting a sentence at a rival and watching the sentence become a fist. SUPER. FIRE. KICK. The words land like title cards. The kick follows a beat later, as if the universe needed a moment to typeset the violence. Wander Stars, the Super! Anime! Turn-Based! RPG from Paper Castle Games and Fell...[Read More]
Fling to the Finish Review
There is a moment, about four minutes into your first race, when you realize the other person is not a teammate so much as a weather system. They lean left. You lean right. The elastic between you stores that disagreement like a grudge, then spends it all at once. One of you is suddenly airborne. The other is face first in a hazard you both saw coming. Fling to the Finish, the co-op racer from Spl...[Read More]
ZOE Begone! Review
Zoe is a triangle. That sentence should not work as a pitch, and yet it is the most honest way into ZOE Begone!, the debut from Glasgow animator Graeme Hawkins and his one-person studio Retchy Games. She is a little wedge of a heroine with one modest wish, peace and quiet, and one catastrophic problem. Someone just off the edge of the frame, the Animator, keeps drawing her world back into chaos. E...[Read More]
Prop Haunt Review
There is a particular kind of dread that only arrives when a chair slides three inches to the left and nobody in the room will admit they did it. Prop Haunt, the budget 4v1 horror game from Raleigh indie Silent Forest Games, is built entirely on that feeling. It is not a hunt through a cursed manor with a flashlight and a prayer. It is a night spent watching everyday objects misbehave, while four ...[Read More]
Fortnite Override Drops Thursday With Sonic, Sora, and a Whole Arcade
Fortnite: Override lands Thursday, August 20, 2026, and the official trailer does not bother with a slow tease. Chapter 7 Season 4 is an arcade season in the literal sense. Epic is dropping a cabinet’s worth of newcomers onto the Island at once, then asking you to override the system, take back that Island, and stop Geno before it is game over. That line is straight from the official Fortnit...[Read More]
The Blood of Dawnwalker Explains Itself Before September 3
Rebel Wolves and Bandai Namco put a six-minute feature video on the official Dawnwalker YouTube. The title is the brief: Everything You Need to Know. I fetched that page. The channel is Dawnwalker, not a recap upload. Bandai Namco’s US game page dates the launch September 3 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Steam currently lists a September 2 unlock. I am using Bandai’s Septem...[Read More]
