Know by heart Review - Russian Coming-of-Age Story From the Creators of Pathologic

game review12 February 2022

A provincial Russian town in 2001 seems like a perfect setting for a story, especially if this story is centered around young adults and told by the creators of Pathologic. Sadly, the premise turns out to be much more interesting than the game itself.

Time loops make for some interesting plots, but how a film or game uses it to move the action along determines how effective it is in the end. But just remember – the clock is ticking.

Of Bird and Cage Review - Where Games and Music Meet

game review21 May 2021

Another walking sim? Not this time! Of Bird and Cage is a unique blend of action-adventure game and metal album, created by people who spent more time in bands (such as Guns N’ Roses) than among developers. It’s a blast to hear. But is it playable at all?

The Medium Review - More Medium Than Well-Done
