SWAPMEAT Review - I Didn’t Expect This Much Meat in My Face

o what is Swapmeat? Well, it's not the lingo used to exchange nudes on Grindr (though perhaps it should be), nor is it a weird phallus-swapping porno inspired by Freaky Friday, though again - maybe someone should be taking notes.

Witchspire Review - Losing Control of My Broomstick

I didn’t think much when Witchspire came my way. An open-world game full of things to find, stuff to craft, brooms to fly, and critter souls to harvest and force into indentured servitude. A big point of the game is to live and frolic with your other little witch friends.

Outrider Mako Review – Gorgeous Indie Game with Frustrating Combat!?

Outrider Mako could be described as a 2D action game, but that would be oversimplifying things as it blends many different genres together. Where do I even start?
