Supercar Collection Together - Early Access Impressions
There's something wonderfully nostalgic about collecting miniature cars. Whether you grew up displaying them on shelves or endlessly racing them across the living room floor, that simple excitement of finding a rare addition never really goes away. Supercar Collection Together takes that childhood hobby and transforms it into a multiplayer business simulator, tasking players with building a diecast car empire while opening packs, managing a store, and chasing elusive collecti

I Need to Fix My Dream Car (But I Work at a Junkyard) Review
Most people dream of owning a beautiful sports car. Most people also don't spend their days elbow-deep in a mountain of rusty washing machines, bent hubcaps, and whatever suspicious object somebody thought belonged in a scrapyard. I Need to Fix My Dream Car (But I Work at a Junkyard) is a game about chasing automotive greatness while being surrounded by what can only be described as mechanical disappointment. It's equal parts restoration simulator, treasure hunt, and a lesson

Pill & Chill Demo Impressions (Steam)
If somebody had told me I'd spend an evening painstakingly sorting hundreds of colourful pills and thoroughly enjoying it, I'd have probably laughed. Yet that's exactly what happened with Pill & Chill. What initially looks like an oddly specific sorting simulator quickly transforms into an oddly addictive experience, tapping into that same part of the brain that loves organising drawers, lining up collections, and turning chaos into order. Rather than chasing high scores or r

Tailor Simulator (Early Access) – First Impressions
There is something oddly satisfying about taking a simulation genre that has been largely ignored by games and turning it into a full business management experience. While we've run supermarkets, petrol stations, restaurants and even card shops in recent years, Tailor Simulator asks a different question: what if you built a fashion empire one stitch at a time? Developed by Zoady, the Early Access release puts players in charge of a growing tailoring business, where designing

CELESTAY Craft&Slowlife Review (Steam)
There's a certain type of game that feels less like something you play and more like something you keep nearby. CELESTAY Craft&Slowlife falls firmly into that category. Developed by BUBBLE GUM LLC, this cosy idle experience casts players into a world swallowed by the sea, where fishing, building, and quietly observing the stars become the centrepieces of a surprisingly heartfelt journey. Rather than chasing the endless progression loops of traditional clickers, CELESTAY inten

Dog in the Machine - Steam Review
There are plenty of roguelites that blend deckbuilding with tactical combat, and just as many that lean on quirky premises to stand out. Dog in the Machine manages to do both. Developed by Studio Chahut, this colourful cyberpunk strategy game casts you as an AutoDog trying to escape a dystopian machine-controlled city and reunite with humanity. What initially looks like a light-hearted romp quickly reveals itself to be a surprisingly clever tactical puzzler that constantly ch

Vibe City Islands Architect Review (Steam)
There is something refreshingly honest about Vibe City Islands Architect. It doesn't pretend to be the next Cities: Skylines, nor does it overwhelm players with layers of economic simulation, tax spreadsheets, or traffic management headaches. Instead, developer Day 1 to 100 delivers exactly what the title suggests: a laid-back island-building sandbox focused on creating tropical cities while soaking in good vibes and good music. The game describes itself as a "tiny gridless i

Deified - Steam Review
There is no shortage of roguelites on Steam these days, and even fewer manage to bring something genuinely fresh to the table. At first glance, Deified looks like another dark fantasy strategy game built around randomised runs and increasingly powerful builds. Spend a few hours with it, however, and you'll discover a surprisingly clever tactical roguelite that carves out its own identity through an inventive relic system and a refreshing approach to turn-based combat.

Over the Hill Review (Steam)
There are plenty of off-road driving games on the market, but most seem obsessed with extreme mud physics, oversized trucks, or turning every journey into a brutal test of endurance. Over the Hill takes a different route. Developed by Funselektor Labs, the team behind art of rally and Absolute Drift, this off-road exploration adventure focuses less on competition and more on the simple joy of heading into the wilderness with a capable 4x4 and seeing what waits beyond the next

Goeland: Seagull Adventure (Demo) First Impressions
There are certain games that immediately invite comparisons to Untitled Goose Game, and Goeland: Seagull Adventure wears those influences proudly. But after spending time with the demo, it's clear that developer Maarti Games isn't simply making a goose clone with feathers swapped out. Instead, it's building a larger sandbox where freedom, experimentation, and a healthy dose of bird-related chaos take centre stage. The premise is delightfully simple: you're a seagull let loose

Tidy Up the Town Review (Steam)
We all get a weird joy from putting things back where they belong. Whether it’s organising a messy desk, colour-coding a bookshelf, or finally cleaning out that kitchen drawer that's been a disaster zone for years, tidying taps into a simple but powerful sense of accomplishment. Tidy Up the Town takes that feeling and turns it into a cosy fantasy game, dropping players into a charming medieval marketplace that has been thrown into disarray by a magical mishap. The result is a

Astro Fighters 3 Demo Impressions - Bullet Hell With a Roguelite Twist
There is no shortage of retro-inspired shoot 'em ups on Steam, but Astro Fighters 3 immediately stands out by blending old-school arcade action with modern roguelite progression systems. From the moment the demo throws you into space, it's clear that developer Paul Connor is aiming to create something that appeals both to score-chasing shmup veterans and players who enjoy unlocking upgrades and gradually building their power between runs. The demo includes: • The first 2 leve

Demo Impressions: Roadshift
There was a time when arcade racers dominated living rooms, offering instant thrills without burying players beneath endless upgrade trees, realistic tyre simulations, or sprawling open worlds. Roadshift feels like it's aiming squarely at that nostalgia, delivering a focused racing experience built around quick races, straightforward progression, and the simple joy of shaving seconds off your best lap times. From the demo, the first thing that stands out is how approachable e

Necromancer: The Fallen Serve Demo Impressions - Raising Hell, One Skeleton at a Time
Real-time strategy games often cast players as noble kings, valiant commanders, or defenders of civilization. Necromancer: The Fallen Serve flips that familiar formula on its head by putting you in the robes of the villain. Rather than protecting kingdoms from the undead, you're the one creating the endless skeletal horde, harvesting the dead, and turning every battlefield into a recruitment drive. It's an appealing concept that immediately helps the game stand out in a crowd

F.E.A.S.T - Mini Review
If you've ever looked at a farming sim and thought, "This is nice, but what if my crops were being harvested to stop angry gods from ending the world?", then F.E.A.S.T might be exactly the niche you never knew you needed. Developed by Before40, the game blends farming, factory automation, and cooking into a surprisingly charming management experience where every meal could help prevent divine catastrophe. The core gameplay revolves around growing crops, raising livestock, aut

Incremental Retro Racing Review (Steam)
There are plenty of retro-inspired racers on Steam, and there are even more incremental games fighting for your attention. What makes Incremental Retro Racing interesting is how unapologetically it combines both genres into a single package. Instead of simply chasing faster lap times, you're constantly earning stars, unlocking upgrades, buying new vehicles, and gradually building an ever-expanding racing empire. The result is a surprisingly addictive blend of arcade driving a

Moonbrella Demo Impressions (Steam)
There are plenty of Metroidvanias that promise unique movement mechanics, but Moonbrella immediately stands out because it throws away one of the genre's most fundamental actions: jumping. Instead, this physics-based platformer revolves entirely around a multi-purpose umbrella that serves as your means of traversal, exploration, and progression. It sounds like a gimmick on paper, yet after spending time with the demo, it quickly becomes apparent that developer Jett Williams h

Slaylade Steam Review
There’s a certain type of game that immediately triggers childhood nostalgia. The moment Slayblade starts throwing spinning tops, custom parts, arena battles, and a colourful Y2K-inspired world your way, it's impossible not to think of playground Beyblade battles. Rather than hide those influences, Slayblade embraces them wholeheartedly, building an entire roguelite around the simple joy of watching customised battle-tops smash into each other. Developed by Henry's House and

Odd Town Review (Steam)
Have you ever driven into a town that immediately made you want to lock your car doors? That's the feeling Odd Town captures from its opening moments. What begins as an inconvenient breakdown in the seemingly quiet town of St. Sectaire quickly spirals into a surreal adventure filled with conspiracy theories, eccentric locals, shady jobs, and enough suspicious behaviour to make even the most hardened sceptic question reality. Rather than presenting a traditional mystery, the g

Victor's Video Vault (Demo Impressions)
There is something immediately appealing about the premise of Victor's Video Vault. The game drops players into a 1995 video rental store during the dying days of the VHS era, then twists that nostalgic setting into a surreal horror experience where reality begins to unravel after the final rental of the night. It's a concept that feels fresh in a genre often crowded with haunted houses and abandoned hospitals. The demo offers a slice of the main story, specifically a scenari
