  It’s Another Baldur’s Gate, Basically. A Pixelly Baldur’s Gate.

  Isometric party-based RPG. Real-time with pause. Fantasy. Platform: PC. Yep, that sounds a lot like Baldur’s Gate And that’s good! You’re looking at Serpent in the Staglands.

Despite being early code, available on Steam’s Early Access service, I had a blast with…

  Drowning Simulator Is The Worst Game I Have Ever Played

  I hate being in the ocean. Shallow beaches, I can handle, but the deep sea terrifies me more than spiders, snakes and birds who can talk put together. So a game where you do nothing but drown in open water is not my Game Of The Year candidate. But Sortie En Mer isn’t supposed to…
