The Squish Academy
After first seeing Squish at Play NYC 2021, I knew this would be a party game that I would sink my teeth into. Its simple premise with addictive gameplay was the exact party game I was looking to share with my friends. However, though the chaotic couch multiplayer antics are top-notch, there’s little beyond that for the single-player gamers.

Continue reading 3 Out of 10: Season ONe ReviewThe SteamWorld series has never been one for complacency. What once started as a tower defense franchise, transformed into a procedurally generated platformer, metamorphosed again into an XCOM-lite adventure, and changed once more into a Metroidvania adventure. This time, SteamWorld Quest wonderfully reinvents the franchise into a turn-based roleplaying card game that’s as fun as it is endearing. Continue reading SteamWorld Quest Review
