Selling well over 100,000 downloads on Switch and PC, REKT! High Octant Stunts is now available on Xbox One. If you missed this No Gravity Games release on these other platforms, this Xbox One version is exactly the same only with Achievements – which is a good thing. To make an easy comparison, REKT basically…

Incredible Mandy (PS4) Review with stream
On a quest to recover lost memories, Incredible Mandy is an environmental puzzle platformer that mostly revolves around activating switches by blowing up swords like Bomberman’s bombs. Visually, there are moments of minimalistic beauty but the drawn out gameplay is slow paced and not for everyone. As you can see from my stream below, the…
Genesis (Gameboy) Review with stream
It is 2021 but the developers at 7FH worked with publisher Incube8 Games to release a brand new original Gameboy game. To be clear, we are talking an original pea-green screen Gameboy game here which is pretty cool. Genesis, not to be confused with Sega’s 16-bit home console, is the title of this new vertical…
Gamer’s Gullet – Pepsi Blue Review
Back in 2002, Pepsi released Pepsi Blue, a berry flavored cola building off the hype that was Crystal Pepsi. Pepsi Blue ended production in 2004 and finally made its return here in 2021. If you have been waiting approximately 17 years to get diabetes, now is your chance. My local Target did not carry this…
Bad Dream: Coma (Xbox One) Review
Originally released on PC a couple years ago, Bad Dream: Coma is a grotesque point-and-click horror adventure title with a gimmick built around player choice. The monochrome art style plays to the strengths of the presentation although some puzzles are a bit obscure. Controlling a cursor with the analog stick, the player is tasked with…
Flowing Lights (Xbox One) Review
Flowing Lights mixes a few genres that do not normally belong together into a package that is unique and challenging. Dubbed an arcade puzzle action shooter, this is a different take on the shmup-style gameplay. Although there are plenty of things to destroy, the meat of the gameplay revolves around puzzle-heavy level design infused with…
Cosmic Top Secret (Xbox One) Review
Nakana.io has made a name for themselves by releasing odd games, usually focusing on a story with an emotional theme. Inifini and Arrog, in comparison, are bizarre experiences but the newly released Cosmic Top Secret might just be their strangest release yet. Ok, are you ready for this? This is going to sound made up…
Space Commander: War & Trade (Switch) Review
Made by the same team that released Jet Kave Adventure, Golf Peaks, and Castle Of Heart, Space Commander: War and Trade is a space exploration sim built around courier responsibilities and combat. Although the foundation is solid and there are moments of impressive fun, the overall experience drags due to a weak mapping and indication…
Dull Grey (Xbox One) Review with stream
A digital novel with a minimalistic visual style and gameplay, Dull Grey is a cold tale about oppression, opportunities, and choices. It isn’t often a game this dark fully absorbs its namesake. There isn’t much game here as the player only selects one of two options at certain points of the narrative. Taking the role…
The Skylia Prophecy (Xbox One) Review
At a glance, 7 Raven Studios/Ezekiel Rage’s The Skylia Prophecy’s 16-bit visuals might look like a new Castlevania Symphony of the Night but it actually feels like it took more inspiration from the original NES TMNT game. The side-scrolling 2D sprite-based visuals, disjointed combat, and steep difficulty often takes a one step forward, two steps…
