A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
When Sometimes You released Active Neurons in early 2020, I would have never predicted it would spawn a sequel just a few months later. Now, just a few months after the release of Active Neurons 2, Sometimes You released Active Neurons 3 because apparently they still had some gas left in the tank. Although it […]
Published by Sometimes You, I, AI is a vertical shooter with a leveling mechanic. Although not as balanced as Aircraft Evolution, this old school action game is fluid and rewards skilled players. Playing as a self-aware AI, the first stage has an electric spark escaping from a space station prison and overtaking a space craft. […]
My Aunt Is A Witch is a visual novel published by Sometimes You of Explosive Jake and Awesome Pea fame. While I personally am not a fan of visual novels as I like more game in my games, fans of the genre should appreciate the story, the vivid visuals, and slight adventure game mechanics. The […]
Originally released in 2015 on PC, Swordbreaker The Game has made its way onto current gen consoles thanks to publisher Sometimes You. A digital “choose your own adventure” book, the player is only selecting options available from a menu but is treated to some nice artwork, a cheesy story, and numerous branching paths. Playing as […]
Sometimes You released Active Neurons about half a year ago and I praised this puzzle game for being simple, approachable, and providing a casual experience that offers rewarding gameplay. To my surprise, a sequel has become available so soon after the release of the original. In summary, Active Neurons 2 is the exact same game […]
To quickly put Mask of Mists into perspective, it can sort of be described as a Skyrim-lite only with a stronger emphasis on collecting items to solve environmental puzzles.

Like other Sometimes You titles such as Need A Packet and Breeder’s Homegrown, Norman’s Great Illusion is an unconventional, experimental low-cost digital download that provides a message bigger than the sum of its parts. The approach is unique even though there isn’t much gameplay to speak of. With no tutorial or instruction of any kind, […]
Trapped and alone on a foreign planet, Escape from Tethys carries heavy Metroid vibes and inspirations, specifically from Metroid Fusion. Playing as some dude in a Samus-like space suit, the player will traverse both outdoor environments, indoor corridors, and be hunted by an Android that is reminiscent of Samus’ SA-X doppelganger only not as terrifying. […]
A tactical RPG for any skill level, Steam Tactics simplifies gameplay with speedy battles and an ever increasing leveling system. As a $10 digital download, there is enough here to please longtime fans of the genre but welcome tactical newcomers. There are some obvious callbacks to the Star Fox series as the main anthropomorphic dog […]
