Marquez leaves the gun emplacement and heads to the security station. Phasmids have breached the hull again. He’s handled this a hundred times before. As soon as the airlock clears, he triggers the purge. Air rushes out into the vacuum of space, dragging the invaders with it.
Playing My Steam Library
So many unplayed games in my library… Let’s play them all!
The Dangers of Darkchester
The Ridge family has now survived over two weeks in their harsh, post-apocalyptic world. Though they’ve largely solved their water crisis, food poisoning continues to plague the shelter. Their lives may be marginally more stable, but comfort remains a distant dream.
Sheltered: Waiting for Rain
After traumatising my first family, first with the death of their cat, and finally with the death of the father, I set out to survive with a new family. This time I would remember to feed the pet, and keep an eye on our food and water supplies.
How Long Can You Survive?
Most post-apocalyptic games thrust you into an open wasteland with guns and mutants. Sheltered traps you in a claustrophobic bunker with your family, and lets the slow decay of survival grind you down.
Paradoxes of Deponia Doomsday
From Daedelic Entertainment comes the fourth installation in the Deponia game series. The game follows Rufus on his latest adventure, where he uses time travel in an attempt to create a better ending.
Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut
Wasteland 2 opens with a funeral, and I’m already mourning the hours I’m about to lose to this massive, brutal world. This one’s going to take a while to complete, so here are my initial impressions of what, so far, looks to be a very fun game.
Darwin Kastle’s Cthulhu Realms
Ever wanted to build a deck of unspeakable horrors to shatter your opponent’s sanity? Cthulhu Realms lets you do just that. Based on the Cthulhu mythos, this tongue-in-cheek deck-building game challenges players to conjure sinister combos, manipulate minds, and adapt their strategy on the fly to drive opponents into madness.
Enemy Within the Long War
XCOM: Enemy Unknown reimagines the classic XCOM: UFO Defense for a modern audience, streamlining its mechanics into a faster, more cinematic experience. While a great game in its own right, it lacks the depth and detail that made the original so compelling. Long War aims to bring back that depth.
Switching Cars, Switching Lanes
Switchcars is an incredibly fast-paced rogue-lite that, while simple on the surface, is full of incredible depth and detail. Easy to pick up but brutally hard to master, Switchcars is the kind of game that digs its hooks in and doesn’t let go.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review
One of my favourite games of all time was UFO: Enemy Unknown, known as X-COM: UFO Defense in North America. If there’s one game I played more than Baldur’s Gate, it was this. So when I heard a remake was on the way, I was hesitantly excited.
