NODE First Impressions: Clever, But Not a 32:9 Showcase

NODE First Impressions: Clever, But Not a 32:9 Showcase

I played NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii, a clever 2.5D puzzle platformer with ultrawide support. It works as a puzzle game, but not as a 32:9 showcase.

NightSpawn First Impressions: Can It Be Both a Playtest and Early Access?

Posted on June 29, 2026July 14, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl
NightSpawn First Impressions: Can It Be Both a Playtest and Early Access?

NightSpawn shows promise as a multiplayer horror game, but its Steam Playtest, Early Access status, tutorial flow, and store setup made my first session confusing.

StarRupture Early Access Impressions: A Busy Sci-Fi Survival Loop With Real Potential

Kyle “TheMovieHero” shares his Early Access impressions of StarRupture, a sci-fi survival and automation game from Creepy Jar where mining, base-building, alien wildlife, and planetary ruptures keep the pressure high.

007 First Light Early Review: Bond Energy, Hitman DNA, and PC Issues

007 First Light Early Review: Bond Energy, Hitman DNA, and PC Issues

After a few hours with 007 First Light on PC, the Bond fantasy is strong, stylish, and full of IO Interactive DNA, but crashes, freezes, and strange NPC glitches make this a cautious recommendation at launch.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Earns Fix Gaming Channel’s Game of the Week #50

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Earns Fix Gaming Channel’s Game of the Week #50

After around four hours with MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, one thing became clear: this game is better than expected. With stylish black-and-white visuals, satisfying old-school shooting, jazz, and strong voice work, it feels fully worthy of Fix Gaming Channel’s Game of the Week #50.

Noir Mafia Simulator: 1960s American Crime Impressions | Early Access Launch Comes Too Soon

Noir Mafia Simulator: 1960s American Crime Impressions | Early Access Launch Comes Too Soon

I tested Noir Mafia Simulator: 1960s American Crime ahead of its Early Access launch, and while there is something here, it feels far too undercooked in its current state. The heist concept has some promise, but clunky movement, unclear objectives, and weak combat feedback hold it back for now.

Jesus Simulator Review — One of the Worst Games I’ve Played This Year

Posted on March 31, 2026May 2, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl
Jesus Simulator Review — One of the Worst Games I’ve Played This Year

Jesus Simulator is not a review of faith. It is a review of a broken, badly acted, poorly designed game filled with glitches, forced mini-games, and almost no reason to keep playing.

Gunboat God Hands-On – A Wild Side-Scrolling Shooter Built for One More Run

Gunboat God makes a strong first impression with bold visuals, frantic side-scrolling action, and that hard-to-resist one-more-run arcade pull.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is shaping up to be the racer it wants to be, but that comes with its own pros and cons. Over Labor Day Weekend, Sega was fairly generous in allowing fans to help stress test the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds multiplayer servers with a free open network test that lasted quite a few…

Tiny Chaos: The Ultimate Test of Survival and Strategy

Tiny Chaos throws players into a compact but demanding survival-strategy challenge where every choice matters. With pressure building fast and resources never feeling fully safe, this is a game about staying calm when everything starts falling apart.
