Roots Devour Review — Horror Style, But the Card-Path Loop Feels Too Rigid

Posted on By Fix Gaming Team

A striking horror vibe trapped in a rigid card-path loop Reviewed on PC.Score: 6/10 Roots Devour has an instantly memorable presentation — black-and-red horror energy, unsettling creature designs, and a core idea that should land for strategy players.

A multiplayer game show that can’t start without a crowd Reviewed on PC.Score: N/A I was genuinely excited to try Grave Stakes. The whole deadly game show angle is right up my alley — eight players, risky challenges, rotating hosts, and double-or-nothing moments where you gamble your progress for a shot at something bigger.

Wordatro! Review — A Smart Roguelite Word Game That Needs More Modes

Posted on By Fix Gaming Team

A clever word-game twist on roguelite structure—until the content ceiling shows Reviewed on PC.Score: 7/10 Wordatro! is a word game that clearly wears its inspiration on its sleeve: the “one more run” loop of roguelites (and yes, the Balatro comparison is hard to avoid) applied to spelling, scoring, and smart decision-making. It’s the kind of…

Red Bow: Strange Dream Review — Strange and Sweet

Posted on By Jake Boyette

A Short Walk Through A Dream Reviewed on PC.Score: 8/10 I’ve played many RPG Maker games that failed at what Red Bow: Strange Dream did. Despite only being an hour-long game, it was able to linger in my mind long after I was done with it. You play as Roh, a young woman who heads…
