The “Modern Audience” Never Came: 1348 Ex Voto Flops Hard

If you spent any time on gaming X/Twitter over the couple of months, you've probably seen the usual suspects like PC Gaymer and IGN hyping up 1348 Ex Voto as the next big medieval game.According to the team's marketing push, it had supposedly huge wishlist numbers, a passionate following, and a story crafted specifically for the mysterious “modern audience” that developers and journalists love to talk about.Then the game launched.Reality showed up fast and without mercy. According to our beloved charts tracked by SteamDB, the game barely managed a 427 player peak on Steam during its launch day.Again, that's four hundred. And twenty seven people. That is not a thriving medieval kingdom of players. That's probably closer to the headcount of a local bowling league or something. 1348 Ex Voto Player Numbers | SteamDB The funniest part though, in my humblest […]

Is Slay the Spire 2 Worth Playing Yet? Early Access Game Review

Same Rogue-like Addiction, New Shiny Coat of Paint Okay I’m only a little late getting around to this one since it came out on the 5th. The past few weeks have been absolute chaos if you follow new releases or Early Access updates. With horror games and updates popping up everywhere like mushrooms smashed with some T-Virus (yes, I may have Resident Evil Requiem still on the brain), something was bound to get pushed down the list. Yeah yeah, I still haven't played Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, but I still swear I’m going to play next...probably...maybe. Watch another ten games drop next week and Falcon Punch my plans to the shadow realm again. Anyhoo, I carved out some time for Slay the Spire 2 - the long awaited sequel to one of the most addictive roguelike games ever created. If you’ve played the first game […]

Resident Evil Requiem Game Review – Leon’s Back Kickin Ass

Okay, I'm not usually one to complain about this - but there has been an absolutely stupid amount of games dropping lately. Between the Monster Hunter Wilds Anniversary Update, jumping into Phasmophobia’s Tanglewood Drive rework, and finishing up my review for Fear the Timeloop (which ended up being way better than I expected btw), my schedule has been ridiculously packed with games that refuse to let me sleep like a normal human being. And of course, sitting quietly in my Steam library this entire time is Poppy Playtime Chapter 5...staring at me, menacingly like an unpaid credit card bill that I keep pretending doesn’t exist. It has been one of those weeks where every time you finish one game, two more pop up like some kind of funderfully cursed gaming hydra. Sigh...but I digress.

Phasmophobia’s Tanglewood Drive Rework Is Actually Kinda Fire

When you think of Phasmophobia, you probably think of the classic 6 Tanglewood Drive map. Not the prison. Not Sunny Meadows. Not that one campsite where your sanity evaporates in 30.2 seconds. Tanglewood. It’s the map where most of us learned what EMF even was. It’s where we first got blasted by a Revenant and screamed into the night like absolutely civilized adults. It’s been the most played map in the game for years, and until now, it was basically “Generic Suburban House Simulator 2020.” And with the latest Phasmo update...that version is gone. But honestly? I’m not even mad. You can check out the full Steam announcement here if you want the clinical breakdown straight from the Kinetic Games, but I’m here to tell you what actually matters. Sorry, but this rework looks really damn good. Overview New Hobby Room […]

Is Fear the Timeloop Worth It? Full Steam Horror Game Review

I found this game the same way I find most questionable life decisions: doomscrolling on YouTube. A random clip pops up. Dark hospital hallway. Slightly crunchy indie graphics. I think, “Oh nice, cute little horror game, probably an hour or two long. Maybe a couple of cheap jump scares for funsies.” I couldn't have known then just how wrong I was. A Sheriff, a Bullet, and 15 Minutes to Live Fear the Timeloop drops you into the boots of Sheriff Cooper, who wakes up alone in a hospital with a funderful gunshot wound that will absolutely kill him within the next 15 minutes if left untreated. No friendly nurse. No exposition dump. No tutorial NPC asshat explaining which button opens a door. Just you. A ticking clock. And a bunch of blood loss. Health Management | Fear the Timeloop | […]

A Tale of Two Game Demos When Wishlists Don't Match Reality Windrose vs Ex Voto

A Tale of Two Game Demos: When Wishlists Don’t Match Reality

It was the best of games. It was the worst of games. This is a tale of two demos that launched the same week - both were holding onto impressive wishlist numbers. Both grabbed some headlines. Both had some buzz. Only one had players. In one corner you have 1348 Ex Voto, a medieval adventure that has you parading around Italy as a lesbian knight in a bowl cut, proudly announcing that it had crossed 100,000 wishlists on Steam before launch. A six-figure milestone. Impressive. Respectable. Very screenshot-worthy, right? In the other corner - you have Windrose, a pirate survival game that quietly blew past 1,000,000 wishlists and then proceeded to pull an overwhelming 22,000 concurrent players into its demo. Meanwhile, Ex Voto peaked at 122. Original Image: 1348 Ex Voto | X That's not a typo by the way...one […]

Monster Hunter Wilds 1.041 Anniversary Update Hits Hard

MHW Turning Up the Heat With Anniversary Update 1.041 Anniversary events are usually pretty chill. Log in, grab yourself some freebies, maybe craft a funderful seasonal armor set and then just call it a day... That’s not what’s happening here. Update 1.041 drops tomorrow, February 18, and while Capcom is absolutely still handing out login bonuses and rotating Festivals of Accord, the real headline is much simpler: 10★ Arch-tempered monsters are here, and they are permanent. The party balloons are up, but so is the difficulty ceiling. https://youtu.be/i78PJfed9Mo Video: Monster Hunter Wilds - February 2026 Update | Monster Hunter 10★ Arch-Tempered Arkveld Other 10★ Arch-Tempered New Player-Designed Drip Monster Hunter Stories Collab What to Prioritize Expansion Setup?

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check Full Game Release Review

A Zombie Game That’s One Big Idea Away From Greatness When I played the beta for Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, I enjoyed it...but I also spent a seemingly dumb amount of time pushing a dolly around my base wondering why I suddenly had a part-time job working in an Amazon warehouse. The full release thankfully fixes that. The unnecessary fluff has been stripped out, the pacing feels a lot better, and what remains is a more focused, zombie inspection simulator that clearly draws inspiration from games like Papers, Please and Contraband Police (except now you’re scanning for zombie symptoms instead of visa stuff). It’s good. Genuinely good. And it’s frustrating in the best way, because in my opinion - it’s sitting right on the edge of something even better.

Highguard Flops: When Free to Play is Still Too Expensive

There’s hype. Then there’s Highguard...the game that somehow closed out The Game Awards 2025 in the best reveal slot only to deliver one of the most unhyped receptions in recent gaming memory. What could have been a triumphant showcase for basically any other game became a collective eyeroll, meme fodder, and (hilariously) a “Concord 2: Electric Boogaloo” moment for the already oversaturated hero shooter genre. But let’s start with the basics: Highguard is yet another free-to-play hero shooter born from a questionable team with credits on games like Titanfall and Apex Legends, landing what they really really wanted to be the industry’s “next big thing” moment,  only to be greeted with blank stares and memes questioning why this game was even the finale. I mean, you had a new Mega Man game announcement...and if you showed Mega Man Dual Override in Highguard's spot […]

Demonologist v2 Update is Here! Notes and Cursed Chapel Guide

Demonologist v2 Update Is Massive…With a Few Issues After a bit of radio silence, Demonologist just dropped Update v2 and hell yeah - it’s a big one. New game engine, revamped visuals, a brand-spankin' new map, over 190 new jump scare sequences, and enough lighting changes to make even familiar maps feel like they’re actively plotting against you. On paper, this is Demonologist’s biggest leap forward yet. In practice? It mostly delivers, but not without tripping over a few big issues that the community has been begging to see fixed for way too long. Let’s talk about what v2.0.0 does right…and where it still drops the cockroach out of the EMF reader. Unreal Engine 5.6 and Lumen: Is it Worth It? The jump from Unreal Engine 5.3 to 5.6 is the backbone of this update, and visually, it shows. The addition […]
