First off, I'm waiting to write a full review when the entire suite is finished, but of the Devil episode 2 came out recently and it's absolutely sauced up. Get in on the ground floor of this game, it is shaping up to be the student of Ace Attorney that surpasses its master and I do not say that lightly. Anyways, here are a bunch of narrative-puzzle games I've played in the past several months.…
this set's awesome. check out the rear section which uses 1x2 tiles not aligned with the studs , so they fit on either side of the grass-blade-horn piece. and then you rotate it slightly backwards which I believe matches some gap on the actual car? at the least, it does a rounded angle the front attachment is standard for speed champions using these two rods, but it's fun how they use these weird…
Taskmaster tierlist, updated for UK Series 20 Taskmaster is so good. I felt like I had more to say here but no, it's just that this stupid show is so consistently good. There's the post. Happy 2026! The State is death.
Game runner-up : Kinophobia , a new-gen database game. It’s full of slick little puzzling tricks that are never repeated, and equally full of perfectly conceived pieces of internet flotsam creating the piecemeal palace of the game’s world. Obra Dinn but using the medium of Posts. Honorable mentions : Öoo , a tight, perfectly executed puzzle platformer Rise of the Golden Idol's DLC run which…
rating: 2.5/5 final time: about 42 hours. the script is solidly constructed and thematically strong but oh my god, dude, it's so long. it's SO LONG. it's so much longer than it needs to be. sometimes the slow pace creates good tension builds, but for the most part it just dilutes everything. the other critical flaw is the obsession Tookyo-affiliated projects seem to have with being Exciting…
Spoilers within. review on Backloggd They meant to make more Hollow Knight and they sure did, in kind of a by-the-numbers way. I struggled to connect with a lot of game because of the lack of a sense of wonder, because yknow, I played Hollow Knight. It was great. My impression is that because of scope creep on what was planned as DLC, this never got the reimagining that would have brought that…
screenshot of Case of the Golden Idol Firstly, the second game, "Rise": A revelation in detective games with a lot of its own personality spin. Mechanics are demonstrated and used for solves, then immediately expanded upon. I have no idea how they managed to make just about every case feel novel and fresh with the expansion of one's puzzle logic, but it's beautiful. The art evolves in rendering…
An overwhelming love for making up creatures and great music really carry proceedings in a series with, on the whole, middling character art and a lot of strange craft flaws. Individual scenes are generally well-put-together, but episodes are often just a progression of scenes one after the other without the macro pacing that's needed to cohere. It kind of became annoying how much flora & fauna on…
Variable quality but generally good and moments of Legitimately Good Cinematography, writing, puzzling, etc! Unfortunately, also, many moments of route 1 cinematography, AAA nagging npcs, and whatever the hell is happening in the hand-to-hand combat system. But it was fun, I had a good time, and you get to fuck up some Nazis. i have a huge crush on dame nawal. 3.5/5 stars on backloggd
Hey, just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS (Grimstone was easier before UFO 50 v1.6.2.4) on the Grimstone (Grimstone was easier before UFO 50 v1.6.2.4) CLEAR.

I know your journey through (we had trivial rez costs…
