Developed by Happybara Games, Good Luck is the kind of game that sounds simple on paper and then immediately proves you wrong the second you pick up the controller. The goal? Walk across a city and get to a meeting, and that’s it. No monsters to heroically slay, no puzzles to intelligently solve – just…. walk in a straight line. Deceiving Premise, and Good Luck With That At first glance, Good Luck feels almost too basic. You’re dropped into a stylized city and asked to make your way through it. However, this isn’t a normal stroll. In fact, the entire environment is built around Murphy’s Law – if something can go wrong, it definitely will. You’ll be dodging falling objects, slipping on hazards, getting knocked…
Developed by Jujubee S.A, Realpolitiks II is one of those games that lets you live out your dream of running an entire country… and immediately realizing you have absoluetly no idea what you’re doing. Playing an Xbox Series X, this modern-day grand strategy game throws you into the deep end of global politics and basically says, “Congrats, you’re in charge now – try not to start World War III before lunch”. No pressure. Running the World (Badly, at First) The main concept here is actually pretty great. You pick any country – and I mean any – and try to guide it to global dominance. That means managing your economy, dealing with diplomacy, building your military, and occasionally poking other counties just to see what…
Developed and published by Wolfsden LLC, Manafinder feels like a love letter to a very specific era of gaming – and if you ever sunk hours on end into old-school RPGs as a child, this one hits hard and fast. Playing on Xbox Series X, it didn’t take long before it settled into that familiar rhythm of exploration, battling, and slowly getting lost in a world that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly fresh at the same time. This is very much and absorbing trip down Memory Lane, but it’s not just relying on nostalgia to carry it. Old-School in All the Right Ways At its heart, Manafinder is a turn-based RPG in the most classic of senses. You explore a fantasy world, take on enemies,…
Developed with a clear love for food and atmosphere, Pizza Slice is one of those simulator-style games that pulls you in with its setting before you’ve even made your first order. Playing on PC, the first thing that hit me wasn’t the gameplay, but how good everything looked. There was a genuine sense of place to be found here, with environments that feel inspired by authentic Italian streets, warm lighting, and that slightly romanticized version of running a small town pizzeria. It’s the kind of game that makes you want to slow down and soak in the atmosphere, which feels counterproductive, given the time-based gameplay you encounter early on. A Slice of Something Special Visually, Pizza Slice does a lot right. The design is genuinely…
Developed by Little Bat Games, Vampire Therapist is one of those ideas that sounds like a joke until you actually sit down with it. A therapy simulator… for vampires. It’s a strange pitch, but one that somehow works far better than it has any right to. Recently landing on Xbox, this BAFTA-nominated title brings something genuinely different to the table – even in a space already packed with quirky indie concepts. Right from the start, it’s clear this isn’t your typical game. You step into the shoes of a former Wild West outlaw turned vampire therapist, helping other undead work through centuries of emotional baggage. It leans heavily into narrative, and while that might put some people off, it’s actually where the game shines most.…
