"Overall, Mixtape is probably worth it if you enjoy games that focus more on narratives than gameplay, and if you have $20 kicking around." - @gordon.jagreview.com Read the full review here: jagreview.com/2026/10/27/r...

Big thanks to @bimbo.city for gifting me this all the way back for last Christmas and calling it "the bet game of 2025" (yes you spelled it wrong, I still have the email). I still can't say for certain if it's the bet, but it's certainly one of the best.

Surprise, I'm not dead, just caught up with life and a new hobby (and possibly crippled by undiagnosed ADHD). Big thanks to @leik.games for the game code, and a huge apology for taking so long to actually review it due to a two-week vacation followed by another week of exhaustion and illness, lmao.

"RE9 is an easy enough recommendation for the Grace sections alone, but it’s a shame those parts are somewhat bogged down by some of Resident Evil’s worst habits." - @gordon.jagreview.com Read the full review for Resident Evil Requiem here: jagreview.com/2026/04/20/r...

hey, do you play games on steam? want to do something nice for the devs of the games you've played this year this holiday season? just go through the last 10-20 games you played and post a short positive review for them. reviews are SO important to the steam algorithm, this is a good thing to do!

Caves of Qud has two kinds of cybernetic implants: A. A device too small for the human eye, capable of manipulating the very fabric of reality to let you warp through space at will B. Yaoi hands

Caves of Qud is by far the most wet game I have ever played

Came back to Caves of Qud after 10 months away. First new place I visit gives me a mace that spawns friendly clockwork beetles every time I bonk someone over the head with it. It's good to be back.

"I went in expecting another second monitor "number go up" time killer and wound up with a shockingly compelling mystery story that sat firmly on my main monitor basically the whole way through." - @michael.jagreview.com Read the full review for Asbury Pines here: jagreview.com/2025/11/24/r...

Truly my greatest gaming achievement. (Source: Asbury Pines)

I crawled out of my hole to play Battlefield 6. I should have stayed in the hole. It sucks. It's worse than living in the hole. It made me miss the dark, cold hole. Don't play it. It is bad. I wrote a review of it for @jagreview.com. You can read the full review here: jagreview.com/2025/11/14/r...

"It wears the skin of BF3, an infinitely better game, without understanding what made that game fun to play." - @gordon.jagreview.com Read the full review for Battlefield 6 here: jagreview.com/2025/11/14/r...

I put off playing this game for way too long, but it ended up being the perfect way to spend a not-so-scary Halloween night (yes I know I'm posting this in like mid-November, I'm slow, don't judge me).

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

I just beat My Friendly Neighborhood a few days ago and wanted to mess around with some of the cheats I'd unlocked during my run. Turns out starting a new game with cheats doesn't disable achievements, and accidentally triggering the ending unlocked three achievements in the funniest order possible.

New favorite mall activity: find pop culture stores with a graphic tee display, look for stacks of any shirt with someone's face on them, and fold the top of the stack in such a way that it deletes their nose.

I love Steam Next Fest

Slime Rancher 2 Pro Tip: If you can successfully get a Lucky Slime zapped by a bolt of lightning, it does absolutely nothing.

look at this dude

Okay so life got in the way and I was VERY late to finishing this write-up, but it's here now. This was at the top of my most anticipated games list ever since I played one of its old demos a few years back, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience the full thing.

I think RSS should make a comeback

"I don't think that this is a game I'll dump a hundred hours into or anything, but it got me to engage with a genre that I normally don't enjoy playing, and that's got to be worth something." - @michael.jagreview.com Read the full review of Hot Pot Game here: jagreview.com/2025/09/03/r...

This game popped up in my Discovery Queue. I know train games are notorious for their ridiculous pricing and DLC practices that put EA's treatment of The Sims to shame, but having four different editions and over $3,000 in DLC when it's not even out for another month still took me by surprise.

If you haven't been on this heartfelt robotic journey, it's never too late. 🥳 Go on an unforgettable adventure with Buddy and Bag Boy in Misc. A Tiny Tale: store.steampowered.com/app/1308940/...

Bilkins' was by far my #1 game of 2023, and is probably one of my favorite puzzle games in general. Clever, charming, criminally underrated, and an absolute steal at this price.

There's an adventure to go on, while you may be tiny it's nothing short of BIG! Clean, collect, and help make a difference as a little robot in Misc. A Tiny Tale - OUT NOW for Nintendo Switch & Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1308940/... #IndieGame #indiedev #gaming #nintendoswitch #unrealengine

Sometimes the pursuit of completing games requires me to do terrible, terrible things (this dialogue option was tied to an achievement because @miscatinytale.bsky.social is EVIL). You'd best believe I reloaded my save file so he could go right back to happy dancing. (Source: Misc. A Tiny Tale)

Finally made the time to start playing Misc. A Tiny Tale and I just found out that my little guy SQUEAKS when he crouch-walks. This might just be a 10/10 game already.

Okay, Strange Jigsaws is released. Have fun! store.steampowered.com/app/2702170/...

Huge thanks to @flebpuzzles.bsky.social for the early review copy. My only "complaint" with his last game 20 Small Mazes (which you should also play, it's free) was that I wished I had more puzzles with that same level of creativity, and playing through Strange Jigsaws finally scratched that itch.
