Gedonia 2 Steam Review

Geddonia 2 is an online co-op RPG from Kazakov Oleg Games, and honestly, this game is not worth the time. The online has no voice chat, and no text chat. How do you not even have basic text chat in an online game in 2026, when the game is all about exploring together?

To make matters worse, the game is a buggy mess. It is perfectly playable, I assure you. However, there are numerous animation issues, with instances where your NPC sidekicks will simply disappear and reappear because they seem to get lost while traveling in a straight line, or worse, stand next to an enemy and fight them without swinging. The enemy does eventually die somehow. This isn’t limited to ally characters; however, I have seen enemies do the same thing.

Combat may be the biggest issue; magic has a tendency to just not work. You will hear the sound of your magic, but it simply doesn’t do anything. Melee attacks will require multiple clicks to even attack. I assume archery will have the same issue, but I haven’t tested it. There is admittedly quite a bit of potential in this game, and with a few updates, it could be a lot of fun, but for now, there is no reason to waste your money on this one. It is a 4/10 experience at best. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Loan Shark Coming to Playstation 5 January 20th

Loan Shark is a game I have long wanted to play since I read about it on PC, and I am currently reviewing Xbox ( you will see it soon), and will now be out on PlayStation. In fact, depending on where you live, it is probably live now. Enjoy the details and the Xbox launch trailer below. ( I can’t find one for PS5)

In Loan Shark, players step into the worn boots of an indebted angler trapped in a cycle of obligation he cannot escape. A single night at sea, meant to be routine, becomes something else entirely. The water feels heavier. The silence stretches. And when the nets finally come up, they carry more than fish.

That is when you meet Cagliuso, a one-eyed, talking fish whose strange gift promises salvation. His offer is simple, almost reasonable. Too reasonable.

What follows is not a power fantasy, but a slow, unsettling negotiation where every gain seems to leave something behind. Time, certainty, morality — all become part of the exchange.

Drawing on classic “deal with the devil” storytelling, Loan Shark unfolds as a compact psychological horror experience focused on pressure, choice, and consequence. The sea becomes both workplace and threat, and the ticking approach of unseen creditors ensures that nothing ever feels truly safe. The horror lies less in what is shown, and more in what is implied — the sense that something is watching, waiting, and counting the cost alongside you.

Key Features

  • Compact yet memorable experience — A focused narrative horror adventure, approximately 30 minutes in length
  • Underwater eye-cam mechanic — Track bites from below the surface while eerie watchers lurk in the depths
  • Fish & gut gameplay — Catch fish and carefully gut them under pressure, missteps have consequences
  • Surreal dialogue & choices — Bargains from Cagliuso force players to weigh risk versus reward
  • Time pressure & looming threats — With creditors closing in, every second counts
  • Atmospheric psychological horror — A restrained, unsettling tone driven by sound design and implication

Rogue Night Steam Review

Rogue Night is a sort of survival exploration pixel art game from Grey November Games that they were nice enough to send us a copy of to check out. Now I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you, the game releases in April, and the version I played is not the final version. I believe it sits somewhere between the publicly available demo and what will be released on April 17th. I say that to tell you this: early on, I ran into a bug, a very game-breaking bug. I went to Discord and told the developer, Wes, and gave him the screenshot of what happened an figured I would wait to see. Going on 10 years of reviewing games for companies, I have had this happen before.

Before I went to bed that night, Wes had replied to my message telling me he had fixed the issue. Downloading an update later the next day, when I had time, and true to his word, the bug was gone. This has happened to different people since I joined the Discord.

Now that I have established they are working hard on this game, is it good? That will depend on what kind of games you like. You collect different weapons, many of which are obtained by killing enemies that quite literally carry them. A skeleton with a spear probably drops that spear. That spear can then be used to attack enemies and reach hard-to-reach buttons.

There are also a bunch of different resources to collect as you dive into dungeons, rescue people in need of help, and build a small town capable of supporting them. You won’t be able to forage enough food for everyone, and food takes time to grow. Death is also inevitable, but zombie heads are this game’s currency. Each attempt will allow you to buy permanent upgrades to make life easier.

So, is this game good? I love it. If you like this sort of game, you will love it. I think it will even bring a few people around. It is a great 9/10 experience. Best wishes,and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Mummy 2026 trailer

Well, it’s that time again everyone! Another Mummy remake (this time thankfully not trying to launch a cinematic universe like The Mummy (2017) ) This time, I have no clue what director Lee Cronin is going for. Seriously, I had to watch this very same trailer multiple times and had no idea what the hell I was looking at. It’s definitely my first head scratcher of 2026. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Ancient Farm Steam Review

Ancient Farm on Steam is another game that Ultimate Games sent me recently, and this one is as simple as it gets. You are building a farm in, of all places, ancient Egypt. While this isn’t the first place I think of farming, they obviously had them. But how does this concept work out?

Truth be told, if you looked up the word average in the dictionary of gaming, you might find a picture of this game. I don’t mean that as an insult; average is perfectly acceptable, which is why we call it average. Everything from the graphics to the sound and even the controls is exactly that, average. For $15, I can’t be mad at that; however, I can expect more.

While I can’t call them issues, things start immediately. The tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about collecting sticks and rocks, cutting down grass and building a workbench and buildings, and even growing a farm. You will then learn to grow crops and even sell them. This will move you on to animals and creating bigger and better things. There just isn’t much of a point. You are never in any danger; you have no food or stamina bar. There are no enemies to fight. You really can’t even go out of business.

I can’t bash the game, or even say don’t buy it. There is absolutely a market for a farming game with no worries. I didn’t dislike the game at all. When I score a game, I start at 5/10. If it functions as it should with no issues, that’s where it stays. I take away for bugs and glitches. I add to it if I find the game fun, or if it adds something to the genre, or has superior sound or graphics, etc. This game is pretty much the definition of 5/10. I never ran into bugs or issues. I also never ran into anything I found fun or interesting, and it doesn’t do anything new or creative. It also isn’t particularly good-looking or sounding compared to other games at its price point. By all means, pick it up if you want a game that lets you farm with no worries, but don’t expect anything else from it. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Cakey’s Twisted Bakery Playstation 5 and Xbox Review

Cakey’s Twisted Bakery is a horror game sent to me on both PS5 and Xbox by Ultimate Games. They have sent me plenty of games over the years, and I always appreciate it. They are best known for Drug Dealer Simulator PS5 review, but they make plenty more.

The gameplay is quite simple: sneak around and find ingredients to make pies and cakes. You play as a child trying to save your brother, since in this bakery, children are the secret ingredient. You and your trusty flashlight (a torch for my European readers) must avoid getting eaten long enough to bake these not-so-yummy sweets and use them as weapons against these terrifying abominations.

While this game may sound easy, it is not. It also may look cute it is definitely not made for children. There are jump scares aplenty, and the monsters will literally pick you up and eat you when they catch you. It isn’t graphic like many survival horror games, but it is more difficult than many that are made for teens.

The game does have its issues, however. The game doesn’t exactly explain much, with most of it being left to trial and error. For example, there is a crouch button, and you can simply hide in open crates. This has varying degrees of success, but since you are a child, it works out. You can also simply pile ingredients into the machine as you find them; there is no need to place exact quantities into the machine. Having to do this one at a time doesn’t make it truly worth it to stockpile massive amounts, but searching for only what you need can get you killed.

The game is fun for the $10 price point. A solid 7/10 experience. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Flotsam Steam Review

Flotsam was recently released into 1.0 from Stray Fawn Studios, and I picked it up during the winter sale on Steam. I really enjoyed The Wandering Village PS5 Review and figured I would give this one a shot. I have to say, Stray Fawn really has a handle on these city builders. This time around, the world has flooded, and you are essentially on a boat picking up plastic and wood with the last few survivors and attempting to survive.

Early decisions here matter as water is at a premium, and so is your wood and plastic supply. Your boat has a limited supply of power that slowly regenerates, so choosing wear to go and what to pick up needs to be done carefully. The tutorial, which goes right into the game itself, does a great job explaining how everything works.

There are a few things that are huge game changers. For example, when you can finally start building scavenger boats instead of swimming, your people will be much happier and work much faster. It also becomes much easier to manage food when you can grow seaweed, four or five farms, and you will never go hungry. Survivors won’t be happy with the food, but they won’t go hungry.

The game itself is well done and a lot of fun, and for $25, it has plenty of replay value. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Preorders Open for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown as Deluxe Edition, Console Demos, Switch 2 Version And Launch Date Are Revealed

Many of you may remember when I reviewed the demo on Steam for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown Demo Review. Well, for console fans, you now have the chance to play it yourself. It is currently live on PS5 and Xbox. I won’t waste too much of your time. The release date is approaching soon, on February 18, 2026, to be exact. It has also been announced that it will be released on the Switch 2. So enjoy the combat deep dive below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Set the U.S.S. Voyager and deep in the unexplored reaches of the Delta Quadrant aboard, Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown invites players to relive—and redefine—the legendary starship’s journey back to earth. The game blends exploration, ship & resource management, roguelite elements, and meaningful choices. Experience crew dynamics and a fresh take on a beloved sci-fi universe — with what-if scenarios that open up new possibilities.

Player decisions shape both the fate of the crew and the configuration of the U.S.S. Voyager itself. With each playthrough, the ship becomes a different version of itself—reengineered and reimagined based on the path taken through the quadrant and the command decisions made along the way.

In Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, players take command of the U.S.S. Voyager as it traverses 12 vast sectors of the Delta Quadrant. Along the way, they’ll manage systems and crew, engage in diplomacy, navigate difficult moral decisions, and face the unknown. Familiar faces return, but their fates may differ—reshaped by the captain on the bridge.

Dreadmyst Steam Review

Dreadmyst is a new MMORPG published by Dreaddmyst.com that has a very old-school look and feel to it. You can choose from one of four classes: Paladin, Mage, Ranger, or Cleric, which do the typical things you would expect. The Cleric heals, the Mage throws powerful spells, and the Paladin swings a sword, mace, or axe while using holy spells to deal damage or heal and buff those around him.

You can check out the decently sized map and pick up a ton of different quests that range from finding a guy’s lost book to killing a certain number of enemies, or an undead wolf, even. There always seems to be something to be doing in the early game and with easy access to fast travel, you won’t waste a lot of time backtracking to areas.

There is, however, one boss in this free-to-play delight that everyone currently struggles with. Signing into the game itself. Much of my game time has been played in separate long sittings, because it takes forever to sign in. Forget playing with friends, by the way, because the chances of all of you signing in at the same time at an agreed time are slim. The fastest I have ever signed in took about 20 minutes of trying. There are also allegations of stolen assets from Aion, but I have not been able to confirm this myself.

So, do I recommend this game? No, sadly, I can’t. Even as a free-to-play game, it is unacceptable that the ability to play is plagued by an inability to sign in and frequent server restarts, which then require you to play a game of will I be able to sign back in? This game is best avoided, at least until they address the issue of not being able to actually sign in. The lack of a queue system and having to manually just keep trying makes it even worse. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
