Grind Survivors was sent my way by Assemble Entertainment, a company that has been great to work with in the past. This time around, they sent me their new Rogue Survivor game that has a nice twist to it. Rather than the usual fight until you die, unlock things, and move along, you will also collect weapons. You can then either recycle these weapons to collect ashes that can then improve other weapons or combine weapons to create stronger weapons.
There is no shortage of weapon types either. While initially you only have a couple, such as dual machine guns, a pistol, and a shotgun, as you beat more difficult runs, you get a Tesla rifle that shoots electricity and buzz saws. Multiple characters to choose from will also increase the strategies available to you, as each one has its own special ability.
The first level and difficulty last 10 minutes, with every one after that usually lasting about 20 minutes. Each biome also has an endless mode to truly test your skill and build on. This brings me to my biggest complaint about the game. When you start, you can only choose the burnt forest biome. Until you beat this at level 5, you can move on to the others. Each time you move up, you are basically stuck repeatedly running through the new difficulty level, upgrading a legendary weapon to beat it, as your old weapon is essentially outdated already. This really throws off your flow.
I honestly can’t pick a favorite game of this genre right now, between this and Devil Jam. PlayStation 5 Review: Fans of the genre are eating well right now. At $15, this 8/10 should not be missed. This game will test your skills in the best way possible, and the replay value is absolutely there. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
“Remothered was the first game we developed at the very beginning of our journey, and after our experiences with A Quiet Place and Mafia: The Old Country, we returned to the series because we couldn’t accept seeing Remothered fade away,” said Stormind CEO Antonio Cannata. “We decided to make this game out of a strong sense of respect and responsibility toward Remothered and its community, who thought this project had been abandoned.”
“Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy will dig deep into the story and present new special skills that expand the gameplay pillars of Remothered,” said Game Director Antonio Cutrona. “While the game is a standalone experience that fans of old-school horror can dive right into and enjoy without playing the first two games in the series, it will offer the conclusion that long-time fans have been waiting years to play.”
The team at Stormind has also released the first in a series of three developer diaries celebrating the return of Remothered. In today’s new video, CEO Antonio Cannata and Game Director Antonio Cutrona talk about the feelings that motivated the studio to take up the project. They also discuss how the team is focusing on the franchise’s roots to bring a sense of closure to long-time fans, expanding on its established gameplay, story and challenges while throwing in some surprises for players new and old to discover. The dev diary is available to watch now on YouTube.
In Red Nun’s Legacy, players will enter a world where nothing is quite as it seems. Exploring a convent, you’ll need to use your wits to overcome disturbing revelations, secrets, and a twisted reality to learn the truth behind the Red Nun—all while surviving the relentless Stalkers preying upon you.
Named one of the scariest games of all time, the original Remothered: TormentedFathers hooked fans with its twisting narrative and tense survival horror atmosphere when it debuted in 2018. Stormind Games has a strong pedigree for creating stand-out horror titles, including developing the first two installments in the Remothered franchise, developing 2024’s A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead from publisher Saber Interactive, and working with Behaviour Interactive. In 2025, the team co-developed Mafia: The Old Country with Hangar 13, bringing an immersive authenticity and cinematic atmosphere to its story.

Indie developer Rogueside is bringing its hell-forged action roguelite Devil Jam to PlayStation 4 and 5, Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, on 26th March 2026. Get ready for non-stop escapades in a chaotic underworld, where players take on the role of a doomed musician bound by a demonic contract and forced to survive an infernal performance that never ends. As the cursed guitarist battles through swarms of demonic enemies in tightly designed combat spaces, dodging incoming threats while attacks fire automatically, you can focus on positioning, movement and wise decision-making in the hope of surviving until the encore.
Hell Bells – Save me
Each run throws new powers into the mix, courtesy of the who’s who of the underworld. Brace yourself for wild upgrades that transform your build on the fly: think screen-clearing attacks and unpredictable experimental abilities. The grid-based system lets players rewire how attacks activate and combine, in hopes of surviving the relentless madness.
Turn up the volume to infernal!
The killer soundtrack plays a central role in Devil Jam, with award-winning composer Deon van Heerden returning to collaborate with Rogueside following his work on Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef. His high-energy compositions thrash along with the dynamic gameplay pacing, giving each challenge its own sonic personality.

One brand-new story and 4 new challenges which offer players more profound insight into the cursed world and its larger-than-life cast, and you’ll find two new battlegrounds to endure: The Overgrowth, a claustrophobic arena filled with twisting paths and looming fungal growths, and Thorns of Crimson Death, a sprawling combat space built around relentless enemy pressure and wide-open encounters.

Loan Sharkis 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

Spaceslog is an upcoming space colony simulator, set to release in 2026, from Produno Games Studios. They were kind enough to send me a beta of the game. The game is set to release into early access on April 3rd.
If you have ever played games like RimWorld, you are familiar with the general concept of how the game is played. You make a few characters with different stats and personalities, and you build your ship. You set areas for cooking or storage and build sleeping areas and what have you. This game does nothing to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. It does, however, give you a new setting to play a genre many of us love.
The setting works out well, but more importantly, for those in the beta, the game has gotten consistent updates. I had a few complaints as I was making notes for my review about things like the pathfinding, but that has been taken care of in a recent fix. Trying to play with a controller gave me issues at first so I didn’t bother. It turns out there was an issue with using a controller if Steam was already running, but the controller wasn’t launched VIA Steam, and that was also taken care of. The game also works pretty well with an Xbox controller, tho I do prefer it with a mouse and keyboard, admittedly.
I’m not going to give this game a score, as I am only playing a beta that won’t be released for several months. The state it’s in is very much playable, and with the amount of updates they are putting out, I am pretty confident that come its April launch, we are looking at a solid title worth keeping an eye on for fans of the genre. It may not ever be equal to Rimworld, but it is shaping up to be a nice alternative. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Some of you may remember that not long ago, I covered the release of Frostpunk 2 PS5 Review. 11 Bit Studios was kind enough to send me the Fractured Utopias DLC on PS5. The question is, will this be worth the $13 price tag? Let’s explore that question.
For starters, everything comes into play during the Utopia Builder mode. So if you don’t play this mode, you are already out of luck. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see why you wouldn’t play what is basically the main mode of the game, but it is worth noting that this is where all the content is. Right from the start, you will notice you have the option to start with a faction, of which there are 8 new ones in total to discover.
Each faction also has its very own skill tree to make your way through. This alone will add hours of gameplay, making your way through each one can be a challenge, and it leaves plenty to see. I find this alone well worth the money.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is new. Each faction has new variants on housing, unique laws, HUBS, abilities, and more. So much so that after hours of playing, I haven’t seen them all. I have also seen at least 40 new narrative events, and the store page claims there are over 100.
The only disappointing part of this is that we were only given one new map to play on. The two new premium tales, Doomsayers and Plague, are nice, however.
At the end of the day, this is a very nice DLC. We have all paid far more for DLC and gotten far less. $13 is a fair price for everything it gives. I would have liked one or two more maps, but I can live without them. It is an 8/10 DLC that fans of the game should definitely pick up. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Pathea Games, the studio behind the beloved life-sim series My Time, is delighted to unveil ‘The God Slayer’ – a new third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, roleplaying game in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms.

For a more complete feature rundown please see below:

Experiment with different strategic options and create your own fully customisable fighting style to dominate enemies big and small.

A Story of Vengeance Embark on a thrilling story-driven campaign filled with interesting characters and intriguing twists and turns. Choose your allies, inspire people across the city, and overthrow scheming gods to bring justice to the world.
DemonSchool from Developer Necrosoft Games and publisher Ysbryd Games is a tactical RPG, and proudly wears its Persona and Italian horror roots on its sleeve. Thankfully, they sent me a copy to check out.
The combat is interesting; unlike most of these games, you won’t simply be moving a few squares, choosing an attack, gaining levels, and learning new skills. Every character simply knows the attacks they will know. You, of course, can learn new skills throughout the game, but these work like buffs. Your healer learns to weaken enemies, or your attackers can learn to also stun enemies, things like that.
Killing enemies will see them explode into blood
The other interesting thing about the combat is that you move in directions, not to spaces. This may sound odd at first, but it works out very well and creates an interesting dynamic. This becomes even more true when you realize characters like Namako will move through a group of enemies, stunning them just to end up on the other side of them. Faye can then attack that same group and create a combination attack with Namako.
Bosses are an entirely new situation
Bosses create an entirely new situation, however. They are all very large and have their own gimmicks to overcome. Many, if you stay in a certain zone for too long, will kill you in a single shot. This works in both directions, however, and trapping an enemy there will also kill them. Each boss has their own reason for existing and is part of the story attached to them.
Now you will notice I haven’t touched on the story yet, and that is intentional, as I don’t like to risk spoilers. You play as Faye, probably one of the only people left in the world who knows about a prophecy that demons will return to start the apocalypse. She journeys to this college on an island in an attempt to stop it. She teams up with Namako right away, another person with demon hunter blood in her family, despite her initial refusal. There are several tone shifts throughout the game, and they are all amazing.
The writing can be a bit cliché and silly at times, and it won’t be for everyone. The game, however, is a solid 8/10. The battles can be a bit redundant, but I enjoyed them. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
