So I was recently invited to check out the movierooms playtest and I gotta say its reminded me a whole lot of hotel architect so let’s dive in but first huge thank you to the devs over at Mad Pumpkins for sending me a code i greatly appreciate it.
So the game is started out with the story mode to learn the basics its starts you out in the early 1900s and you learn how to build and staff your theater then it has you play a bit so you can see how things work which isnt bad you hire your staff build your rooms place the main items you need and boom you have your theater nothing huge nothing major just simple place and go.
The game has side quest you can try and do while your running your theater which earn you money but the quest I think were bugged for me as they didnt wanna acknowledge the stuff I already had placed i also couldn’t demolish stuff so I think that option was bugged as well.
The playtest ran great aside from those 2 issues placement was easy and the tutorial was easy to understand I didnt feel overwhelmed by anything and thats how I like these types of games to feel easy to understand and comprehend and hard to master the devs have done a great job with this playtest and I cant wait to see what’s next for this game thank you all have a great day and game on
Not many games grab my attention anymore let alone keep it but for a while now I had been wanting to play outriders it gave me destiny vibes with the powers and space background so when I bought a new ps5 I made it my goal to get outriders and I did and damn what a fucking game.
Now for those who dont know outriders was made by the team at people can fly and published by square Enix releasing back in 2021 I didnt get to play during its prime and I wish I had.
The story follows you the player who’s an outrider having just landed on Enoch a new planet after we left our home of earth since it was dying and crumbling. Enoch when you land is beautiful its amazing the flora and animals its everything you would dream of it reminded me of the world in James Cameron’s Avatar just beautiful, but then the storm shows up and everything goes to hell you escape only to get thrown into cryo and then you wake up. Now this is where shit gets real what feels like minutes to you maybe hours is actually 30 years and everything is hell the beautiful world you saw is no more now its just a waste land and everyone trying to survive at least what’s left of it.
Now the game starts you off meeting some people you knew saving others and throwing you right into the chaos and I for one was up for it im not a fan of slow starts in action games and as someone who had tons of hours in Destiny and played a good amount of borderlands I had some expectations for this game when it came to the loot and it didnt disappoint at all the gear and guns had mods that helped you out and made you stronger but wait im getting ahead of myself you see just after you wake up you pick your class which is where all your powers are born from and how the game really becomes fun I picked pyromancer a mid range fighter that also self heals which for my play style is perfect since I like to pretend im a tank and jump in the middle of hell.
Theres a few classes to choose from a tank a support and the midrange i might have to go back and try another class but I have a lot of cleaning up to do in my game. Now the game is multiplayer so you can play with others or go at it alone and the best part there’s tiers so you start at tier 0 if thats to easy it moves up in total there’s 15 tiers of difficulty but each rewards you even more if you play the higher tiers.
The story was amazing everytime I played I wanted to know more it got to the point where I stopped doing side quest and exploring because I needed to know what the hell was going on and by god the discoveries the plot twist everything was just insane by the time I reached the ending of the game my jaw was on the floor needing more, yes there is a dlc which I hope to be able to get sometime soon so I can continue with whatever story they added there. I never expected the story to be so amazing you can tell the dev team really had high hopes for this game and I curse square Enix for pulling the damn plug.
This game goes on sale often I ask all of you give it a chance play it its on pc Xbox and ps5 the game is amazing the story leaves you wanting more the ending top tier I highly recommend this game and to the devs I hope you can someday give us the second game that so many of us really want thank you all for stopping by take care and game on
Hey everyone hows it going? Hope your all good today we talk about a new indie multiplayer game thats kicking major butt called Over the Top WW1 but first I wanna thank the team over at Flying Squirrel Entertainment for sending me a key its greatly appreciated.
So what is over the top ww1 well its a massive multiplayer game with 200 player battles all taking place during ww1 and I gotta say this game is fun as hell right now every match ive played has been different and intense my worse match i died almost 30 times my best match I got just over 20 kills and as someone who’s played call of duty and battlefield this game stands on its own.
So there’s about 9 different classes to choose from but the main one is rifleman and I tell you man is it hard to spot some players one minute your running for a better position next thing you know boom your down and the killing shot came from so many meters away from a guy that could be in plain sight so you definitely gotta pay attention to your every move.
I think the part I like the most is you get to build trenches to move around in better cover but man does it take a bit its something thats better done with 3 or 4 players maybe more so you can move through everything faster. Watching the earth open up in real time while you dig is amazing and definitely well done.
The combat is solid you actually die in 1 shot unlike other games sometimes depending on where the shot hits you do go down and have a chance at being revived or its instant death but either way its fun. And the banter the chaos from your team mates just hearing everyone talking as you progress its all fun which is how gaming should be fun.
Right now this game is only out on steam I hope the devs are able to expand down the road I actually wanna see this multiplayer game succeed and get bigger yes I recommend it yes its fun and definitely worth your time thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
Seismic Squirrel Breaks Down Turn-Based Car Combat in Aether & Iron Dev Diary #3

Issaquah, WA, USA – March 11th, 2026 – Seismic Squirrel today released the third behind-the-scenes developer diary for Aether & Iron, offering players an in-depth look at how the team brought high-speed car chases into a thoughtful, turn-based framework.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, March 11, 2026 – Saigon Dragon Studios today announced that Space Tales, its retro-futuristic real-time strategy game, is now available in Early Access on Steam. The Early Access release includes the first eight story missions, the introduction of a new enemy faction, and replayable survival mode variants for each mission.
Space Tales combines classic RTS decision-making with modern strategic twists designed to reward both tactical planning and creative battlefield adaptation. The Early Access build delivers a substantial single-player experience, offering players a deep first chapter of the campaign, full access to core systems, and meaningful strategic variety from the outset.
Following Early Access, the development team will focus on completing the remaining story chapters and expanding the campaign into a full-scale sci-fi epic. Regular content updates are planned throughout development, with a full 1.0 release targeted for the end of 2026. Player progress will carry over seamlessly from Early Access to the full launch.
Early Access Content at Launch
At launch, Space Tales will include:
8 story missions introducing the main characters, the central antagonist, and the foundations of the game’s universe
Survival Mode variants for every campaign mission, increasing replayability
Two enemy eactions: the deadly alien Nexera and the relentless mechanized Kill Bots
Modular HUB base building with full access to all core units and mechanics
Alien boss encounters that can be defeated and captured to become powerful battlefield units
A Reluctant Hero Space Tales follows Xander Falcon, who becomes humanity’s reluctant hero after his father’s death, leading the Inter-Planetary Expansion army against the alien Nexera while uncovering dark secrets.
Alongside Vespera and Desmond, the conflict blends large-scale warfare with character-driven storytelling.
Two Factions. Two Threats. Adapt Your StrategyPlayers build modular colonies, manage limited resources, and push back escalating threats across hostile alien worlds. The introduction of The Kill Bots marks a major escalation in battlefield complexity. This relentless mechanized faction forces players to rethink defensive layouts, timing, and unit compositions. Success depends on efficient expansion, careful positioning, and decisive counterattacks.
Early Access features two distinct enemy factions with radically different combat styles. The Nexera rely on alien aggression, while the Kill Bots apply relentless mechanized pressure. What works against one will fail against the other, forcing players to constantly adapt their tactics and base layouts.
Capturable Alien TitansLarge boss encounters are a signature element of Space Tales. Players will face colossal alien lifeforms capable of overwhelming even established colonies. Once defeated, these titans can be captured and deployed as powerful units, unlocking new tactical possibilities and reshaping battlefield dynamics.
Saigon Dragon Studios is targeting a full 1.0 release by the end of 2026, with regular updates pacing the Early Access journey.
After Early Access, the team will head down into completing the remaining campaign chapters and expanding late-game content:
The remaining 5 campaign missions
Larger, more chaotic battles as the story escalates
A third enemy faction designed to further elevate tactical challenge and narrative stakes
Continued balance updates, quality-of-life improvements, and community-driven refinements
“Early Access is the beginning of the journey,” said Matt, Game Director at Saigon Dragon Studios. “Players will experience the opening arc of our story and face The Kill Bots for the first time. From there, we’ll expand the universe, escalate the conflict, and deliver the epic sci-fi campaign we’ve always wanted to build.”

I wasnt sure how to feel about this game im not much of a strategy player as my play style is very much power and overwhelm things but I went into this game with a clear mind so let’s talk about it but first massive thank you to the team at Omni Systems for reaching out and sending me the game key its greatly appreciated and thank you for letting me experience your universe.
So Eufloria is a strategy rts life Sim game where you control seedlings in space and must find ways to reproduce and keep exploring the game does an absolutely amazing job walking you through everything and showing you how to play that I took my time with everything simply because I wanted to make sure I understood everything thrown at me.
So you use the seedlings to expand by planting them into asteroids in a form of terraforming each tree then gives life to new seedlings the best part each asteroid has stats so you will have some that are better at one stat then others and yes it will affect your seedling as well giving them different factors of survival.
Now the trees are also important you see the older they are the better they are at producing so if you have half a dozen older trees they will regrow your numbers much faster then a younger tree and I personally think thats awesome keeps you mindful of each asteroid you control.
I played the story mode in the game there’s chapters and each chapter is broken down into smaller chapters the first chapter ill call the tutorial chapter has 5 sub chapters and each one teaches you something new while also letting you learn at your own pace which is nice there’s no timer rushing you there’s no immediate threat of danger but there is danger waiting for you.
One thing that this game has that I truly love is the music is soft and relaxing I could listen to it for hours on end and even when there was action on screen the music didnt change it had its own vibes and made the game feel great the whole time I was playing.
Eufloria Classic has a lot to do and lots to learn but im not spoiling anything else cause I want you to play this game for yourself its solid its fun and deserves your time and if your a fan of strategy games then you dont lose anything this game respects your time and its one game I definitely recommend.
Thank you again to the team at Omni Systems for sending me this game hope you all have a great day and game on
So I wanna thank the team at Omni Systems for sending me this game its greatly appreciated let’s talk about it.
So I wasnt sure what to expect when I went into Bioframe Outpost im not much of a metroidvania type of player my history with the genre is limited.
So the game starts with you waking up in a chamber in a facility that looks like its gone to hell and honestly it has which you find out as you progress, some insane alien entity is spreading a virus thats infecting everything it comes into contact and that friends is no good.
I wish the game had combat i would feel alot better but considering you play a scientist who’s lost his memories and must piece everything together theres no combat instead you have a camera and you must take pictures of everything in order to gather information but ypu see the camera also gives you a partial stun effect letting you get by mobs so you can progress sadly the camera takes a bit and you have to keep the object in focus or it restarts everytime
For those who have played games like hollowknight you will feel at home with the map and traversing again though no combat
Theres so much to discover in this game literally everything you photograph is another page of information for you to learn.
The game itself is beautiful the colors used make you feel like your in an abstract painting and the colors from the mobs you encounter from butterfly’s to spiders to plants and robots everything looks amazing.
I wont spoil the game more but its one I recommend you check out having to observe and take pictures over combat is a new take and an interesting one thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
Hey everyone today I got to test out an awesome little racing game called IRacing Arcade but first I wanna thank the folks over at Original Fire Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk.
So Iracing Arcade is an Arcade racer with some management sim involved ypu start out with the lowest car a fiat and race the fiat 500 cup to get your bearings about the game after the game shows you your base where you can place your trophies to be seen and where you will buy new buildings and upgrade buildings in order to have better enhancements for your cars which let’s be real in a racing game any advantage is worth it since we all know these NPC racers are god tier and love to run us over in races.
So the race tourneys are broken down into 4 weeks 1 race per week which is awesome you dont over do it and you have fun as your racing before every race you get to select the difficulty do you wanna race against noob computer racers or do you wanna go all in with the god tier racers and show them who’s boss the choice is yours. This is what career offers as well as building your base for improvements for your cars.
The only gripe I have with the game is multiplayer there are no pre made lobbies for players to join you have to host your own and pray players show up and honestly thats a big let down I wanna race against other players and have fun I hope they can fix this down the road and make it easier to play with others.
Now my absolute favorite thing about the game is the chibi cars they look adorable and honestly are fun to drive the game handles great I played on controller as I wasnt sure there was wheel support but even with a controller everything felt great no over steering no losing control this game was well made and the devs really put time into getting the feel right.
Right now iracing arcade is out on steam for 24.99 and should be coming to consoles down the road I hope you all had a great day take care and game on.
Hey everyone hows it going just giving you all a heads up my pc is in the shop getting some work done so im out of work for a bit I cant play any news games and its also how I post news articles when I find a few interesting ones so bare with me and thank you for understanding I hope to be back soon thank you all have a good day and game on
So today I checked out the demo for upcoming Narco Check i wanna thank the folks over at Craftone Games for sending me the demo its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.
So the demo was short maybe about 30 minutes of game play but in those 30 minutes I learned enough to know I wanna play more.
So your sent to an abandoned airport somewhere in Columbia and your job is to bring it back to life this is the start of the demo and I assume the game as well so you start cleaning up the out side taking out the trash then you move inside and get the place working again you turn on power then name your airport and boom its open season.
The demo takes place across 3 in game days where you learn how to function and figure stuff out if you ever played papers please you will feel right at home you match the information from there id to what’s on the computer if everything is good to go you let them pass if not you reject them.
Eventually you get to the point where you start finding contraband and you can have people arrested and then charge them for release it was awesome.
This game has huge potential and I cant wait to see the final product I had so much fun running my own airport keeping things cleaned and taking care of customers the demo is out on steam so check it out thank you craftone again for sending me this demo much appreciated have a great day and game on.
