When we had the opportunity to try out Ravenswatch in Early Access, we had high hopes that the isometric MOBA-coded ARPG could go far so long as it stuck it's 1.0 landing. Well, it has landed, and our ankles hurt. @dieselcaldwell clocks our runs below: pixeldie.com/2024/10/16/rav…

Street Shuffle brings unique ideas to the world of digital card battlers, but lacks the confidence in execution to perform any of its tricks once it takes the stage. pixeldie.com/2024/10/09/str…

Parking Garage Rally Circuit (@walaber) lives up to the expectations of providing a snappy, ska-filled journey hitting that sweet spot on each lap. @dieselcaldwell is not done below: pixeldie.com/2024/10/02/par…

The Fall 2024 Season of Anime is about to roll on through and @dieselcaldwell is watching a few: a 5-year long delayed release, an anime on 3 streaming services, and the latest in Shōnen Jump sport romances: pixeldie.com/2024/09/28/wee…

DeathSprint 66 (@SumoDigitalLtd) captures a visceral sense of speed rarely seen, as well as a whole lot of viscera. pixeldie.com/2024/09/25/dea…

With its 1.0 release just a couple months away and about 3 solid days of in-game time invested, @dieselcaldwell thinks Abiotic Factor is a contender for Game of the Year whenever it goes gold. pixeldie.com/2024/09/18/abi…

Peglin combines Slay the Spire's structure with Peggle-inspired combat, but doesn't make full use of either of its halves. pixeldie.com/2024/09/11/peg…

With Parking Garage Rally Circuit coming out in a few short weeks, we virtually sat down with its creator, @walaber , to go over his journey through the gaming world and his current and future plans for his newest game. pixeldie.com/2024/09/07/sat…

Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers takes a lot of what makes Balatro such a tantalizing piece of gaming and combines the storytelling of Dungeons & Dragons with the money-sucking casino game of Blackjack. It's a frustrating time. @dieselcaldwell hits below: pixeldie.com/2024/09/04/dun…

Clickable links to Steam pages are within the article, but you can follow the devs here as well! @DEATHSPRINT66 @headwaregames @WildBastards @macula_mx @playstarstruck @jyammagames @moonana_ @mossmouth

There’s one week coming up that is absolutely stacked with powerful releases. There’s some AAA additions that could be here, but that’s not us. So indulge with us that from 9/12-9/18, our wallets are screwed. Here’s why: pixeldie.com/2024/08/31/you…

Bendy and the Dark Revival tries to combine two clear subgenres - immersive sims and mascot horror - and fails at both so badly that it beggars belief. pixeldie.com/2024/08/28/ben…

Sometimes a game just doesn't click with you, no matter how badly you want it to. These are 5 of those, but the why is more interesting than the what. pixeldie.com/2024/08/21/5-g…

RKGK / Rakugaki suffers from a slow start and dipping toes into too many pools, but when the tools and tricks hit just right it provides an addicting experience worth getting to. @dieselcaldwell sprays and slides below: pixeldie.com/2024/08/14/rkg…

Infiltraitors (@Pandasaurusgame) blends deduction and induction into a single small box card game that punches well above its weight. It also has a cardboard gun in it. pixeldie.com/2024/08/07/inf…

Kyle got the opportunity to sit down and speak with Eric Lorenz of @AvantBeetle in Atlanta, discussing his goals, his artistic upbringing and drive, and the artistic mediums that surround his showcases. Thanks again for the hospitality Eric! pixeldie.com/2024/08/03/sat…

Combined with a killer soundtrack and an eye-catching color palette, HITM3 (@akaxiri) provides a tour de force of emotional bravery and tactful conversations that stands tall as the crescendo of its trilogy. @dieselcaldwell chows down below: pixeldie.com/2024/07/31/hit…

Machi Koro With Everyone positions itself as the definitive digital implementation of both board games, and what's there is well made, but it does not come free of caveats. pixeldie.com/2024/07/24/mac…

Enmity Engine (@drnkcrnkfranken) pulls from several influences, from Pokémon to Shin Megami Tensei. The result is a unique tabletop fighting game that's fully committed to uncompromised brutality. pixeldie.com/2024/07/17/enm…
