Flotsam Review (PC)

After years in Early Access, Flotsam has finally launched its full version on PC, and it’s a fascinating entry in the city-building genre. Developed by Pajama Llama Games, Flotsam takes a concept that feels both timely and imaginative: a world drowned in water, where survival depends on ingenuity and cooperation rather than conflict. Instead of grim, oppressive tones, Flotsam offers something rare—a hopeful post-apocalypse. The game begins with a simple setup: a small raft, a handful of drifters, and an…

Abra-Cooking-Dabra Demo Impressions (PC)

Abra-Cooking-Dabra is one of those games that immediately grabs your attention with its quirky premise. You’re a chef whisked away into a Wonderland-inspired café after answering a mysterious email, and your overseer? A monocle black cat with an attitude. The art style leans into gothic whimsy, and the smooth jazz soundtrack adds an oddly relaxing backdrop to what quickly becomes a frantic cooking experience. The demo introduces its core concept with surprising elegance: cooking through cards. Every ingredient, tool, and…

Drywall Eating Simulator Review (PC)

Drywall Eating Simulator is one of those games that makes you do a double take. The title alone sounds like a meme, something you’d expect to see in a joke thread on Reddit. But once you dive in, you realize it’s more than absurd humor—it’s a surreal, biting commentary on modern life, wrapped in a mechanic so strange it becomes oddly therapeutic. You play as an unnamed office worker navigating the suffocating monotony of corporate existence. The game drops you…

HUANUO TitanLift Heavy Duty Monitor Arm Review

If you’ve ever tried to mount a 49-inch ultrawide monitor, you know the challenge. These screens are massive, heavy, and demand a level of stability that most monitor arms simply can’t deliver. That’s where the HUANUO TitanLift Heavy Duty Monitor Arm comes in—a piece of gear engineered for gamers and creators who refuse to compromise on performance, durability, or aesthetics. The first thing you notice about the TitanLift is its sheer presence. This isn’t a flimsy arm that feels like…

First-Class Letters Board Game Review

I always enjoy an easy to learn, easy to play roll and write experience, and First-Class Letters offers that kind of experience. While all you’ll get in the box is a bad of papers, some pencils, and 4 die, the experience here is still rather unique, while remaining approachable for anyone with the ability to write words and alphabetize things. In First-Class Letters, one player will roll three lettered dice, and those letters will be put in specific boxes on…

Through the Desert Components Overview and Impressions

I don’t think anyone will ever say that AllPlay doesn’t produce really nice games, and they generally do so at an amazing price. We have reviewed a number of their small box games before – check out our thoughts on Lure and Oddland – but this is the first medium sized game we’ve reviewed from them. There is a ton of stuff in this box, and while the gameplay is pretty simple and straightforward, the amount of components might be…

I’m Hooked on Disney Dreamlight Valley Thanks to Wishblossom Ranch

Between the release of the last two DLC packs for Disney Dreamlight Valley, I took a really long hiatus from the game. It wasn’t that the game wasn’t fun anymore, but other priorities starting creeping in. We had a ton of Nintendo games to review, a lot of board games to finish, and so much more. Unfortunately, Disney Dreamlight Valley was just push to the backburner, and eventually it just fell off the stove. Puns aside, sometimes it takes a…

Moonrollers Board Game Review

Despite Moonrollers only arriving last week, I’ve already played it a ton thanks to it being an easy to table experience with light rules and light gameplay. We talked about the components of Moonrollers, but just because a game looks great, doesn’t make it great. Would an IV Studio game that isn’t really all that deep still be successful? Can these guys create an easy to learn, easy to play experience? Although this isn’t the first lighter title from IV…
