I realized something strange when I sat down to play Possessor(s) . I genuinely couldn’t remember if or when I saw anything about it. Which is weird to me because, for a game developed by Heart Machine—makers of one of my favourite games, Hyper Light Drifter —and published by Dev

Once an absent-minded teaching professor and Luca’s former instructor on campus, Professor Foss is now in the clutches of the Knowledge Demon. In pursuit of ever more information, the demon has grotesquely twisted and torn apart his body. Yet, the Professor appears entirely unawa
When it comes to videogames with impeccable vibes, I always think of Heart Machine. Hyper Light Drifter perfectly blends bold pixel art with evocative emptiness in a way that makes that world unforgettable. Solar Ash, meanwhile, transplants that style into a clean-cut 3D environm
