Overland [PC] Review

Our blogger and streaming extraordinaire Nick recently posted his review of the PC horror/survival game Overland. Overland landed a respectable 7.5/10 and seems to be a solid, albeit uneven, game. Might be worth a look if turn based horror is your thing: 

Overland can be enjoyed on its surface merits. It is a stylish, humane and sober turn-based survival game. It is a story generator that forces tough, desperate decisions. It has infinite replayability and is catnip for achievement hunters. But I see a game that can do more, even within its confined spaces and limited narrative.

Launching Buttonmashing Galleries

We recently started toying with the idea of collecting screenshots of games we have been playing and creating galleries . With the ease of simply pressing a button on the Switch controller or hitting F12 in Steam, we’ve begun to amass a collection of screenshots we find particularly charming, poignant or funny. Some of the screenshots come with a story and others are just moments in a game we want to share.

The gallery is small at the moment, as I work through my Steam screenshot library, but we have big plans to expand the library to include a wide range of games and images.

We don’t use any special tools others use to turn screenshots into works of art but the simple, home-grown approach works for what we’re trying to convey — captured moments in time that caught our attention or took our breath away. We hope you like them, too.

So head over to the Gallery Page and watch this space as we add more.
