Very much someone’s prototypical idea of teenagers thinking the 1980s were “just so radical my dudes” thanks to things like Stranger Things, the cozy-punk slice-of-life sim sets you up as the manager of a small independent record store. Let’s be honest…

Dungeons of Hinterberg (PC) – Review https://phenixxgaming.com/2024/08/20/dungeons-of-hinterberg-pc-review/ https://phenixxgaming.com/2024/08/20/dungeons-of-hinterberg-pc-review/#respond Tue, 20 Aug 2024 17:00:08 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=55307 Set deep in the Austrian Alps, Microbird Games’ Dungeons of Hinterberg is one of those weird titles that seemed to explode out of nowhere and jump to the top of my wishlist. You play as Luisa Dorfer, a young Austrian woman with a Bavarian name (that’s the only German-Austrian link, I promise) who visited the botanical gardens of Vienna when she was a child. During that trip with her family…

From Space (PC) Review https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/12/19/from-space-pc-review/ https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/12/19/from-space-pc-review/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2022 18:00:12 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=42160 From Space is a new top-down arcade shooter from developer Triangle Studios and published by Curve Games. The game places you into the shoes of an elite specialist who must defend the earth from an alien infestation. The story of From Space is relatively simplistic for the most part. It acts more as a vehicle for gameplay and the resulting action, which is the core focus of the gameplay.

Chenso Club (PS4) – Review https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/09/21/chenso-club-ps4-review/ https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/09/21/chenso-club-ps4-review/#respond Wed, 21 Sep 2022 19:00:09 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=39620 As I sit obsessed with Vampire Survivors and Rogue Legacy 2, about to start up Hades, I thought, why not add another Rogue-like to my plate? I can’t get enough of this style of game, as the replay value is through the roof and the creativity is endless. So, I decided to give my attention to Chenso Club, a cute-looking Rogue-like from the minds of Pixadome who only have one other game to their name…

Manual Samuel (Switch) – Review https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/09/07/manual-samuel-switch-review/ https://phenixxgaming.com/2022/09/07/manual-samuel-switch-review/#respond Wed, 07 Sep 2022 19:00:07 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=39266 Humans are lucky. We have an Autonomic Nervous System that tells our heart when to beat, our lungs when to breathe, and our eyes when to blink. Manual Samuel isn’t so lucky. You see, Samuel was an entitled rich douche, who gets hit by a car and dies. Once he gets to Hell, he makes a deal with Death: if he can survive 24 hours doing everything manually, he gets to live. This is where you come in.

I Am Fish (PC) – Review https://phenixxgaming.com/2021/11/11/i-am-fish-pc-review/ https://phenixxgaming.com/2021/11/11/i-am-fish-pc-review/#respond Thu, 11 Nov 2021 20:00:27 +0000 https://phenixxgaming.com/?p=30137 I Am Fish, the sequel to the undeniably unique I Am Bread, was released almost two months ago. It’s a title I was looking forward to, especially given that it was provided on Xbox Game Pass. Although other titles kept me from getting around to it, I finally made the time to play an adorable game about controlling very adorably animated fish. Amidst my excitement, however, there was a lingering…
