Recently, GameCritics was sent a package containing two items for review: the Fixture S1 Switch Pro Controller Clip and the Fixture S1 Carrying Case.

Nadir has made a bold gambit with its title. It literally means ‘the lowest point’ and by calling it this, the developers are serving review writers countless pun opportunities on a silver platter. Luckily, now that I’ve had a glimpse of its promising content with a demo that shows off the combat system, I think it may actually be fairly safe.
HIGH Beautiful pixel art and worthwhile exploration.
LOW The plotholes.
WTF The Ancient Catacombs.
HIGH The aesthetics and art design are on point.
LOW Bugs haunt this game.
WTF Collecting trees for businessmen.

As a steampunk puzzle-platformer set in a lush fantasy world, Project Grove puts players in the shoes of an alchemist hunting for magical plants to catalog and research.
The world has seen better days in Shockwork Games’ new tactical RPG Alder’s Blood.

The subject of this installment: Voidrun, available on PC and developed and published by Benjamin Soulé.
HIGH That first patch.
LOW With friends like these…
WTF I need to pollute the seas to save me from a kraken?
HIGH Precise, rewarding combat that feels great.

WTF The main character’s pretty charming despite being a decapitated corpse.
