REVIEW – “Moldwasher” is sloppy at times, but cleans up nicely

author image by Chris Selogy | PC Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 22 Jun 2026

With the big success of the PowerWash Simulator games, we are starting to see our first indie games take cues from what makes a power-washing game fun and take it to new places. That is where Moldwasher comes in: a 2D game about cleaning up this incredibly nasty kitchen full of mold, disgusting goo, and more bad things in various parts of the room, due to whatever happened before this game begins. To make things a bit weirder, you’re a sentient piece of sushi that has somehow been tasked with cleaning up these areas with a power washer and various other tools in a game that doesn’t try to be any bigger of a game than it has to be.

REVIEW – “Snap & Grab” is a campy take on Hitman that still needs some work

author image by Chris Selogy | PC Reviews | 0 Comments | 24 Apr 2026

itman is a decade old and successful, but not many studios have really done much with what makes it great. The dense, immersive sandbox environment made for such an amazing comedic stealth game with a ton of content. Nobody did much with it… at least, not until Snap & Grab from the fun indie developer No Goblin.

REVIEW – “MLB The Show 26” hits it out of the park with inclusivity

I’ve been playing the MLB The Show series for nearly 20 years at this point–since they rebranded their MLB series to MLB The Show on the PS2. It’s been impressive to watch the series evolve into a top-tier licensed sports…

REVIEW – “Blossom: The Seed of Life” is a cute survival game that actually ends if you want it to

author image by Chris Selogy | PC Reviews | 0 Comments | 15 Mar 2026

Survival games have been a huge genre in the industry that gets a lot of attention for being a sandbox of creativity and resourcefulness, where you explore a world that has existed before you arrive and will be the same long after you’re done. It’s how most survival games tend to operate. Blossom: The Seed of Life takes a bit of a different approach, as you are a cute robot tasked with reviving this dead world that resembles Mars — everything around you is red, dusty, and barren as you try to bring life back to the world.

REVIEW – “Under the Island” is a fun, cozy take on Zelda’s 2D formula

author image by Chris Selogy | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 16 Feb 2026

Under the Island is presented as a cozy version of that style of action adventure game, which doesn’t really result in the sort of game that comes to mind as a cozy game. It’s more like a Zelda game that isn’t super aggressive to challenge your skills and has a lot of variety to its dungeons to subvert your expectations.

Chris’ Top 10 Games of 2025

author image by Chris Selogy | Best of 2025 Features | 0 Comments | 31 Dec 2025

This year has been quite a challenging year to cover games. The weekly news showed how badly studios did if they didn’t release a hugely successful game and needed funding for their next game, as all of that money seemed to be going to AI bullshit that is soaking up so much of the stock market. So much so that we’re on the verge of a recession when this bubble bursts. It’s a disheartening time to pretend everything is great in this industry when so many have suffered, and others are fearing for their jobs.
