The lovely people over at Play Ducky sent us a goodie crate denoting the 5th Anniversary of 'Melon Sandbox', their explosive sandbox UGC! It's a nifty kit! Candles, buttons, and an "Apple Juice" bottle that nearly netted me a Darwin Award. Lots of confetti too, but I think it's well-deserved. ~ GH

SILENT HILL Townfall tries something new, shifting perspectives and de-emphasizing combat. Despite looking and sounding great, with a story that features multiple satisfying endings, the gameplay lets it down. playday.one/2026/09/21/silent-hill-…

CONTROL Resonant had a frustratingly obtuse start and an incredible ending. It is a worthy successor to a similarly flawed but great game. It manages to outpace the original with a far more satisfying story, and some of the best traversal in a long…

Ascend to Zero brings some of my favorite elements to the roguelite genre. Its late-game focus on gear sets adds one last unique element to a fun, great-sounding, surprisingly deep Survivors-like. playday.one/2026/07/10/ascend-to-ze…

Thank You For Your Application is stressful fun. It will demand your attention at all times, despite its seemingly cozy nature. Quest-frustration aside, it is easy to recommend for those who love games that make 'work' fun.
