CARRION is a new twist on the classic metroidvania formula that is tried and true. Taking a more violent and scary approach this game looks like it could be something special. In a market oversaturated with 2D platformers will CARRION be able to set itself apart? Gameplay CARRION is a

The weirdly-titled game I’ll refer to as Void Terrarium is just as strange as its title suggests. In this dungeon crawler you’ll be hunting for supplies to take care of a human child in the middle of a toxic hellscape. Does this peculiar combination have any merit or
