Legend of KeepersGoblinz Studio I’ve never really delved into dungeon management games, not because I had anything against them, it’s just that there really aren’t that many out there. Apparently, one of the classic ones is 1997’s Dungeon Keeper and a more modern take on the genre is this year’s Evil Genius. Also this year…

Not only has it managed to carve out its own niche (it’s one of the only card and dice…
Warhammer 40,000: BattlesectorBlack Lab Games / Slitherine Games Workshop has been accused by many for lending out its venerable Warhammer IPs a little too liberally. Indeed, many of the Warhammer 40,000 games I come across are digital versions of dumpster fires. However, one company that has captured the grimdark vibe of the Warhammer 40K universe…

Mr. PrepperRejected Games When Rejected Games first began working on their disaster preparation simulator, Mr. Prepper, back in 2019, they couldn’t have imagined just how timely it would become.
