Nolan's Review (@nolans.review)

its Ultrakill x Magicka Spellcrafting !! #ad #vincit They have a free playtest going on October 26th, so go wishlist the game to get notified. Genuinely, if you enjoyed Ultrakill or Magicka, this game is an insane combination of both. The mangika art style is beautiful too, it's chaotic but in the best way. "Vincit is a fast-paced co-op FPS that combines the relentless movement and close-range intensity of arena shooters like Ultrakill with a deeply creative, Magicka-inspired spellcrafting system. At the heart of the game is a unique bullet customization system. Every bullet can be infused with elemental effects such as Fire, Water, Electricity, Healing, Nails, Grapples, and more. These effects interact not only with enemies, but also with each other and the environment, allowing players to create increasingly creative combinations and chain reactions. Combat is built around experimentation and player expression. Rather than simply shooting enemies, players are constantly manipulating projectiles in real time, combining effects, improvising with physics-based interactions, and discovering new ways to approach encounters. Visually, Vincit stands out through its striking frame-by-frame 2D animations, manga-inspired character designs, and surreal blend of western and cosmic horror aesthetics."

you lost your flock, now you commit crimes... #ad@milktoothgames #badmagpie This trailer made me cry and yet so excited to try this game out. There's a FREE demo if you want to give it a go. You play as a little bird with a missing wing, who commits crimes and collects shiny trinkets to try and win the love of this mysterious star. Genuinely, this looks amazing and I hope you enjoy the edit I put together for it 🩷 "Explore a small, densely packed, non-linear open world full of things to peck, steal, combine, and meddle with. Bad Magpie runs on a delightfully elastic cartoon logic. Screech into a megaphone to shatter glass. Peck flint to spark fires. Drop an apple in oil and see what happens. Tear through the world in a fury, or carefully sweep every corner leaving no stone unpecked. There's no dialogue, no text, and no cutscenes. Just a world that rewards anyone curious enough to mess with it. Every puzzle has multiple solutions. Most of them are intentional. You want the star. The star wants trinkets. But trinkets don’t come free. Not when there’s meteorites to be found. So what’s the use of wallowing? You have shiny things to find."

You wander through autumn forests, forage for ingredients, brew potions, tame animals, and decorate your cottage however you want.

It’s been in Early Access since 2024, and the full 1.0 release is set for October 26, 2026.

Part 53 !! Leave your game in the comments #bringmehope This game has a FREE demo !! If you're into 8bit RPG games like Undertale, please go give it a try and tell me what you think. It apparently takes the combat of Enter the Gungeon and merges it into a rich, heartfelt story about love, loss and family, so you'll have more to focus on than just shooting. You can also use your environment to your advantage, like setting the grass on fire, electrifying enemies standing in water, chaining an oil slick into a bunch of explosions, and so on.

Part 52 !! Leave your game in the comments #subnautica I hate the ocean, but apparently this game is nothing but something to love. I watched a few people play through this as a speed run and it's wild bro. Everybody I know loves this game so go check it out if you haven't !! Oh and they also just released the second game this year; Subnautica 2. "Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - all while trying to survive.

The clock is ticking to find water, food, and to develop the equipment you need to explore. Collect resources from the ocean around you. Craft diving gear, lights, habitat modules, and submersibles.

Part 51 !! Leave your game in the comments #cyberpunk2077 This is one of the most popular games so it won't surprise me if you've played it, but I haven't yet.

Part 49 !! Leave your game in the comments #lobotomycorporation This game is gore-heavy horror, so I mean halloween is just around the corner, but it might not be what you want from a horror game lol it seems like an insanely unique management sim, but still probably not something I'd play. What do you think ?? "Our game was inspired by the monsters birthed of various inspirations featured in games, film, and series, such as the SCP Foundation, Cabin in the Woods, and Warehouse 13. Going further, it was developed with this thought: “What if those monsters were real, and your job were to manage them?” You will be playing as the Manager of Lobotomy Corporation, a company in which such creatures are contained and managed. Order your employees to perform work with and on the creatures and watch the results expectantly. Gather energy produced by the monsters and fulfill the quota each day, expand the facility, and manage even more strange beings. In this game, the player will face an ever-present sense of tension and dread as they progress through each day."

Part 48 !! Leave your game in the comments #brotato Just in case you ever wanted to be a potato with two pistols, they have a game for that. Genuinely, this game looks dope. It does feel pretty similar to ya know... most top down action-roguelites but still, each has their own unique setup to make your experience tailored. Have you played this one ?? "Brotato is a top-down arena shooter roguelite where you play a potato wielding up to 6 weapons at a time to fight off hordes of aliens. Choose from a variety of traits and items to create unique builds and survive until help arrives. A spaceship from Potato World crashes onto an alien planet.

Autofiring, fast runs (under 30 mins), hundreds of items and weapons, and up to 4 players."

is Gears of War: E-Day actually worth it ?? #gearsofwareday Been considering picking this game up, but if it's anything like Call of Duty, it's just not worth getting it too early because positive reviews get inflated, bugs haven't surfaced, etc. so if you've actually played it, let me know your thoughts !! "Experience the horror and brutality of Emergence Day. Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, join Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago in a gripping origin-story campaign as the Locust Horde first erupt from below, igniting a desperate fight for survival. Rally your squad and fight on in multiplayer with a reimagination of Gears’ iconic PvE mode, Horde Siege, or go head-to-head with a refined Versus PvP.* Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers the most immersive Gears yet."
