At one point the game was broken, but at some point the devs did fix it. Defective can no be played in full, though the transition between chapter three and four is so long you'll think the game just black screened after a while. As a game, it's functional. There's only one mode, but two styles of play. Normal is One Night for Ched difficulty in the speed enemy bullets fly at you, and an easy mode thanks to the Superhot style slow motion function implemented. I didn't have much fun alternating or running without the slowing camera, so I just left it on the whole time. (Go ahead, judge me. I do what I want.) But is Defective fun? Eh, it's ok. The stages are ok with enough of a change to make them to not feel somewhat repetitive, but the objectives are all about the same. Find blah, find exit.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
