Escape From Duckov Review
Oct 16, 2025
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and for Escape From Duckov is that. It clearly looks to Escape from Tarkov as inspiration, and comparisons are inevitable when 81% of the name matches. It evens goes so far as to ape so much of the weapons, ammo, attachments, items, systems, and locales that it’s hard for the game to present its own identity in contrast. That said, Escape From Duckov is an accessible top-down PVE extraction shooter, but it leaves me wanting more originality and fun that it claims to have.
BALL x PIT Review
Oct 15, 2025
BALL x PIT (pronounced Ball Pit) is just as fun as the ones you’d play in as a kid, except here there’s no chance of catching a disease from it. Not to be reductive, but this is essentially Breakout meets Vampire Survivors meets Stardew Valley, albeit with its own flavor and dressing. This is a game of endless combinations of builds and loadouts for an action roguelite with unique twists to keep you coming back for “just one more run”. In general, I think ‘addiction’ is too strong a word in almost any context, especially games. When it comes to BALL x PIT, it’s evident that it has all the hooks to be the next fixation to enter the zeitgeist.
