Crusader Kings III on console is nothing short of amazing

Matthew Smail May 17, 2022 0
I’ve often bemoaned the fact that console gamers never seem to get “proper” versions of grand strategy games. There are probably two or maybe three reasons for this — the first and second are because of how consoles are made; with limited…

Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest is a sky-high remake

Matthew Smail May 16, 2022 0
It can be a bit of a challenge to review games that are subject to a remake. Sometimes I have a strong opinion, or on other occasions I’ve never even heard of a particular game. In some cases, I didn’t like the original game, or at the very…

Rogue Legacy 2 redefines the roguelike genre, without changing anything

Matthew Smail May 11, 2022 0
I don’t have a great relationship with the roguelike genre. The idea of repeatedly throwing myself at a variable (and often unfair) task over and over again, usually for marginal gains (if any) and always for the reward of doing the same…

Why you should pull the trigger on Colt Express Big Box

Matthew Smail May 9, 2022 0
Big Box versions of popular board games can be a bit of a mixed, erm, box. It can be extremely tempting to think of the “value” you’re getting when investing in a box that includes a base game and any number of expansions, both in terms of…

Clash of Cultures Monumental Edition is the Civ VI of board games

Matthew Smail May 6, 2022 0
Whilst I’ve previously gone on record to say that Through the Ages might be the ultimate civilization-building simulator, there’s no doubt that it does its thing in a fairly abstract way — as do other Civ builders such as Civilization: a…

Sheriff of Nottingham (Second Edition) takes bluffing games to a whole new level

Matthew Smail Apr 29, 2022 0
Bluffing has always been a cornerstone of traditional card games, with games like Go Fish, Bluff and S**thead (or your local variant thereof) all being popular classics the world over. But sometimes, a game like Sheriff of Nottingham comes…

Blood Rage is late to the digital party, but you still Mead it in your life!

Matthew Smail Apr 26, 2022 0
When I think of iconic modern board games, Blood Rage occupies the top spot in terms of the genre that is affectionately known as “Ameritrash". This area control game from legendary designer Eric M. Lang and big-budget publisher CMON is…

Ankh: Gods of Egypt: Pharaoh expansion adds little complexity, but lots of fun

Matthew Smail Apr 22, 2022 0
If you’ve read my recent review of Ankh: Gods of Egypt, then you’ll know how big a fan I am of Eric Lang’s epic “Mythic” trilogy. Ankh is a fantastic game in its most basic form, but as with most games launched via Kickstarter, there are…

5 Minute Read — Space Engineers on console (Xbox Series X)

Matthew Smail Apr 20, 2022 0
Open-world crafting and survival games can be daunting at the best of times, but when you take the standard approach to resource collection, base building, survival and ultimately combat and then put it in space; you have an entirely more…

Ticket to Ride: 15th Anniversary Edition is a very special thing indeed

Matthew Smail Apr 18, 2022 0
If you’re reading this review, then I’d be willing to bet a lot of money — maybe even a crisp fiver — that you’ve heard of Ticket to Ride. Even if you’re here because you're curious about whether you should take the step of purchasing it as…
