Rob is a teacher, a father, a husband and a gamer. He's been the latter for longer than the former 3 combined. Probably. He likes pretty much every genre, but puzzle platformers tend to upset his brain.
CyberHeroes Arena DX understands the mechanics of the genre leader, in that you simply move your character around the area whilst they automatically fire weapons. Enemies spawn in and move towards you, intent on your death. In that regard,…
Relic Space is an ambitious turn-based 4x game!
The whole game is a fairly fast-paced turn-based affair, and combat is no exception. When it’s your turn, you can move to another hex and fire your weapons as well as activate skills. There’s an interesting movement model, with you being…
The Dark Side of the Moon – Think Floyd?
Considering the genre of The Dark Side of the Moon, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on, but you’ll need to guide Dean through the local village and beyond, making decisions at key points that will alter the direction of…
Seven Doors – Adorable?
Now, I don’t want to spoil too much here, as some of the puzzles ahead of you are quite interesting. The first one certainly isn’t one of them, but it does teach you that the way to progress is to find a skull and place it in the receptacle…
Ten Dates – More dates than Craig David
The choices of date are quite diverse, representing people from many walks of life, including LGBT, those with disabilities, and neurodivergent individuals. It’s nice to have all different types of people here, with many characters showing…

Just when I thought I’d finally kicked my Vampire Survivors habit, along comes the DLC expansion to pull me straight back in. The base game is…
The Callisto Protocol – That’s no moon
As a system, it’s quite elegant, and I initially quite liked the back-and-forth of a combat encounter. Hits feel weighty from both sides, and the fantastic animation lends a visceral feeling to the battle. The problem is that every fight…
Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – Sisters of Battle
The Sisters of Battle have already appeared in Battlesector as part of the main Blood Angels campaign, though their time in the spotlight was incredibly underwhelming, being fairly weak compared to the storyline’s main faction. Any concerns…
Castle Renovator – Lord of all I survey
Still, the actual mechanics are pretty simple. Pick up the rubbish, scrub a brush on stains, pick up bits of wood to repair holes, and fix broken tables and chairs. There’s a degree of enjoyment in this aspect of the game, as regardless of…
Krampus Kills – Killing Christmas
In Krampus Kills you’ll be avoiding the titular demon, solving light puzzles, and fighting off hordes of lesser enemies in your bid to survive the night and maybe turn over a new leaf. The problem here is that the game feels quite confused…
