There are games that invite you to sit around a comfy table with friends and enjoy a pleasant evening full of laughs and light-hearted competition. Then there is Arkham Horror: The Card Game. This one hands you a flickering lantern, leans…

Remnants of Yore is a cosy combination of running a store and roguelite action as you build up your stock, complete quests and cruise around town helping anyone and everyone on your adventure.  Remnants of Yore was exhibited at Pocket Gamer…

“There’s coffee in that nebula.” Few lines capture the spirit of Star Trek: Voyager quite like that one, and it’s a fitting starting point for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown, a strategy game that puts you in command of the…

Drop Duchy - Complete Edition dropped onto Xbox Game Pass early this year, so I decided to take a look at this strange puzzle/deck building/rogue-lite. What I found intrigued me. If you've read any of my other reviews, you've probably…

ICARUS: Console Edition is one of the more ambitious survival games to make the leap from PC to Xbox, and in many ways it succeeds in delivering the same atmospheric, punishing, and strangely hypnotic loop that defined the original. The…

Chances to hit, effect procs, damage ranges and luck of the draw have been relevant to gaming for decades – longer if you consider the Pen & Paper RPG origins of those mechanics. Luck can make us cry “Bullshit!” just as easily as it can…

Dewan, from designers Johannes Goupy and Yoann Levet and published by Space Cowboys, is an attractive, thematic strategy game that blends straightforward yet crunchy mechanics with a gentle post-apocalyptic story.  It’s clean, elegant, and…

Creature Companions from Rhino Rock Studios was exhibited at Pocket Gamer Connect London and I sat down and got my hands on an early build of it. It's a brand new game, freshly out of prototyping, that focuses on hatching creatures to…

Some board games require a bit of mind reading, and so need someone that you are familiar with in order to play them. Focus feels like one of these types! It's a two player sort of card game (though all of the cards are square) where you…

There’s something undeniably comforting about a dungeon crawler that knows exactly what it wants to be. From Brain Seal Entertainment — the studio behind other gems like Monarchy (which I happily lost an entire weekend to) and Story of a…

The King Is Watching comes to us from relative unknowns Hypnohead, but is published by the figurative giants tinyBuild. To give you a quick idea of what it's about, Imagine Lord of the Rings, but in this instance the all-seeing eye is not…

EpiXR Games is at it again with another technically playable game with little to no instruction. Battle Puzzle 2048 - Queens of the Abyss (By the grace of the editors, now shortened to BP2048) is a reimagining of the 2048 game everybody was…

Trading cards are everywhere, so I wasn't too surprised when McDonald's released McDonald's CARDS as a part of their 'McDonald's Universe'. You can now order specific meals (not Happy Meals!) to gain packs of cards that you can open and…

I was drawn to playing Get Bit at The Dice Box King's Lynn on a recent visit due to how cute the meeples looked. That's not normally something that I really consider, but these meeples were little divers, with detachable limbs, which just…

It’s not often that you test something which requires you to quite literally sit on the sofa and put your feet up, but for the Krafted Couch Charger that’s exactly the idea. Featuring a wireless charger built into a silicone frame that is,…

Disney’s relatively new Star Wars: Unlimited TCG may have flown under the radar for some, as It certainly had for me, but I was delighted to have a chance to learn and play with the new A Lawless Time cards and build a deck to play against…

I was a huge fan of the Zuma titles back when they first released, so when Zumba - Marble Candy Rush (ZMCR, please Ed?) crossed my desk I was excited — despite the obvious copycat behaviour. A good game is a good game, right? Even when the…

Capes is a turn based strategy RPG set in a world not unlike ours. A shadowy corporation rules the streets, punishing those who try to do good whilst controlling the narrative and labelling them terrorists. The key difference? They have…

Darktide’s new Hivescum DLC was recently released, featuring a brand new class that features a bit of a twist compared to other classes: The ability to craft your own stimulants to enhance yourself mid-fight.  The Hivescum class focuses on…
