Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored is an non-family friendly expansion for the reptilian…
I appreciate that that’s a question of taste more than anything else. Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored doesn’t care about taste at all, and you’d better be comfortable with the other players if you’re going to wheel this one out.
Edifier MR5 – Big Speakers, Quality Audio
Edifier has bought out its next iteration of speakers with the Edifier MR5, a very hefty pair of speakers for general use in pretty much any way you can think of, from anywhere between your television set to a personal desktop. The MR5s…
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Reloaded
The new cards are really more of the same, so don’t expect a seismic shift in the gameplay. Things like identifying which player most recently pooped, or delivering wedding vows to another player are pretty funny in most situations.
Balancing creative vision with gameplay in The Valley Beyond
The Valley Beyond could turn into a great example of how a first-time dev can create something interesting, varied and engaging. Not every game needs to be the best at everything, and the core vision of The Valley Beyond is solid enough to…
Steel Century Groove – Pop, lock, and load
It’s certainly fun, and once the mechanics open up, you’ll have a really good time. The presentation leaves a lot to be desired though. Whilst the Tenzens look neat enough, you won’t get to pay much attention to them in battle due to how…
Dave the Diver is an exceptional adventure — but do darker themes linger beneath the surface?
Dave the Diver on Xbox is a vibrant, genre-blending adventure that combines deep-sea exploration with restaurant management, delivering one of my favourite experiences of recent years. It’s colourful, funny, and packed with content — but…
Cronos: The New Dawn is a well-crafted time-bending sci-fi survival horror
Cronos: The New Dawn on Xbox is a survival horror that thrives on its oppressive atmosphere and otherworldly tone, delivering a bleak and memorable experience that occasionally meanders into the overly familiar. With a heavy, cumbersome…
McDonalds launches it’s own trading cards: McDonald’s Universe
Trading cards have been on the rise for quite some time, so it's no surprise to see new types of cards popping up here and there. Launching at the London Card Show, McDonald's has created their own set of collectible, trading cards;…
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle – Will this game blow up?
Don’t Press That Mine Turtle is essentially truth or dare. Each player has three cards that have challenges on them that they then set for another player to complete. If the recipient can’t or won’t complete that challenge, they have to…
Escape From Tarkov – Duck Hunt Event
Escape From Tarkov has just released its new event in partnership with Escape From Duckov, two wildly different aesthetics but with enough similarities in both name and content that they’ve pulled together to give players a taste of what…

Dynasty Warriors has been a staple name for many people, encompassing a good portion of their lifetime. A pioneer of the Musou genre and introducing many to the Romance of The Three Kingdoms and with the new Dynasty Warriors Origins:…
Coffee Rush is fast, fun and somehow… Extremely stressful!
Coffee Rush, published by Korea Board Games, is a title that looks deceptively light at first glance — bright colours, cheerful artwork, amazingly overproduced components and a theme built around brewing drinks and serving customers — but…
The Last Book – The Diary of the Last Earthling
From Hungry Minds, the Dubai-based group that brought us The Book - The Ultimate Guide To Rebuilding Civilization comes their second offering: The Last Book. There are books that tell stories, and then there are books that feel like…
Dark Tides puts you in the role of a phony psychic turned exorcist
Some game pitches sound a lot like they were conceptualised during fever dreams, and — certainly — if you'd told me that I'd be playing a point and click game about a fake psychic solving mysteries with a talking weasel mascot then I'd…
Nioh 3 is the ultimate artistic expression of the Masocore Genre
Nioh 3 on PlayStation 5 is the most confident, ambitious, and wide‑ranging evolution of Team Ninja’s so-called “Masocore” formula to date. It draws heavily on the precision and intensity of Nioh and Nioh 2, folds in lessons from Wo Long:…
Honeycomb: The World Beyond is an ecological, survival exploration adventure
Drill down into a lot of sci-fi and you get to a handful of hero archetypes. Among the most memorable are the gung-ho marine, the loyal alien warrior and the resourceful scientist. The former solves problems with actions rather than words,…
Tainted Grail is a fantastic successor to the Elder Scrolls games of the last generation
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is a sprawling, atmospheric open-world RPG that reimagines Arthurian legend through a lens of darkness and decay, drawing inspiration from the rich board game and RPG lore that inspired it. Tainted Grail:…
Get ready to feel the highs and lows of the slot machine with CloverPit
From developer Panik Arcade — a relative newcomer — CloverPit comes hot out of the gate and is already grabbing attention. CloverPit is chasing two very loud modern trends. First, the ongoing roguelite renaissance that truly kicked off in…
Republic of Pirates is a steady but unremarkable take on city-building and RTS
Republic of Pirates on Xbox One is a promising blend of city builder, light strategy, and basic real-time naval combat, wrapped in a breezy Caribbean aesthetic that often feels about as crusty as Barnacle Bill. Developed by Crazy Goat…
Battlefield Commander WWII: Best to pay attention or they’ll stomp you.
Battlefield Commander WWII, although it’s still in early access, it is still a brain twister. Hardcore strategy, man.
