Warriors: Abyss – Dynastic
When you complete a combat encounter, you’ll get to choose which path to take next, much like in Hades. Many of these will lead you to a tree which will allow you to form an alliance with one of your unlocked heroes. Each hero has a…
Dr Reiner Knizia’s Rebirth is simple, beautiful and packed with impactful choices
Any experienced gamer will know the name Reiner Knizia — but the good doctor tends to split opinion when it comes to whether his games are any good, or not. Here at B3, we enjoyed Yellow & Yangtze and loved The Quest for El Dorado, but…
Let’s Paint! Halo Flashpoint: Spartans
Double slapchop has you, surprisingly, do this twice. We’re going to paint our first contrast paint on, then dry brush white again, before applying another contrast paint over it.
Spilled! – Oil tell you what I think of this
Aside from oil, you’ll also find yourself scooping up plastic bottles to take home. There’s a certain degree of physics here, with you needing to not overload your scoop or you’ll end up scattering those bottles everywhere, necessitating…
Mullet Madjack is the fast, fresh retro shooter that you need
Imagine a roguelite shooter that mocks the AI-powered, dopamine-fuelled world we’re heading towards with frightening levels of precognition whilst also simultaneously delivering exactly the shot in the arm that it claims all humans will…
Mini City Mayhem – Micro management
As you build, the population will increase until the city is full, at which point people will start to become impatient about how crowded it is. If they run out of patience, you lose. The only way to bring things back under control is to…
Let’s Paint! Maladum: Dungeons of Environ Beasts
I often find beasts and monsters the most interesting things to paint, since there’s a lot of room for artistic interpretation. Maladum: Dungeons of Environ recently made its way into our Top Dungeon Crawlers list based on pure merit, and…
Edifier QR65 – Flashy, medium-sized speakers
After checking out the Edifier M60, I was curious about the slightly larger upgrade that is the Edifier QR65. This speaker is bigger, has more lighting feature, and of course has some fantastic sound quality. You can connect via Bluetooth…
Let’s Paint! Zombicide: Second Edition (Zombies)
Yes, if you hadn’t already guessed it — I’ve been painting a shedload of one of my favourite dungeon crawlers; Zombicide: Second Edition. The base game comes with ten survivors, four abominations and a huge number of walker, runner and…
Dead Letter Dept – Dead on arrival
Over the course of the game, the things you are sent to copy become more unhinged, including correspondences between family members, text from historical and medical textbooks, and even warnings sent directly to you. You’ll get strange…
Songs of Conquest offers turn-based Might and Magic in spades
With a modern, beautiful take on detailed pixel art, a fantastic pace and gameplay that feels like a fantastic balance between old-school and modern, Songs of Conquest flies out of the blocks with an impressive and surprising performance.…
Urban Myth Dissolution Centre – Mythbusters
The challenge isn’t what draws me into Urban Myth Dissolution Centre though. The characters are really enjoyable when they interact with each other. I particularly liked the moments between Azami and Meguriya, with the latter seeming to…
The TurtleBox3D Marvel Zombies insert finally makes CMON’s ridiculous Kickstarter playable
If you’re a dedicated Zombicide fan like I am, your house is probably chock full of boxes upon boxes of Kickstarter expansions filled with beautiful CMON miniatures. Having said that, no matter how much you love the game, I bet you don’t…
Oh My Pigeons is a flick-full race to fill your coop
Fill your flock to win in Oh My Pigeons, a game of nicking and flicking your feathered friends. When you review board games as regularly as we do here at B3, you start to noticed patterns in the games that are released by larger publishers.…
Cats and Seek Osaka – Find Cats in Japan
If you know Robin and I, then you'll know that we have been blasting through every single type of Hidden Object cat game that we've seen appear on our Xbox. This time, we took on Cats and Seek Osaka. This hidden cat game isn’t exactly…
Under Defeat – Helicopter hero
At a glance, this appears to be a fairly by-the-numbers shooter. It does have a neat twist in that your helicopter can pivot. Now, this isn’t the only game to do this by a long shot, but it does play into the manoeuvrability of choppers,…
I’ve spent 20 hours on Path of Exile 2 – and now I’ll never play Diablo IV again
Woah, that’s a big claim right? The undisputed champion of ARPG’s usurped by a free-to-play effort from a lesser studio? I’m sorry Diablo IV fans, but it’s true — Path of Exile 2 is bigger, badder and much more enjoyable to play, with…
Let’s Paint! Hill Tribesmen
In this article, I’ll be looking at painting a basic foot soldier equipped with a sword and shield. I’ll make reference to how to apply this to those with bows and spears as we go. Once again, contrast paints will make up the bulk of this…
Halo: Flashpoint is a PVP Skirmish experienced featuring Microsoft’s familiar Spartans
Halo: Flashpoint from Mantic Games brings the fast paced action of the Halo video game universe to the tabletop. Two players will match wits and face off across a variety of scenarios using authentic characters and weapons from the series…
Dreamcore – Sweet dreams?
Much like other games of its ilk, Dreamcore has you lost in a bizarre liminal space with the sole objective of finding your way out. You see the world through your character’s body-cam, giving the game an eerie found-footage motif that also…
