Pandemic Hot Zone North America is a smaller, standalone version of Pandemic, complete with a lot of the same concepts, but on a smaller scale, so you can play a bite-sized version. This game is for two to four players, working together, to…

By Christ, this is a good one. I was more or less raised by Gothic literature, as a precocious/pretentious kid, from Poe to Shelley, to later works by Stephen King and Shirley Jackson. The haunted house story is practically engraved in my…

Sometimes a game comes along and it's boiled down tropes into something so simple that it almost seems brand new, but then you blink and realise that what you're looking at is closer to the point of origin for the whole thing. Ozymandias…

Imagine if anyone actually knew much more about the legend of King Arthur besides something about knights and a round table? Imagine if the legendary wizard Merlin were the original Doctor Strange? Well friends, imagine no more — because in…

The Court of Miracles is a two-to-five-player medieval bluffing game where you and your fellow players each look to take over the town through claiming neighbourhoods and more. You'll spend your money on upgrades, and aim to use all of your…

Having recently reviewed Crusader Kings III on Xbox One via GamePass, my appetite for console-based grand strategy simply cannot be sated. With the modern political landscape as tumultuous as it is, I’ve been seeking something a little more…

Ninja Burger is a game that has been out for quite some time. It’s aged, but is still a very fun game that can be enjoyed! Our group had never played Ninja Burger before, so we took a swing at this three to six player dice rolling card game…

Sometimes you get to play a game so ostensibly intriguing, so fully singular in it’s identity and style you just have to sit back a bit and go “games really are amazing.” Cosmic Top Secret, a highly personal, autobiographical game where you…

Jump from shadow to shadow as a Schim, a shadow-surfing frog, in the cool 3D puzzle game of the same name. I don't know about you, but with me there are games that simply keep cropping up. You spot them early in development and then they…

I both love and hate games like Per Aspera. I love the deep, complex simulation that comes with such games, and in this case, I love the rich and interesting story about an increasingly sentient AI called AMI. But, I hate how hundreds of…

All this may sound a little complicated, but for each game I’ve played with different groups, everyone managed to get to grips with play by the end of the first round. The board looks busy, but most things are fairly clear, and whilst you…

Coming straight off of part 1 of Leopold, called The Pendulum of the Dead, our group was left captivated and wanted to get into part 2. You see, the end of the first game leads right into this game, on a massive cliffhanger, so we were…

Right from the off, this game feels very similar to Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay, with a 3D field to explore, and stars to collect. My Little Pony does things a little differently though. Rather than individual levels to…

Tunic is a lesson in tempering expectations for me. First shown off in teaser form back in 2017. Tunic promised ambient music coupled with gameplay through a familiar inspiration. All was quiet until a couple of years later, ISOMETRICORP…

In the future when you need to ship something intergalactically you'll do so using appropriately labelled, painted, stamped and marked cubes. In Hexahedra you're the person who codes the machines to create those crates, although there's a…

The Pendulum of the Dead is a tabletop escape room that plays out in the style of a thriller. In it you are looking to escape an asylum and, from there, save the world from some sort of evil being, which isn’t quite explained at first. It’s…

Recently I have been really enjoying simulator games, and so when Winkeltje: The Little Shop came to Xbox, I was interested in downloading it and seeing what happened. This little shop game has a lot of different options, things to manage,…
