If you’re reading this review, then I’d be willing to bet a lot of money — maybe even a crisp fiver — that you’ve heard of Ticket to Ride. Even if you’re here because you're curious about whether you should take the step of purchasing it as…

I'm not sure where to even begin with Aztech Forgotten Gods, so let's start at the beginning. Almost two years ago Lienzo studio teased an announcement for an alternate reality future of Mesoamérica people. Personally, the project having…

The JBL Quantum 610 is more than adequate enough for the discerning gamer with a simple setup, massive battery life, hours of comfort and most importantly punchy, clear audio.

Mörk Borg, which translates from Dark Castle in Swedish, is a dark fantasy, incredibly metal, Tabletop RPG. The rulebook itself is an artistic masterpiece, with everything down to the font and backgrounds taken into consideration on a…

Plenty of games threaten you with death, but few make walking into the light your first action. Souldiers does, and you'd best become familiar with death quick, because it's a key part of its learning curve. I've been slashing and dashing…

The likes of Phantasmagoria, The 11th Hour, and Night Trap weren’t really all that great, and were more of an experiment now that developers had all this capacity on new-fangled CD-ROMs. So they’d fill them up with video and build a game…

Beat Arena grants you the opportunity of playing in a VR rock band with classic tracks from Konami titles and the Bemani games.

How do you define a happy city? Is it the number of shops and banks a city has? Is it the public spaces; the parks and libraries? Or is it access to work via industrial and commercial districts? In Happy City, you’ll balance these decisions…

Game Dev Diaries is a series of articles and videos that follows a cohort of young game design students as they embark on their final projects. With interviews, insights, and interesting viewpoints, these articles aim to showcase these…

Puzzles in a controlled, scientific facility and a wisecracking robot might feel like a familiar combination, but Unbinary shouldn't be passed over because of its familiar-sounding set-up. VR, in its modern form, has now been around for…

Along with several other games that have really “changed” the scene for me (including Scythe and Terraforming Mars) Eric Lang’s 2015 Blood Rage is a watermark in gaming history. Blood Rage had it all — Vikings, amazing miniatures, tight…

Drawing inspiration from Middle-Eastern stories such as Aladdin and adding an almost Steampunk-like element to them might sound like a crazy idea, but that is exactly what makes Airborne Kingdom an interesting and unusual prospect. A serene…

My favorite type of games on our Meta Quest 2 has been games that allow us to create. I have, for example, spent a lot of time in Job Simulator, creating different foods for customers who are waiting. It’s an easy, almost mindless game…

When Crusader Kings III launched back in August 2020 it launched more feature-complete than I had originally expected. Crusader Kings II had been an experiment in expansion-pack led, live-product redesign for Paradox... in fact, it was a…

Although apparently in the minority, I used to consider Kevin Costner’s Waterworld one of my favourite films. I think what I liked about it was the unique take on the idea of a world ravaged by global warming and what that meant to the…

Three is the magic number

A cute, relaxing builder, Shroomchitect tasks you with building the perfect mushroom home for your new friends.

Like any good Choose Your Own Adventure-style narrative RPG, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante presents the reader/player with innumerable difficult choices — but unlike most adventures that follow this style, The Life and Suffering of…

Individual rooms are somewhat unique, each with its own event that seems to be unrelated to what’s come before. There are spooky children’s rooms, abodes for a stereotypical cat lady, and even a PT homage. I think the items you collect from…

Ashamed as I am to admit it, I remember when the first Serious Sam game was released around twenty years ago. Even then, Serious Sam was positioned as the antidote to increasingly complex, objective driven first-person shooters like Ghost…
