Inscryption — Ignore the OLD_DATA
Upon launching the game, you’ll notice that there’s no option to start a new game, only to continue which seems a bit odd, but if you go with it you’ll be dropped straight into the game. You sit in a dark cabin across from a figure swathed…
Hotel Magnate brings tycoon gameplay back to the lobby
The Tycoon genre is thriving at the moment and, much like with the simulator space, it's spiralling in all sorts of directions. Arcade Oven's Hotel Magnate is grounded entirely in reality and really makes me wonder why there haven't been…
Backbone — The Case That Makes You
Backbone. Backbone, backbone, backbone. Alright. Basics first: this is, as described, a modern take on point and click games. It features detailed, sharply written dialogue and vividly drawn characters. It is rendered in a sort of 2D Pixel…
Foul Play: Once Upon a Crime is a pocket sized murder mystery
Murder mystery games have always been popular with people and we have played many iterations of the formula before, but Foul Play: Once Upon a Crime brings the concept of murder mystery into a single deck of cards that you can take anywhere…
Spin Master League of Legends are here to impress
League of Legends figures from Spin Master certainly keep the kids entertained! I'm not hugely familiar with League of Legends series from Riot Games. Whilst the characters, world, and gameplay are certainly of interest, it looks like a…
Spire of Sorcery: overcomplicated, but interesting
We got our hands on Spire of Sorcery, a turned-based-strategy game in Early Access on Steam. It has a little way to go, but shows promise if you like a lot of complexity to sink your teeth into.
How to Take a Picture of 10 Sheep in The Good Life
The Good Life is a slice of life adventure game where you play as Naomi, a young photographer, looking to pay off her debt through finding out the secrets of the small town she is currently staying in. This game is full of side quests, and…
Bright Memory Infinite — Lightning Fast
The combination of James Bond adjacent set pieces — you have a gunfight on the back of a mid-flight plane for heaven’s sake — and stunning visuals make for a tremendously fun time during those times when it works well. Even better, is if…
Looking back at The Lord of the Rings Adventure Card Game: Definitive Edition
Back in the day, I used to be a huge fan of the Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers series. As time went by, though, the series was effectively replaced by an ever-more-monetised model, and I don’t think that I’ve played a card…
The Good Life is a Bonkers Slice of Life Dive into British Mythology
Labelled as a murder mystery, 'Debt Repayment RPG' The Good Life is somehow even more confusing than the description given by the developers. That said, if you persevere through the onboarding and tutorials, and punch ahead through the…

Urban Strife could be the best turn-based, squad-based strategy game for years
Society has broken apart into gangs and pockets of survivors. Urban Strife starts you off freshly rescued from a near-fatal crash and challenges you to save an ailing, failing community of elderly survivors from the wandering undead and the…
The Eternal Cylinder is Xbox’s most unique game
Sometimes, I am sent a game to review and everyone agrees that it might be a flight of fancy or a passing interest, rather than something to play from start to finish to hunt down every achievement. Usually, such games receive relatively…
Unpacking has you moving into spaces, putting your life together.
When it comes to adorable, relaxing games I can’t seem to get enough of them lately. I enjoy spending my evenings on the couch — not having to think too much — while Dann and I play video games together. Our latest adventures took place in…
The Song in the Smoke — Prehistoric Survival in VR
The Song in the Smoke has an interesting art style that, at times, almost feels like a living canvas with thick oil paint used to bring to life the surroundings and inhabitants.
Keyword: A Spider’s Thread — Thread Dead Redemption
