Yupitergrad — Comrade Spider-Man
Yupitergrad’s puzzles are mostly fairly basic but the action of solving them is very satisfying and getting a handle on the momentum physics suddenly becomes second nature after 20-30 minutes
Eternal Hope — A Candle in the Wind
Immediately drawing parallels with indie classics Inside and Limbo, Eternal Hope presents a somewhat more colourful premise than the gloomy grayscale approach taken by Limbo
Res Arcana — a modest tableau-builder that is more than the sum of its parts
It’s okay, I think, to be disappointed by something when you first see it. I felt this way when I opened Res Arcana — a game I had heard so many good things about — only to find what seemed to be a very meagre set of components. It’s also…
LudoCherry’s Signature Skirt Is An Adventure On Print
One year later from the inaugural article, Hira reviews LudoCherry's Signature print skirt and gives their thoughts!
Cyber Shadow — Dashing to the bits
Shadow awakens in a contained city of ruin, Mekacity; finding fallen clan members along the way to stitch together his future. Platforming through the city tempered by a slow burn of gameplay. Timed dash moves and bail me out airstrikes…
Kramer and Kiesling’s Renature is an abstract, ecological delight
Renature (pronounced Re-nature, not Ren-a-ture as I keep calling it) is a brand new IP co-published internationally by PSC Games, Pegasus Spiele, Capstone Games and Deep Print Games, among others. With such an illustrious group of backers…
Curious Cargo is a seriously complex two player showdown
I don’t know if it’s because of the current restrictions on travel and socialising, or just pure chance, but recently I seem to find myself playing two-player games a lot more frequently than I used to. Not only that, but with games like…
Phantom Brigade — Hindsight is a Wonderful Thing
A new varied take on mech combat with deep customization and strategy mechanics, the timeline mechanic adds additional options to tweak, deploy and effect countermeasures at every turn and at each stage of an engagement.

Everspace 2 (Early Access) — Ready to Take Flight
Having played the demo last year, I was excited to see more of what Developers Rockfish had to offer with their space shooter darling. Whilst their first outing had a focus on roguelike elements, Everspace 2 swaps this out for an open…
Synth Riders — Settling into its own Rhythm
More recent tracks released by the developers; as either paid or free content; have become more complex and it’s clear the developers have taken a step back and looked at the progression of their player base
Commandos 2 on Switch is a bumpy trip down memory lane
If you’re anything like me, there’s a good chance that nostalgic feelings often lead to bad decisions. Where video game choices are concerned, this is a frequent challenge that I face. In Commandos 2 — a game that I remember being…
Poker Club — All In or Bust
When Poker Club renders correctly it’s even more unfortunate that the poker is only “OK”. The basics are there. Dealing, blinds, bets etc. etc. but there’s no feeling in it.
Redout: Space Assault — From race to space
There was little room for careful positioning and picking my targets due to the sheer volume of stuff on camera. Off-camera too, as there were a number of times in which I was being attacked from off-screen without me being able to do…
Hidden Deep — Deep sea mining, early impressions
Hidden Deep takes place in a remote, submerged, deep sea mining rig with the title screen depicting a small submarine transiting your crew to the facility. The eerie silence of the rig is pretty apparent and visually the style reminds me of…
Afro-Fantasy meets area control in IELLO’s Kitara
There’s no doubt that for a continent so rich in culture, Africa is massively under-represented in both board and videogames, with only a few examples in each area that truly explore mankind’s cradle of life. Kitara, which is designed by…
Dash Dash World — Dash Team Racing
Dash Dash World is a VR racing game that borrows from other kart racers, but at the end of the day, does its own thing, for better or worse.
Sunlight Brings Calm in a Short, Meditative Experience
Sunlight allows its players to experience a fleeting moment of calm and understanding in its forests.
Deadeus — Dreams of Death
Deadeus is a horror title for the Game Boy that offers a sinister tale of dark nightmares and a boy who has a difficult choice to make.
Infernal Radiation — Argent energy this ain’t
You’ll fight demons to free the humans, only to find out what led to them being possessed in the first place. This is what made me question whether this was meant to be a horror game or not. Whilst the atmosphere is dark and horrific, the…
