Song of Horror — Nothing to do with Daphne & Celeste
Over the years, the likes of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame (or Project Zero as I knew it) have become the poster boys for the genre, but barring the recent Resident Evil remake games, that static camera, super slow-paced…
Valorant — Bred for competition
Let’s get this out the way from the beginning: Valorant definitely isn’t for everyone. Riot Game’s newest venture, Valorant, is a game with competition at its core, and it’s not ashamed to show it. Does that mean it's bad? No. But this…
Darksiders: The Forbidden Land — The Horsemen Ride Again!
There are additional challenges along the way, including escort quests, bosses to fight, and secret doors to open, but the core mechanics stay fairly similar. You’ll find that your character develops over the course of the chapters — each…
Maneater — Apex Predator or Wet Fish ?
The world of Maneater is presented in a way similar to that in which Saints Row parodies Grand Theft Auto. It’s almost a caricature which accentuates its key points in order to keep the player entertained
Tang Garden — a visual feast for gamers of all levels
It’s 8th century China, the Tang dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong wants a garden building where he can live with his concubine. Players take on the roles of garden designers, placing tiles in the garden to create areas of enchanting terrain…

Teenage Blob is a unique, colorful, nostalgic game
A fusion of creativity, punk games and indie rock, Teenage Blob is a strangely nostalgic yet totally unique game, where you take the place of a teenager who also happens to be a blob. You start the game by gaining a bit of story, through…
Foldit Wants You to Save the World from COVID-19
In 2008, the University of Washington offered gamers Foldit, a puzzle simulation that challenged players to bend a 3D model into a specific shape. Points were awarded based on factors including how compact the design was or whether or not…
Legend of Keepers — Admin with added death
Normally rogue-lite games become very boring, very quickly for me. I often find that I’ve seen most of the game in the first hour of playing, and so have little drive to keep playing the same areas, or enemies over and over again. Whilst…
Gears: The Deck-builder is a cute but cunning deckbuilder now on Kickstarter
Gears: The Deck-builder is available to back on Kickstarter now and at the time of writing, has just a couple of days left to run. It has already hit the funded mark and so will be fulfilled, so if it takes your fancy, now's the time.…
Huntdown — Run & Gun Fun
Huntdown successfully emulates the gritty ultra-violence of the late eighties and early nineties cinema scene with an excellent electro futuristic soundtrack that accentuates the run and gun gameplay
Metro X takes you on a Draw-and-Write tour of the Underground
Although I’ve only played a few personally, the Roll-and-Write genre is becoming ever more popular among board gamers. Played on a printed sheet with nothing but a pen and a few dice (in most cases) these games are fast and filled with…
Fly Punch Boom — I flew, I punched, I boomed
It’s not easy being the “new guy” in the Fighting Games Community. Most of the games played are already established throughout multiple releases with fans not willing to switch to other titles. Fly Punch Boom is in a hard position, but just…
Monster Splat has very sticky hands
When I saw Monster Splat, I fell in love with the idea of having those sticky monster hands as the main component in a game. This colourful and cute game for two to four players is great for children and adults alike as it has an age rating…
MasterChef: Dream Plate is like an Instagram game for food
I’ve been known to take quite a few food pictures and post them on Instagram in my time, and that’s sort of what MasterChef: Dream Plate reminds me of. It’s a pretty simple concept: instead of cooking up the food you’ll be purchasing it and…
Ion Fury — Shoot All The Robots!
You take on the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison as she attempts to take down Dr. Heskel, an evil scientist who has released a horde of cybernetic soldiers into the city of Neo D.C. That’s about as much plot as you’re getting.
Spirit of the North — Beauty in Isolation
Similar to PS4 indie classic Journey in its premise, Spirit of the North keeps things simple and players at a distance from the detail whilst relying on its art style and environment to draw players into its world.
