Court of the Dead: Mourners Call is quite a mouthful — and at first glance, the box appears to be as large as the title. This is one of those huge box thematic games that results from a large Kickstarter, and even though the review copy…

Have you ever felt like you could have done a better job than the people who made Jurassic Park but don’t have the serious dedication to clone dinosaurs from DNA? Well, now you can prove it to all your friends in Parkasaurs!

The bright, utopian veneer presented by Union City quickly fades as you dig deeper into some of the narrative. Underneath it, the Council starts to come off as a big brother, almost totalitarian threat hiding beneath the surface dispensing…

It’s kind of known now that my time consuming media as a child was both limited and observed. I was not allowed to watch Samurai Jack — probably due to Aku looking like a demon, or the amount of violence. Samurai Jack: A Battle Through Time…

Surviving in the cradle of civilisation, or trying your very best to not screw up evolution for everyone.

As (just about) the main tabletop reviewer here, my attention is often more on paper and card than it is on digital games. When a video game chooses to root itself firmly in board game mechanics however, my interest is always piqued. Faeria…

With its power-punk rock duo setup, No Straight Roads comes out of left field with an amazing blend of action, music, and platforming to create a stunning game that will keep your toes tapping along to the violence of bashing robots to the…

Just as I think that there are enough arena fighting games, then someone brings a style I just can’t say no to, a theme that I just want to try, and Boomerang Fu was suddenly downloading, waiting to be played. The first thing I love about…

Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best — especially when you take the most basic concept and layer in just a few new ideas to keep things interesting. With Twin It!, players will feel immediately familiar thanks to similarities with…

Whilst Little Battle is a title that might suggest a fair bit of conflict, this small box kids game from Loki is actually something very different. Yes, you’ll be competing directly with each other, but the anamorphic-pirate theme and the…

Even if the combat were fully functional, there would be little narrative incentive to pick this game up again after setting it down.

The importance of a great looking watch cannot be understated. You could easily take your look from casual to professional with a blazer and a beautiful watch. However, if you have an Apple Watch, it can be difficult to find the right strap…

With some really stellar tactical action games already out on Nintendo’s Switch console, 1971 Project Helios was always going to need to find some way to differentiate itself. At face value it might appear to do just that, with an…

Now I’ve played quite a few roguelikes/roguelites at this point, and it’s fair to say that I’m a bit worn out on the whole genre. With so many vying for attention and little done to stand out, it can often feel like I’m playing the same…

Rigid Force Redux plays like a traditional horizontal side-scrolling shmup and may seem like a game that you’ve already played, but it also offers a unique pod-placement system that gives a fresh face to the classic genre.

My idea of a good horror game is one that paralyses me with fear. It’s a game that is so terrifying I can’t get out of my chair to perform basic functions like visiting the toilet, or getting a drink. These are games so frightening that you…

There’s a fine line between imitation as flattery and outright copying the work of a person or group that you admire. In the case of Mortal Shell, the line is so blurred that I could hardly see it, and if you put screenshots from Mortal…

Modern board and card games encompass all kinds of things, from directly confrontational head to head games, to abstract puzzles and party games that can accommodate four or more players. Through this creative diversity, we also have access…

Karuba: The Card Game is a, well, card game all about exploring in the jungle, looking to lead specific adventurers to the temples they have been tracking, while grabbing as much gold and gems as you can along the way. Karuba is a really…

At first, things seem quiet but it doesn’t take long for you to overhear people being assaulted, murdered, and sacrificed by the family and staff. From this point, you’ll be finding keys and solving puzzles to unlock more of the hotel…
