This works in the same way as Pac-Man, with you running around mazes and collecting soul shards whilst avoiding monsters rather than ghosts. The camera is much closer in, and some of the monsters have different behaviours, but at its heart…

Stephanie is equipped with an array of phantasm detection devices, from EMF readers to laser grids. By using these in conjunction with provocations, you’ll need to find and record audio and video evidence of ghostly goings-on, and piece…

I really enjoyed the single mission and operations modes. Here, you can set up parameters however you want, from objectives and map type, to squad sizes and weapon firing modes. You can then set up one or two squads to take on the mission,…

There are a lot of multiplayer co-op cooking games out there, allowing you to get frustrated with your friends while you all work together to cook a dish. In Ominous Stew, you are not working together. As a matter of fact, you both are…

Tomba! Special Edition brings one of the most memorable games of a memorable console generation to modern platforms. Up there with Vib-Ribbon, Incredible Crisis, Bishi-Bashi Special and more, it was a game that oozed creativity and…

Whilst none of the trucks seem to handle differently, they’re all visually distinct. Scratch Attack has a full on cat motif and Demo Derby looks like a giant stock car. They look nicely detailed and all have their own unique special move…

The cats have found their way to Rome and have taken all the color! Hidden Cats in Rome is another game in the Hidden Cats series, which has you looking to find a bunch of cats and restore color to their world. This time the city is — you…

I hope you like dub-step and dub-step equivalent music. Every song is very intense and falls into categories that could easily be described as adjacent to that genre. They certainly fit the theme of the world around you as you’re flying…

I have a long and potted history with the Broken Sword series — which begins back in 1997 when 14 year old me would get the bus into Leeds to trade three or four of my older games for one brand new one. Whilst I would often regret making…

A couple of months ago when I previewed Empire of the Ants, I was excited by several things — the amazing graphics, the focus on gamepad based control and the kind of things the game had me doing. There were reservations though — a couple…

A somewhat unique resource in Dead Season is that of noise. If you clobber a zombie in the head with a baseball bat it’s fairly quiet, but carve up some corpses with a chainsaw or unleash a barrage of assault rifle fire and you’ll rile up…

If you solve additional, hidden puzzles, you’ll discover other tapes that reveal more about what was going on behind the scenes of the TV show you’re exploring. Reaching an end to the game isn’t too challenging, but getting an actually…

Crayon Shin-Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is the second fusion of Crayon Shin-Chan, beloved anime, and the cult favourite Boku no Nasuyatsumi series. If I’ve lost you already, don’t worry, same. I’ve got zero familiarity with half of this…

Hidden Cats is a series of games that feature cats hidden all around a city. It’s sort of like Where’s Waldo, but with hundreds of cats. In Hidden Cats in Paris, the formula is the same — there is a giant map themed around Paris, full of…

As you deliver the drinks to your clientele, you’ll earn money and reputation to unlock more features for your establishment. Tables, food, and even magical helpers can all be added as you progress through your alcohol serving career. These…

Some games are great because they live up to their epic ambitions and blow audiences away with the scale of their vision. Other games are great because they somehow capture a moment in time, a feeling or an idea — even though the execution…

It’s a new hidden object game all about cats! I feel like this recent wave of different hidden object games — largely cat based — is absolutely fantastic. Catcelona is a hidden object game where you will be finding a set number of cats…

The real point of the game is to enjoy the absolutely absurd town and its locals. As you explore you’ll come across all sorts of odd citizens, from business rivals Tiny Tom and Big Ron locking horns over whether big or tiny pies are better,…

It’s no secret I was very into Animal Crossing. Like everyone else at the start of lockdown, I spent hours and hours decorating my island with my youngest, going to events, catching bugs, and gathering resources. Now, I feel like I’ve done…

Having a little kitty cat to look after, without having all of the real-life clean up or responsibility, is something that can be really tempting for those who love playing video games! Impawlse is a game where you have a little cat in its…
