The gun-blazing action in Gunhead is exciting, but is it as gripping as we'd hoped?

There has been an increase in cozy, first person adventure games, the latest to join the trend is Morgan: Metal Detective. You play as a young woman who has returned to the Island of Glasden after her grandfather has passed away. There is a…

Stevenson's Captain Flint might be best known as a diligent treasure burier and, well, rum-soaked corpse. But, Savage Level believe that he might just be the perfect main character for Flint: Treasure of Oblivion, a pulp-adventure styled…

In terms of units, there’s a solid array of choices, but as with the other DLC packs, there are some notable exceptions. You have your mainstay Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits as you’d expect, plus the sneaky Ghostkeel and Stealth Suits with…

Frogsong is a wholesome adventure game where you play as a little frog called Chorus, who wants to protect the world from any sort of baddies that might be around. You’ve recently decided to go to Boreala, a small village, to join its…

Smash, blend, hammer, cut and blast your way to a five-star restaurant in Astro Chef. We're at a point now where there's a couple of dozen games launching on VR every week. While a lot of those might be smaller experiences, and a lot seem…

Under Cover is another great gateway game for VR, however it's a couple of rounds short of a full clip. It was during the PS3 era when, suddenly, arcade shooters stopped getting console versions. It turns out that there was a whole bunch of…

Nour: Play with your Food is a game that I've had my eye on for quite some time — regularly seeing the beautiful and vibrant foods show up on Twitter as its worked its way through development. Now it’s out, so I dived in to see what I could…

Combinations of light and heavy attacks unleash different combos that can hit multiple enemies or drive foes away from you, but really you can get through the game without doing anything fancy. On hard mode you actually do need to be a bit…

The Sacred Acorn is an adorable, narrative-driven adventure game where you play as a little squirrel who is looking to fix a tree of life that has fallen ill. Because the tree is no longer acting the way it should, the creatures of the…

As before though, I’m not all that interested in the story, as the combat is absolutely the focus. I’m happy to say that the combat is just as much fun as ever! Fast-paced, brutal, and plentiful, shooting your way through your foes is…

I must admit that I’ve lost interest in Warhammer over the past ten or fifteen years — mainly because the rank-and-file gameplay of “classic” Warhammer Fantasy was more my cup of tea than the squad-based skirmishes that have replaced it.…

Interestingly, the fact you’re playing an arcade game does get used a little bit. Every now and then you’ll get a glitch in the game in the form of random modifiers that get “patched” about a minute later. You’ll cause more damage or gain…

I am such a big fan of food, and as someone who enjoys video games as well, getting themed ramen sounds like a fantastic idea! Shoryu has previously done collabs with Final Fantasy and their ramen, which I have enjoyed. Much like last time,…

Tower-defence deck-building has absolutely zero reason to be as good as Heretic's Fork makes it, and if you can deal with the grungy red-and-black dominated colour scheme you're almost certainly in for a treat. Heretic's Fork is doing a…

RATIFACT is a puzzle game where you are working in a factory trying to make rat toys for other… rats, maybe?! Sort of like making doll kits, except these different rats are very much alive, until they aren’t, and you need to do a lot of set…

From a mechanical standpoint, this is very similar to Call of Duty Zombies. You start in a small environment with a basic weapon as monsters spawn in. Killing them completes the round and earns you money you can use to buy weapons and perks…

A cartoony, dungeon-diving shooter, SULFUR is both unpredictable and fun in equal measures. If you turn back time several years you couldn't move for first-person, roguelike dungeon-crawlers. There were some real gems out, and by the end of…

Brilliantly, the table comes with a campaign of sorts, setting you challenges over multiple attempts at the machine. These amount to scoring targets within time limits, or surviving a certain amount of time on a single ball, but each one is…

There have been a few Hidden Cat games that have made their way to Xbox lately, with the most recent being Hidden Cats in London. You see, these types of games have you looking at a screen, trying to find hidden objects in the picture. In…
