Trenches is trying something relatively unique, on a conceptual level. A psychological horror game set in the trenches of the First World War. I can’t understate how appealing that concept is, how it could be such a fantastic vehicle for…

CyberHeroes Arena DX understands the mechanics of the genre leader, in that you simply move your character around the area whilst they automatically fire weapons. Enemies spawn in and move towards you, intent on your death. In that regard,…

I love games like Mr Prepper. Sheltered, for example, is one of my favourite survival games, and only recently I reviewed Endzone (which shares a post-apocalyptic theme) and found it to be broadly fantastic. Mr Prepper has some really…

I'm new to the Town Builders, and usually, the amount of micromanagement needed is an immediate turn-off for me. So when I decided to give Outlanders a try, I was a bit unsure of how I would find the experience, but thankfully it proved to…

Award season is in full swing, and there are so many different awards, categories and events going on right now! BAFTA is one of the most prestigious awards in both film and gaming — though most of the categories are done by a jury of…

The whole game is a fairly fast-paced turn-based affair, and combat is no exception. When it’s your turn, you can move to another hex and fire your weapons as well as activate skills. There’s an interesting movement model, with you being…

Before Your Eyes is an interactive VR story like no other where you experience the joys and discouragement of childhood through the eyes of a child by reliving his memories. Throughout the journey, you’ll discover emotions by connecting his…

Let's Build a Zoo challenges you to not only build a functional, profitable zoo, but to also build a responsible one. Whether you take that challenge though is entirely up to you — and it caters to you even if you don't. How does the…

Following the indie darling What The Golf? is a tall task. What The Bat tries to offer a similarly silly and original take on baseball in VR, but does it hit a home run or strike out with the bases loaded?

Considering the genre of The Dark Side of the Moon, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on, but you’ll need to guide Dean through the local village and beyond, making decisions at key points that will alter the direction of…

Tin Hearts is a puzzle game all about time. Its story revolves around technologies ahead of their time, features a story told out of time, and you, yourself, have the power to pause, speed up and reverse the passage of time. When people…

Now, I don’t want to spoil too much here, as some of the puzzles ahead of you are quite interesting. The first one certainly isn’t one of them, but it does teach you that the way to progress is to find a skull and place it in the receptacle…

Summits, the gathering of nations for intense diplomacy, must be one of the most dynamic, dangerous and nerve-wracking events to manage, and that's exactly the role you find yourself playing in Wonderland Nights: White Rabbit's Diary.…

Marsupilami Hoobadventure is a platformer that wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but manages to create a clever twist of genre-defined mechanics that sets it apart.

When it comes to rhythm games, I often have a really good time, unless something has really gone wrong. Rhythm Sprout is a bit different, as it’s a rhythm action game, full of fast paced sword swinging and fighting action as well as both…

King of the Castle is a multiplayer narrative game, one optimised for large groups of players, or massive Twitch audiences. Narrative and Multiplayer aren't two things that tend to go hand-in-hand when it comes to game design. In fact,…

The choices of date are quite diverse, representing people from many walks of life, including LGBT, those with disabilities, and neurodivergent individuals. It’s nice to have all different types of people here, with many characters showing…

Vampire Survivors - Legacy of the Moonspell adds a lot of content for very little cost. Just when I thought I’d finally kicked my Vampire Survivors habit, along comes the DLC expansion to pull me straight back in. The base game is excellent…

As a system, it’s quite elegant, and I initially quite liked the back-and-forth of a combat encounter. Hits feel weighty from both sides, and the fantastic animation lends a visceral feeling to the battle. The problem is that every fight…

The Sisters of Battle have already appeared in Battlesector as part of the main Blood Angels campaign, though their time in the spotlight was incredibly underwhelming, being fairly weak compared to the storyline’s main faction. Any concerns…
