A 4X historical game measured in generations rather than ages, Old World shows exactly how a tighter scope can allow for much more exciting and compelling mechanics and play. It's hard to talk about historical strategy, or 4X, games without…

Don't you love it when it turns out your ancestors made a deal with the devil and forgot to give you any sort of warning? In Kurat, 100 years have passed since that agreement, the Devil has shown up to collect. Luckily, they simply want to…

When I see a cute game appear, I want to pick it up and play it. Add in the fact that it’s an open world, slice of life styled game, and you've got me hooked. So, when I saw Clouzy!, I was excited to live in a world where I can take care of…

When I reviewed Mystic Vale a few years ago, I remember thinking how novel it was to play not only a deck-building game, but a game in which the players actually construct cards by slipping new “powers” into existing card sleeves. In…

Quetzal is an upcoming 2D platformer all about quick decisions and precision timing. The combination of those two are the only way you stand a chance of making it through the depths of the Earth, to restore balance to the world. Falling…

A game of this type isn’t likely to have an enormous audience due to its niche subject matter, but the developers have made something that could be enjoyed quite easily by someone who isn’t all that interested in the hobby. Whilst it won’t…

There are a few types of games that work really well in VR, but until this year it didn't feel like anybody had given bringing a larger-scale city-builder to VR a go. Cities: VR is a virtual reality take on Cities: Skylines, and is a really…

It’s Lynchian levels of madness, even over the game’s very short run time of under an hour. If you like shows such as Twin Peaks and Chanel Zero, where the plot is very engaging without always being very clear, then this is something that…

Goodness, it's hard to be a mercenary leader. Yet, despite that, more and more games are appearing that put you at the helm of your own gang freelancing sword-for-hires. The latest title to let you lead a company of sellswords is The Iron…

Silt is a strange thing — written up as a surrealist adventure horror, where you’re tasked as a mysterious diver sent to uncover equally mysterious things in the depths of the ocean. It’s more or less a really bizarre version of Ecco The…

It controls about as well as you might expect a light gun game to when using a controller. The likes of Blue Estate have shown that games like this can work well enough without a lightgun, but I feel that The House of The Dead Remake…

Everything is suddenly going wrong at Cosmonious High, the first ever interspecies high school, and with the headmaster cowering in their office it's up to you, the New Kid, to sort it all out. There are few developers who can be considered…

Death is rarely permanent in games, and Grid Force - Mask of the Goddess is no different. In fact, you start off having just shrugged off a recent death, your own, as you — Donna — recover from your recent, failed attempt to topple the…

Whenever I review a sequel or a new piece of DLC for a roguelike, I generally find myself having to refer to the release notes to work out what has changed. A good example of this is the latest Binding of Isaac DLC — which introduces so…

Film Noir has never looked quite so bright. To Hell With The Ugly is a 1950s set point & click adventure game that also features turn-based combat and... a little bit of detective work. I don't know anything about Boris Vian, his pen…
