My favorite type of games on our Meta Quest 2 has been games that allow us to create. I have, for example, spent a lot of time in Job Simulator, creating different foods for customers who are waiting. It’s an easy, almost mindless game…

When Crusader Kings III launched back in August 2020 it launched more feature-complete than I had originally expected. Crusader Kings II had been an experiment in expansion-pack led, live-product redesign for Paradox... in fact, it was a…

Three is the magic number

A cute, relaxing builder, Shroomchitect tasks you with building the perfect mushroom home for your new friends.

Like any good Choose Your Own Adventure-style narrative RPG, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante presents the reader/player with innumerable difficult choices — but unlike most adventures that follow this style, The Life and Suffering of…

Individual rooms are somewhat unique, each with its own event that seems to be unrelated to what’s come before. There are spooky children’s rooms, abodes for a stereotypical cat lady, and even a PT homage. I think the items you collect from…

Ashamed as I am to admit it, I remember when the first Serious Sam game was released around twenty years ago. Even then, Serious Sam was positioned as the antidote to increasingly complex, objective driven first-person shooters like Ghost…

Relationships are important in this choose your own adventure story meets card game. Signs of the Sojourner will make you want to connect with the world around you.

Without spoiling too much, Martha is Dead focuses on Guilia’s attempt to find out precisely what happened to her sister, whilst also trying to come to terms with her loss, and the events of the war that play out around her. All is not as it…

Full disclosure, I have always been a traditionalist when it comes to fighting games — my talent ran out somewhere around the time Tekken 3 was released, and I definitely have more of an affinity with slower, more traditional fighting games…

Our household don't just play games together, we also make sure that we watch a great variety of films and shows at home when we're stuck in. We love watching the Hotel Transylvania series, which has had a whole bunch of different movies!…

50 Years is the perfect turn-based strategy battle simulator game to play if you only have a few minutes, but be warned, the desire to achieve a fifty-year victory could have you replaying for hours on end! 

Unlike the original game, Ziggurat 2 has a full campaign with a plot. The plot is very simple, with good mages and bad mages trying to save or destroy the world, with you heading up the good guys. You’ll complete quests around a map to…

Prizes include: Crash Bandicoot Loot, Bitmap Books, a Switch Controller and even a chance to win a Steam Key.

It is no secret that I love food-related games. In another life, I myself would be running a food truck, flipping my own burgers, or well, probably making tacos if I am honest! So, I am always excited to dive into a new food-related game.…

Game Dev Diaries is a series of articles and videos that follows a cohort of young game design students as they embark on their final projects. With interviews, insights, and interesting viewpoints, these articles aim to showcase these…

A bit of an odd one, Lacuna. On the one hand it's a classic slice of Noir played straight, with scifi flourishes. It plays simply, until you hit an investigative sequence. At this point it may well not be as twisting and winding as it seems…

300 multi-purpose missiles, forty bombs and over one thousand rounds of heavy-machine gun ammunition. That, believe it or not, is a relatively modest payload for the airplanes you'll fly in Sector D2's excellent Project Wingman — a clear…

While Minecraft is perhaps best known for its mods, or even its core survival experience, there's another part that doesn't get written about quite as much: A collection of marketplace creations, made by users, that can be added to your…

The bulk of Kardboard Kings has you checking online to buy individual cards or card packs which you put on display in one of six slots in your shop. Whilst you can’t set the price yourself, rumours in the news will hint at which cards are…
