Starsand — Hardcore survival turns up the heat in an unforgiving environment
Take on the elements in a first-person survival game set in a brutal, alien desert.
Mundaun — Pencilling in an odd one
I’m going to get this out of the way — this hand pencilled, enigmatic folk horror? It can be an absolute chore to play, and the switch port is in all honesty, a bit rubbish. But Mundaun is an absolute must play. It can grate — any combat…
Damocles Gaze — Soul-Searching in 12 Minutes
Players have 12 minutes to battle their way through an increasingly difficult rougelite as their avatar traverses the sanctums of their soul.
Like the radioative green gems it features, Chernobylite shines brightly — with some downsides
I’ve said this before, and I am sure that I will say it again — there’s nothing better than passing hours and hours of your free time with a videogame that massively exceeds your expectations. Chernobylite is exactly that kind of game, and…
What if Overcooked was Single Player? Well, you’d have Ooops! 2.
Once upon a time, I fell in love with Overcooked, and then proceeded to talk at every opportunity about how it should have a single player mode. You see, I had no friends to hang out with or who would put up with me when it came to playing…
Dream Cycle — A Dive into Magic & Dreams
In Dream Cycle, step into the shoes of Morgan, an arcane apprentice who is caught up in her uncle's schemes within the Dreamlands.
Dice Legacy — Dicing with destiny
All your workers are represented by dice of different colours. Orange peasants are good for gathering resources, working in fields, and building structures, whilst blue soldiers can fight and build, but have no capacity for gathering or…
Second Opinion: Why The Forgotten City is the best game of 2021
What will you do with yourself today? This is a question asked mainly by parents when intending to load their teenage children with tasks around the house, or by a spouse who senses that their partner looks dangerously close to having a lie…
Demon Turf — Jump, Claim, Repeat
The main draw for me with Demon Turf is its obvious blend of 3D platformer with 2D visuals. Beebz is the main protagonist who set out to conquer different turf in order to become queen demon — but, there’s plenty for fans of the platforming…
Xuan Yuan Sword 7 — A Beautiful, Flawed Masterpiece
A brand new ARPG in the Western sphere, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 weaves a tale about kindness, and the lengths that we will go for the ones we love.
Blooming Business: Casino sees you managing a cute animal casino!
What better to attract to your business establishment than cute and adorable little animals as staff? In Blooming Business: Casino, you are creating an attractive and fun casino for a bunch of animal friends, looking to spend their hard…
Big Rumble Boxing Creed Champions — Champ or Chump
If you go into it with the right level of expectation; players will find an arcade fighter, great use of a licence and some fun (if not long lasting) one on one competition.
Sprocket — The Sandbox Tank Simulator
The popularity of MMO-wargames such as World of Tanks and War Thunder has raised interest in military history since the 2010s. Both games still enjoy substantial popularity, but their niche is still very much underserved even now. This is…
The Forgotten City — This Mod Loops
Forgotten City takes you for a ride, but it's a ride that adapts to the player's pace. Some of its best moments are better left unspoiled. So, there’s going to be a lot of ambiguity throughout this review. Forgotten City serves an adventure…
Timberborn challenges you to build a beaver society in a post-human world.
The humans are either dead or gone and you won't be surprised to hear that they went out with a bang. In a world littered with the ruins of humanity and the dry wastes that used to be plentiful plains, Timberborn is about beavers giving…
Cloud Gardens has you balancing plants and junk into diaromas
Post-apocalyptic worlds are notoriously strewn with loads of junk, often surrounded by vibrant plants that have overcome the trash and continue to repopulate an otherwise empty world. Often, this sort of setting lends itself well to horror…
The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos is a serious TRPG with a silly script
Whenever I hear about a videogame that sets out to be funny, I immediately think of the warning signs. Bad jokes, often in bad taste, and awful writing are typical of what I’ve come to expect from games, and in most cases, such games don’t…
Mech Mechanic Simulator — Time to mech something of yourself
The premise of the game is fairly similar to the likes of Car Mechanic Simulator and PC Building Simulator, in which you run a business repairing mechs to earn money which allows you to buy upgrades and carry out more complex repairs.…
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is more Cameron than Scott, but it still hits the mark
It’s a sad truth that most games based on the Alien universe are rubbish — just like the majority of the films. Yes, this wonderful intellectual property has spawned more lumpy, unattractive little horrors than any xenomorph queen ever has,…
Troy Mythos: A Total War Saga — Refreshed and ready to play
Tighten your loincloth! Lace up those sandals and pick up that spear! And get ready to run for the hills! It’s time for some ancient Bronze Age warfare in Troy Mythos.
