Warhammer 40k: Battlesector is a bit of a (Dread)snore
I've been lucky enough to play a few Warhammer games in recent years and the use of the IP often seems quite hit or miss. Some games like Total War: Warhammer are stellar uses for this IP, whilst others like Necromunda are underwhelming, to…
Everspace 2 (Early Access) — Ready to Take Flight

Due Process (Early Access) isn’t geared up just yet
Whilst trying hard to stand out from the crowd, Due Process doesn’t quite do enough (at release) to really show off what a great game it could be. Whether it’s the visuals with its mixture of pixel art and 3D models or its unique features…

Now I’ve played quite a few roguelikes/roguelites at this point, and it’s fair to say that I’m a bit worn out on the whole genre. With so many vying for attention and little done to stand out, it can often feel like I’m playing the same…
