Being a princess, you’re obviously far too important to bother yourself with this nonsense, but unfortunately you find yourself in possession of a magical cauldron that will cook the food needed to sate these beasts. Who bestowed this…

In a sea of roguelike turn-based adventures, how can something like Blightstone stand out? How can it make itself one of the memorable “few” rather than the saturated “many”? Many are the games that let us use martial weapons to harm foes.…

Sonic Racing: Crossworlds tracks a major step forward in the series. The blue blur is back with another Kart racer, and as a long time Sonic fan, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this. In my opinion, Sonic has been on an absolute tear of good…

Roots Devour is a stylish game, there’s no denying that. How much fruit this tree bears will be very dependent on how well you gel with that style though. Starting at the basics, Rewinding Games describe Roots Devour as a “strategic…

If you’re going to be off-put by a single failure, then the experience will be short-lived. However, Death Howl provides so many ways to not fail by rewarding exploration, minor combat repetition, deck experimentation and completing quests.

Don’t Scream Together is a co-operative horror experience based in a forest, with you and several friends investigating a woodland as you either attempt to escape together or rise up against the survivors as a hunter.  Most of Don’t Scream…

The bulk of The Spirit Lift plays like most rogue-lites, but I really did like how you would set up for your runs. Because you’re a group of students, before each run you choose your group of three that act as your starting deck and items.…

In a world where TCG Card Shop Simulator and a deluge of other “simulator” games exist, perhaps it isn’t surprising that we have a few about smithing. For the appeal that a hot smelter and hard anvil might have, though, none have really…

Although you know I prefer WW II, this is the first of three Cold War games I'm reviewing. And, this one's damn good.

From card effects slicing across the screen to enemies being able to grapple and grab you, the first-person camera of Into the Grid brings the genre to a mostly unexplored place. Being thrust face-first into some of these Sentinels forces a…

Crime Simulator has you don your balaclava and attempt to basically steal anything and everything that isn’t nailed down. Whether it’s in someone's home, business or a gigantic warehouse in the middle of Arizona the world is rife with…

The trick rapidly becomes powering up your team, manoeuvring enemies into place, and then striking them all at once. It’s immensely satisfying when you manage to get things right.

Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return Special Edition gives players a chance to time-travel back 25 years and play one of the most visually memorable platformers of the generation. For those of us lucky enough to grow up in the age of…

Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch is an interesting beast. Part deck builder, part tower defense and part dungeon management, this is a game of so many gears I'm unsure if they all make the machine run smoother or jam up the mechanisms. The basic…

Marvel Cosmic Invasion on Xbox is a vibrant, retro-inspired beat ’em up that combines the chaotic fun of classic arcade brawlers with a fresh tag-team mechanic, delivering a short, challenging and highly entertaining romp through the Marvel…

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord was an amazing addition to the series but now with the War Sails DLC released you can get stuck into naval combat and explore Calradia from a whole new perspective. I’ve been playing the Mount and Blade…

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is the most ambitious and feature-rich entry in Frontier’s dinosaur park management series to date — it’s a visually stunning, mechanically deep sandbox that finally delivers on the fantasy of building your own…

This is, by far, the best football game they’ve ever produced. Period.
