"That's not how bullets work" is probably the last thing, beside the bullet, passing through the head of most of the enemies in Children of the Sun, a game where you can redirect your single bullet after it tastes destruction. Children of…

Long before the Far Cry series started messing around with RPG systems, Boiling Point was an open-world, first-person shooter that played with RPG and faction-based gameplay. It's back now, with a new lease of life from Ziggurat…

A Squirrel Must Have Buried It is a charming combination game where you have to combine various nature-themed objects that could have been possibly buried for future use - who knows.  In A Squirrel Must Have Buried It, you start off with…

Dwarves in gyrocopters. There’s just something about it, right? I don’t know how many games that can offer you both of these, but what I can tell you is that Bore Blasters has lots of them. Up until recently, I had no idea that I wanted a…

Bugs, Guns and Ore - If you like one of those things, you're gonna have a good time with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Get busy mining, or get busy dying! Dig deeper, shoot faster. If I had to describe Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor in one…

The gun-blazing action in Gunhead is exciting, but is it as gripping as we'd hoped?

In terms of units, there’s a solid array of choices, but as with the other DLC packs, there are some notable exceptions. You have your mainstay Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits as you’d expect, plus the sneaky Ghostkeel and Stealth Suits with…

Smash, blend, hammer, cut and blast your way to a five-star restaurant in Astro Chef. We're at a point now where there's a couple of dozen games launching on VR every week. While a lot of those might be smaller experiences, and a lot seem…

Under Cover is another great gateway game for VR, however it's a couple of rounds short of a full clip. It was during the PS3 era when, suddenly, arcade shooters stopped getting console versions. It turns out that there was a whole bunch of…

Nour: Play with your Food is a game that I've had my eye on for quite some time — regularly seeing the beautiful and vibrant foods show up on Twitter as its worked its way through development. Now it’s out, so I dived in to see what I could…

Combinations of light and heavy attacks unleash different combos that can hit multiple enemies or drive foes away from you, but really you can get through the game without doing anything fancy. On hard mode you actually do need to be a bit…

As before though, I’m not all that interested in the story, as the combat is absolutely the focus. I’m happy to say that the combat is just as much fun as ever! Fast-paced, brutal, and plentiful, shooting your way through your foes is…

I must admit that I’ve lost interest in Warhammer over the past ten or fifteen years — mainly because the rank-and-file gameplay of “classic” Warhammer Fantasy was more my cup of tea than the squad-based skirmishes that have replaced it.…

Interestingly, the fact you’re playing an arcade game does get used a little bit. Every now and then you’ll get a glitch in the game in the form of random modifiers that get “patched” about a minute later. You’ll cause more damage or gain…

Tower-defence deck-building has absolutely zero reason to be as good as Heretic's Fork makes it, and if you can deal with the grungy red-and-black dominated colour scheme you're almost certainly in for a treat. Heretic's Fork is doing a…

RATIFACT is a puzzle game where you are working in a factory trying to make rat toys for other… rats, maybe?! Sort of like making doll kits, except these different rats are very much alive, until they aren’t, and you need to do a lot of set…

From a mechanical standpoint, this is very similar to Call of Duty Zombies. You start in a small environment with a basic weapon as monsters spawn in. Killing them completes the round and earns you money you can use to buy weapons and perks…

Brilliantly, the table comes with a campaign of sorts, setting you challenges over multiple attempts at the machine. These amount to scoring targets within time limits, or surviving a certain amount of time on a single ball, but each one is…

There have been a few Hidden Cat games that have made their way to Xbox lately, with the most recent being Hidden Cats in London. You see, these types of games have you looking at a screen, trying to find hidden objects in the picture. In…

With its sole focus on GT Series racing, Assetto Corsa Competizione reduces the scope of the original Assetto Corsa, but delivers the kind of focus that hardcore racing fans will love, assuming that they have the skills to match their…
