Flathead – Headscratcher
This on its own is fine enough, but you’re also against an undefined time limit. There’s a creature sneaking up behind you as you play, and should you fail to reach your target before it reaches you, then you’ll likely die. I say likely as…
Hidden Cats in Berlin – Katzen boots
Luckily there’s also an Advanced mode with far more cats, all randomly placed, as well as special named cats and specific people to spot in a “Where’s Wally?” style. Even once you’ve done that, there will be a bunch of extra stages unlocked…

Swarm 2 is full-360 VR action done right
Sometimes when genres evolve it's through new features or concepts coming to them, in the case of Swarm 2 it's through new technology. Notably, Swarm 2 feels like a successor to some sort of arcade shooter or shmup. Interestingly, it might…
Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance
Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance is hard. Really hard. Even on the easiest setting, which is recommended when you start up, you’ll lose a lot of missions and a lot of troops in the early going. I’m not ashamed to say that I restarted some…
Bounties of Babylon – Man-of-war or total bore?
Turns are split into tile placement and movement stages. Tiles include a path as well as a colour. The path shows you where a ship can go, and must match up to another path, meaning you can’t have a path ram into land. The colour dictates…
