Bright Memory — Fast, Frantic and Unfinished
Releasing Bright Memory at this time, and in the method it has, provides FYQD some well needed exposure and gears up fans of the fast and frantic gameplay the full game promises to deliver
Almost as frustrating as it is terrifying, Visage sets the new standard for horror simulators
With one of the most horrific opening sequences in any game that I’ve played, Visage sets out its stall early on. This is a game designed to shock and scare you to your very core — especially if you have the stomach to play it for long…
Out of Space — fight aliens, keep your ship clean
I have been known to play a lot of Overcooked. It’s one of my all time favorite games. My household has also played a lot of Moving Out, so I thought Out of Space would be a great fit for us! Turns out that I was both wrong and right. Out…
Steam: Rails to Riches Emulates The Industrial Revolution’s Growth
The digital version of Martin Wallace’s acclaimed board game Steam: Rails to Riches, harkens players back to the Industrial Age of trains.
The Falconeer — Like a leaf on the Wind
Interestingly the campaign isn’t limited to any single perspective of the wider conflict at hand. Progression and experience allow you to switch to other viewpoints and allows you to see how events may have been interpreted from the…
Tools Up! — Chaotic decorating in wild houses
Tools Up! is a game I have previously played, albeit a few years back at Gamescom. The premise of the game is sort of like Moving Out, where you must quickly get into a house, but instead of moving furniture, you are looking to decorate the…
Observer: System Redux — Down the Rabbit Hole
Lazarski himself is brought to life by acting legend Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) and although one of his final appearances on screen it’s hard to imagine a better fit for the character.
Pendragon — Bleak Hope
Inkle are masters at creating stories. Using their scripting/storytelling language Ink they have created the wildly popular 80 Days, and one of my favourite games of last year, Heaven’s Vault. But now Inkle decided to swerve in a completely…
Katamari Damacy Reroll — I remember this game!
I have played the original Katamari Damacy. It was ages and ages ago, before I could even read properly. I remember fondly rolling around the ball, collecting all of the objects so that I could then make a star for some strange big-head man…
Tsuro — The Digital Game of the Path
Right off the bat, Tsuro looks really nice. You’re presented with a desert-like patch of sand with a copy of the board game on it that you are instructed to open, resulting in the game board unfolding and the pieces being placed onto it.…
The Pathless — Ambition and Adventure
I’ve said what I like from my games enough times whilst writing for B3, one of those is exploration. When I say that I mean true exploration, not a map littered with icons or waypoints taking up your screen (looking at you Ubisoft). I want…

The first game from Tactical Adventures, Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a tactical RPG using a faithful translation of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. Players create a party of adventurers and delve into ancient ruins and dungeons,…
Astro’s Playroom — Domo Arigato, Lil’ Roboto
Astro’s Playroom is a love letter written for anyone who has ever held a Playstation controller in their hands and felt the magic of play during the last 16 years.
Oceanhorn 2 is a beautiful homage to the action & adventure genres
A giant leap forward from Oceanhorn’s first outing, Oceanhorn 2 is a fun, friendly action-RPG that has some interesting mechanics mixed with tool based puzzles in a beautifully crafted world that’s hard not to recommend for fans of the…
The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature — Monster Mash
I’m not sure what this game is about. I know that The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature is about the section of Frankenstein wherein the creature is left to their own devices, and is recounting their treatment to the doctor. About the…
Warhammer: Chaosbane — Press A to Win
For an Xbox Series X optimized release its both buttery smooth with no recognisable slowdown even when the Chaos horde mob can reach upward of 50 enemies on screen at any time with multiple player characters in co-op
Evergate — Falling with style
Evergate is a tough platformer that pushes players to make split-second decisions in order to survive in a beautiful but dangerous hand-painted world.
Bugsnax is an adorable game for all ages
Bugsnax is a great experience, and all three of my kids loved it too. Even my wife was enjoying watching me play it. The names of the bugsnax reminded her of the fantastic Viva Piñata series. I cannot recommend this game highly enough, and…
Steam City Chronicles: Rise of the Rose — An almost unplayable mess of tedium and tasteless fan…
