Video Game Reviews

I wish that I had paid more attention to the marketing. I have yet to play a game with metroidvania elements that I have liked, sadly. Hollow Knight to Super Metroid, I have bounced off them all. I thought Spiritfarer would be the one, with…

So where does Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, the latest collaboration between Adult Swim Studios, Tartakovsky and Valhalla Game Studios take our intrepid hero if the story has been told?

With some of the political farce of the previous decade still very fresh in their minds, there are probably more than a fair few people tired of hearing the word Democracy being flung around. Democracy 4, and its predecessors, are a…

The world has advanced; leaps in artificial intelligence and technology have enabled humans to map the human brain to the point where it’s possible with the right hardware to delve into the memories within.

Whilst I’m not overly familiar with Arc System Works games in general, Granblue Fantasy: Versus recently caught my eye thanks to its incredible visuals and silky smooth animation. At first I thought I might be stepping into a fairly average…

Superhot: Mind Control Delete is the third game in the series and while it sticks to the tried and true formula of smashing red enemies made out of glass, it expands the frantic firefights to a ballet through randomly generated rooms full…

It’s no small thing being asked to produce a digital adaptation of one of the most popular new board games of the last few years, but Dire Wolf Digital (who previously gave us the excellent Raiders of the North Sea) have really gone to town…

Runner Duck's Space Crew shares more than a few similarities to its predecessor Bomber Crew, but the (hyper)jump to a space setting does wonders for their refined systems. Sci-fi set Space Crew and WWII-straddling Bomber Crew have a lot in…

Wonders never seem to cease when it comes to what can be achieved on Nintendo’s Switch. For me, being able to access a pretty much complete edition of Civilization VI will be tough to beat, and yet developers continue to push the envelope…

The most recent update, The Armoury, adds a host of new gameplay mechanics that will change the way you set up for a run. You can now have multiple weapon altars set up before an exploration, giving you a choice of starting equipment, as…

The platforming can be fairly precise and those looking to find all the artifacts hidden will need to explore every nook and cranny. The payoff is the ability to purchase new skins for Jack from the shady vendor found in most levels

Swords n Magic & Stuff is a friendly foray into action RPG territory that although challenging at times never really penalizes the player. Those who can work through the challenges of inventory management will find a plethora of…

Tamashii, released on Switch and PC, is a side-scrolling puzzle game featuring puzzle rooms. It’s also something of an abstract, surreal horror inspired by Japanese films. Maybe a bit of Giger? A whole lot of Junji Ito. It revels in proper…

Being the son of a god, Zagreus is built as such. Muscular and lean, he looks the part. Growing up in the underworld has also offered him a chance to hone his skills with some fearsome combatants meaning that if you have the dexterity then…

In the first game from designer William Chyr, the player must navigate an ever-changing landscape of beautiful, impossible architecture and bend the rules of physics to their will. Solving abstract puzzles by climbing the walls and…

Can Androids Pray? Yep. Okay, okay. Let’s not be too flippant. The rhetorical question at the core of Can Androids Pray? is left largely up to you, the player. Can Androids Pray? is absolutely interested in the answer, and the humanity that…

Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes may not be the most proclaimed Point & Click Adventure game around but it’s certainly one that should be on your radar. Its predecessor, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout released back in 2018 and…

As a super soldier, the Arbiter is proficient in most forms of weaponry; luckily there's plenty on offer in Foregone. Both melee and ranged variants attack differently with different attack timings and reach

With Making History: The First World War, Factus Games returns the franchise back the the Great War. We have been playing it.
