Dorfromantik offers chilled cooperative hamlet building in beautiful countryside
Dorfromantik begins with a single hex tile placed in the middle of an empty table, and from that moment the game invites you into a rhythm that is both relaxing and absorbing. There’s no rush, no pressure beyond the gentle tug of the…
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Ultimate Guide does what it says on the tin
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Ultimate Guide covers, to my knowledge, every model that is currently available for each faction, and has page after page of pictures to learn about the lore and potentially become inspired to paint your own.
CRKD Les Paul Guitar for Xbox and PC delivers Early 2000s nostalgia
When I received the hefty black case for the CRKD Les Paul Guitar and cracked it open (heh), a feeling of nostalgia punched me square in the gut. CRKD has done a fantastic job putting this together. After clicking the neck into the body,…
Lucky Shot is what a flash game would look like in 2026 and I love it
We’ve had roguelike deckbuilders, movement shooters, ARPGs and even Hello Kitty themed rhythm games (Yes, Hello Kitty and Friends Happiness Parade is a rhythm roguelike, don’t ask how I know). Now, in the year of our lord 2026, we have…
Pac-Man Craze Maze is a fast, fun and chaotic throwback
Pac‑Man: Craze Maze is a short, family‑friendly maze‑building puzzle that captures the arcade feel in quick, tactical rounds. Whilst it’s best for casual groups and retro fans who want 15–25 minute games with light strategy and low setup…
Ledgerbound Is My Favourite Game of 2026 (so far)
Ledgerbound initially caught my attention with one of the most brazen ad campaigns I've seen in a while. It was a reel on Instagram, with each character talking about if you could… uh… crack them. That, coupled with the absolutely stellar…
American Revolutionary War modernises while retaining the familiar depth
Bigbossbattle.com is headquartered in England, while I think most of the writers are too. However, I am an American... so this should be very interesting.
Fathom is a fun puzzle, but you don’t have to worry about diving too deep
Fathom is a compact, tense tile‑laying game that turns limited hidden information and a shared sonar wheel concept into a steady, satisfying test of timing, memory and spatial judgement. It isn’t especially flashy or sprawling, but it looks…
Mole is a narrative horror that takes you deeper underground
You’ll walk around in the Mole seeing a number of bizarre sights that I won’t spoil, where you carry out your duties such as adjusting the power, repairing systems, and driving the vehicle towards its destination. Interestingly, much of the…
Flora Funga squeezes two nature games into one box
Flora Funga is a double-set of board games, perfect for two to four players and featuring a fun nature theme. We've reviewed games before that have multiple methods of play, or even multiple games that can be played from the same box,…
Tozo’s Vizo AR Glasses V1 offer an enjoyable way of experiencing the big screen in a small…
The Tozo Vivo AR Glasses V1 are a lightweight, entertainment‑focused pair of AR glasses that deliver a sweet, generally bright and crisp virtual display and genuinely enjoyable portable viewing. However, they fall a bit short of the…
Blasphemous 2 is a tough but rewarding Soulsvania
Unforgiving as it is, Blasphemous 2 is a richer, more confident evolution of the original. Blasphemous 2 is a brutal game that takes everything The Game Kitchen established in its first outing and rebuilds it with greater precision, better…
Is Pacts the Best New Two-Player Strategy Game?
This is only the second game to cross my table from developer and publisher DVC Games, but if this is the standard they're aiming for, I sincerely hope they keep it up. Following the phenomenal Inkwell, DVC Games have returned to publish…
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round is the definitive version of Koei Tecmo’s iconic fighter
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round is a content‑packed reissue that bundles the base fighter with a swathe of DLC and cosmetic extras, acting as a convenient entry point for newcomers and a tidy package for players who missed earlier add‑ons,…
Super Meat Boy 3D is a powerful return for 2010’s squishiest hero
Super Meat Boy 3D on Xbox One is both the most obvious thing ever and of course the one thing that I didn’t see coming until it was already here. Somehow completely new and yet unmistakably faithful to its now 15+ year old origins all at…
Mina the Hollower is the retro-soulslike that changes everything
Mina the Hollower is a fascinating and deliberate 8-bit throwback that shows its inspirations openly whilst still carving out an identity that feels both modern and groundbreaking. Developed by Yacht Club Game (best known for Shovel…
Darktide Skitarii DLC – For The Omnissiah!
Warhammer 40,000 Darktide has been one of my favourite games over the last few years, with both fun gameplay and gritty combat it keeps bringing me back and now, with the new Skitarii class added, the fun continues with all new abilities,…
D.O.T Defence is a few Quality of Life Updates Short from Greatness
Chaotic “one-screen” RTS game D.O.T Defence pushes fast-paced action and auto-battler vibes into a usually more tactical genre to great effect. I just wish I wanted to actually carry on playing it. But there’s something that every game has…
Beholder: Conductor – Big Brother Boards the Train
There are two kinds of people in this world; those who think 1984 was a warning, and those who think it was an instruction manual. Developed by Alawar and published by Alawar Premium, Beholder: Conductor takes George Orwell's nightmare,…
Headquarters: Cold War, and then Ardennes, helps its own core game excel
Leave it to Starni and Slitherine to consistently make wargames which are thoroughly planned out and well constructed.... and fun!
