Dagon: Complete Edition features a main story and three included DLC’s that are presented as a series of near-static scenes that the player observes, listens to and vaguely explores, all set in the world created by HP Lovecraft. I was…

The world itself feels interesting, and something that could have been lifted from The Day of the Tentacle with the slightly off-shaped buildings, brightly coloured characters, and repeated fourth wall breaks. All those characters were a…

Games are heavily weighed on the importance of having a particular mechanic or style that makes them stand out in a crowded space. Rusted Moss seems to have found its niche — for better or worse — in its grappling hook mechanic.

I am a big fan of Taskmaster, the TV show. I’ve actually seen every episode out and often rewatch them in the evenings when I want to watch something that’s always funny and surprising. Taskmaster: The Board Game tries to take the concept…

Gameplay itself is quite simple at first glance, with depth being provided by figuring out effective card synergies. Cards have a speed, as well as an attack or defence value. Attack cards do damage, and defence ones block it as you’d…

We’ve played a few of these sort of charades styled games by now — the ones where players have a deck of cards and need to get their partner to guess the word or phrase on the card without you saying the word or phrase. Pass the Biscuit is…

Listeria Wars is a real time strategy game in which you must defend your body from various bacteria that are ingested by your host body. It happens that your host body is, in this case, a disgusting guy who eats burgers off the floor

You want your ball to hit a bounce pad that pops it up into a brick that earns money when hit from below before it hits an axe that splits it in two with each half collecting ingredient items to take to a frying pan to create meals that can…

Walking past the picture of a creepy woman and going up the stairs, only to return to find that same lady standing in front of the picture before she chased me caught me very much off guard. This game uses a bunch of admittedly cliched, but…

You’ll be dealing with time travel, false memories, and alternate universes throughout the seven-or-so hours it’ll take you to reach a conclusion. That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the story. The flipping back and forth between time periods…

We have previously played a bunch of hidden cat games over the last few months. Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra has a bit of a twist compared to the other games. I say we, because often these types of hidden object games lend themselves best to…

The camera is an interesting inclusion, as it’s really the most useful piece of kit you have. This may be a side-scrolling game, but at any point you can activate your camera and take photos of anything on screen, including things that your…

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead has the advantage of having one of the best Astral Horror properties at its back, and in a time when horror is having a moment it couldn't have better timing. When I say Astral Horror, I mean that A Quiet Place…

If you’ve got family coming around for Christmas this year, then you are likely looking for a good board game to play with them. The idea of playing a board game together, after you’ve all finished dinner, is simply traditional! The Very…

The Silent Hill influences are all over Hollowbody, from the design of the world to the fact that someone visits an abandoned town looking for a loved one. A vehicle accident as you arrive, other characters who speak in cryptic ways, and…

Saleblazers is a survival shopkeeping game created by Airstrafe Interactive, an independent game studio founded in 2019. Now of course, as you may have realised, a genre mix of survival and shopkeeping is certainly a new concept, and a bold…
