The spooky scenes are a mixed bag. Some of them are some basic flickering lights or some blood trickling from the ceiling, which are fine, if generic. The interesting ones were when seemingly live-action footage was placed into the action.…

Kayak VR: Mirage set out to do one thing, and it did it well: create a realistic kayak experience in VR, but it ended up delivering so much more in the process.

As someone who grew up playing a LOT of tower defence/base defence flash games on school computers, you could say that I have somewhat of an affinity for the genre. Be it rose-tinted nostalgia or the fact that I poured hours upon hours into…

This sequel is structured in a similar way to the first game, with you needing to solve puzzles to find tapes that then progress the story and lead to more puzzles. Here though, the puzzles are harder, but also clearer that you need to…

Despite the lunar calendar saying otherwise, it would appear to be the year of the Dog Man, with this being the second (of three) Dog Man board games that we'll have reviewed so far this year. Unlike Dog Man Flip-o-Rama there's a little bit…

Seven years on from the previous mainline entry, Dynasty Warriors: Origins' developers have opted for a few major changes to the series, hoping to revitalise the series after a period of increasingly prevalent "sense of déjà vu and…

Lena’s night in the cabin is split into hour-long segments, with each hour introducing a new monster. The monsters themselves are based on Slavic folklore, which is something I found enjoyable. Each creature features the tale that it’s…

We have now played a large number of hidden object games, and most recently those have primarily had a cat theme. But, would you believe there are more being released? Meow Moments: Celebrating Renewal & Romance is part of a new series…

Wine making Virtuoso? Lord of the grapes? Crushing it at the vineyard? Viticulture World is the new cooperative expansion for worker placement classic Viticulture from Stonemaier Games that challenges you to synchronise your efforts with…

Much more enjoyable were the puzzles. Each level presents you with a door floating in space. Your job is to find a way to open the door and move on. This should be simple enough, but every door has various points of interest around it, from…

I feel like VR is a perfect place for roleplaying games, as you can really get into the pretend and playing around in that job. Shave and Stuff is a game all about doing hair, and eventually tattoos, for individual customers. Each time…

Sometimes, we play longer games at our tabletop group! Revenge of the Dictators is a medium length (that's longer for us, for certain), strategy game where you are looking to convince the president of the United States to let you take over…

You don’t have to fight all the humans you see though. You can try to make peace with factions by completing jobs for them, often at the expense of other factions of course. There appears to be an overall goal of trying to unite as many…

The Fine Art of Murder works exactly as you’d expect a choice driven book to work. You’ll read a passage and sometimes be presented with a choice of what to do next. Some of these decisions have wider reaching consequences than others, but…

As we all know, people can be strange — and perpetually hard to please. We consistently hope and wish for new experiences, yet when we have them, we complain that they are unfamiliar. Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles is a prime…

Aside from punning on the word “well” I really struggled to think of a clever opening for this review of Animal Well. This two-dimensional, 8-bit inspired Metroidvania is so fantastic that it deserves to be spoken about in the straightest…
