Although it first debuted over twenty years ago, the Spellforce series has never made it to console in prior generations. Having played Spellforce 3: Reforced quite comprehensively now, I can understand why. This real time strategy/RPG…

This on its own is fine enough, but you’re also against an undefined time limit. There’s a creature sneaking up behind you as you play, and should you fail to reach your target before it reaches you, then you’ll likely die. I say likely as…

Horrified is a cooperative, one to four player game where you and (most likely) your friends are all trying to defeat a bunch of different mythical monsters! It features a lot of different combinations of monsters to battle against, each of…

Luckily there’s also an Advanced mode with far more cats, all randomly placed, as well as special named cats and specific people to spot in a “Where’s Wally?” style. Even once you’ve done that, there will be a bunch of extra stages unlocked…

Omega Crafter is a newly released open-world survival game developed by Preferred Networks, a technology company based in Japan. This is Preferred Network's first game release, so if you don’t recognise the name, you’re not alone. Omega…

Crow Country wants nothing more than to be a survival horror from the 90s. Combat is slow and clunky, with you unable to move whilst aiming and nothing more than a hard to manoeuvre crosshair for aiming. You can improve this by solving…

You play as Walter, a man who awakens from a strange dream to find that his wife and daughter are missing. Through a series of strange events, Walter finds himself at the circus where the three of them work, and sets about trying to find…

Now, with the influx of interest in Starship Troopers reappearing thanks in part to Helldivers 2, we have the Raising Hell DLC. This adds a new mini campaign including new troops and enemies, as well as a few challenge missions. For under…

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is the latest game in Snowcastle Games' Earthlock series. Within Ikonei Island, you are encouraged to explore the titular tropical island in its entirety and restore the shrines you discover along the…

Sometimes when genres evolve it's through new features or concepts coming to them, in the case of Swarm 2 it's through new technology. Notably, Swarm 2 feels like a successor to some sort of arcade shooter or shmup. Interestingly, it might…

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance is hard. Really hard. Even on the easiest setting, which is recommended when you start up, you’ll lose a lot of missions and a lot of troops in the early going. I’m not ashamed to say that I restarted some…

Cats and dogs are such a popular, well-loved pet that having a board game full of cute cats and dogs, does feel like it would fit in well with most homes. You Gotta Be Kitten Me is a card game where you must guess how many accessories or…

Turns are split into tile placement and movement stages. Tiles include a path as well as a colour. The path shows you where a ship can go, and must match up to another path, meaning you can’t have a path ram into land. The colour dictates…

Blisteringly fast-paced and deliriously good fun, Mullet Mad Jack takes a gorgeous 90s anime aesthetic and creates a rocket-propelled FPS game that doesn’t stop being entertaining after the credits roll.

Playing board games with a plant theme, especially ones with absolutely beautiful art, is always a highlight. Planted is one such game; where you are looking to create a little greenhouse of plants, all that have been cared for. This is a…

It was rare that I’d find myself going in circles in POOLS, and when I did it was really only in a small area that I could quickly progress from. Even so, I constantly felt like I didn’t know where I was going, and would find an exit by…

It’s like watching a B-movie in that you know it won’t be perfect, but you’ll probably have a great time whilst you’re experiencing it. Fossilfuel 2 has its tongue so firmly pressed into its cheek that it’s popping out the side of its face.
