Popmaster Card Game challenges your pop music knowledge
Now, I am not someone who knows much trivia generally, but I do find it fun to try out trivia games when hanging out with my friends! The Popmaster Card Game is a pocket-sized trivia game that focuses on pop music. I like listening to pop…
A Little to the Left: Cupboards and Drawers – Bang tidy!
Now we have the Cupboards and Drawers DLC, which implies that you’ll be tidying and organising cupboards and drawers. There are actually far more different things to organise in the thirty included levels, but there are a lot of closets and…
Layers of Fear – Scary Content Creators
Rather than being a direct remake of the two games, Layers of Fear tries to tie the events of these games together. This rerelease of sorts wraps the games into an overarching narrative of a writer who has been sent to an isolated…
Pan Am The Game challenges you to build routes faster than Pan Am themselves, for profit
For a game called Pan Am The Game you'd not be silly to think that you might be controlling the titular company as they expand their network of flights across the world, however here you and up to three others have to outpace Pan Am for…
A Building Full of Cats – Hello Kitty
There are roughly fifty cats on each floor, many of which are easy to spot, but with a good number that will require a more thorough scouring of the environment. Each one is a fairly simple design, but this feels deliberate so that they…
Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition – Gotta go fast!
The afterburner is great fun when you’re flying through tight tunnels, as you reach Ludicrous Speed instantly, resulting in you hurtling along and probably pinballing off the walls as you go.
Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is the smartest game in the room
I know that we're a little late with this one, but it's hard to not want to tell somebody about Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate after you've played it... and, I'm guessing, you've maybe not played it. So now I'm going to tell you why you…
Night of Frights! Game brings Five Nights at Freddies to your kitchen table
Five Nights at Freddies is a popular game that has done well over the years, so of course getting a board game adaptation is something that makes sense and can keep interest and can continue to bring the game to life! Night of Frights! Game…
MG-X Pro iPhone adds an Xbox Controller to your Phone
We have previously reviewed the MG-X Pro Android controller, which allows you to level up your gaming experience on your Android device by attaching the controller. Now, we're here to talk about if the iPhone version of the game is as well…
No One Lives Under the Lighthouse – Solitude
Items aren’t where you left them, machines are mysteriously damaged, and something keeps knocking on doors. I can’t go into too much detail for fear of spoiling a lot of what happens, but suffice to say that you rapidly descend into…
Sunday Gold – Style over substance
The characters are great fun as well. Sally’s tough but calm demeanour comes across in great contrast to Gavin’s skittish, panicky nature. They come across like over-the-top cockney caricatures, and for the most part, are very well written…
Voidtrain – On rails in endless space
Voidtrain is an on-rails survival simulator where your train is flying through the mystical void. You pilot the titular Voidtrain through space, collecting debris to research and build modules for your train to go faster through space and…
Mr Lovenstein Presents: No Context – a comic filled guessing game
Our board game group has been playing a lot of guessing games as of late — games that allow us to use cards or tiles to guess things that are going on. Mr Lovestein Presents: No Context is one of these guessing games, where you must place…
Under the Warehouse – What the hell is going on?
At its core, Under the Warehouse is a puzzle game where you need to find the appropriate items to unlock the next area and move forward. Interestingly, nothing is explained to you and you have no objective markers, meaning you have to…
Speed Crew has you fixing cars against the Furious Family
Our house is a big fan of local, co-op games. Especially ones like Moving Out or Overcooked, where there is a frantic, need to get things done as soon as physically possible. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to play Speed Crew - a…
Diablo IV – Hell of a time
Combat is as satisfying as ever, and with the much tighter camera angle, things feel significantly more visceral. Strikes from all sides look suitably vicious, and spells and powers pop off all over the screen, wiping out swarms of lesser…
Darkest Dungeon 2 – Misty Mountain
Combat works in the same way as it did before, with your four heroes taking on up to four enemies. Position in your party matters, as certain attacks can only be used if you are on the front line, whilst others require a character to be in…
Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – Orks
Whilst there are a few other units for you to choose from here, I feel that there are a few really missed opportunities. I certainly wouldn’t expect every model from the tabletop to be included, but the lack of Squighog Boyz feels like a…
Sandwich Masters: Bread Roles brings characters into the game
Previously, we took a look at Sandwich Masters — a card game where you make sandwiches and try to fulfill orders. Recently, I sat down with the expansion Sandwich Masters: Bread Roles which introduces characters into the game, as well as a…
Sudocats – We missed you hissed Sudocats
In Sudocats, the numbers are replaced with cute cartoon cats, with you needing to do the same as regular sudoku, but with different pictures. There’s an option to change the pictures into numbers if you want, but I feel that kind of defeats…
