Sonic Frontiers will not be receiving an award tonight.
Sorcerer’s Arena: Epic Alliance Core Set takes the mobile game to your table
Sorcerer’s Arena: Epic Alliance Core Set is a more serious Disney-themed game where you are able to duel against someone else using your team of Disney heroes or villains, all in a race to reach a set number of victory points. This game is…
Betrayal at House on the Hill is a haunting adventure game
When it comes to escaping a haunted mansion, things get more complex when one of your friends suddenly becomes the monster! Betrayal at House on the Hill is a two to six player game where you and your friends are exploring a haunted house,…
The Entropy Centre – Backwards thinking
Before going anywhere with this review, I should point out that the vast majority of this game was created by one person, and that in itself is an impressive achievement. The fact that The Entropy Centre is also a really well made product…
Save Room – What are you buying?!
The premise is simple. You are in a safe room in a Resident Evil adjacent survival horror game, and you need to fit all the items from your box into your inventory whilst also topping off your health and reloading your weapons.
EWin Knight Series Gaming Chair — Knightly Seating Arrangements
Some might consider the most important piece of furniture in their office: the chair you sit on. EWin Racing chairs sent me an EWin Knight Series KT-BW2C-400 gaming chair to test out its comfort and I feel there’s a lot to talk about here.
Hey, That’s My Fish! sees penguins sliding around for fish
Hey, That's My Fish! is an abstract strategy game that’s great for all ages! This game is meant for two to four players, and does actually work well in a two player setting, which is how I played it. Each player is looking to eat the most…
Minecraft: Heroes of the Village – keep the baddies out!
After playing Minecraft: The Board Game, we were more than excited to hear that a new Minecraft themed tabletop game has made its way into the world, this time more focused on fighting off illagers. Minecraft: Heroes of the Village has you…
Miraculous: The Rise of Sphinx – A nose for miracles
As you navigate the rooftops of Paris via some light platforming, you’ll be confronted by small groups of enemies. This is somewhat at odds with the TV show, but I suppose something needs to break up the jumping and running segments of the…
Scorn — Hell of a view
Scorn is an atmospheric horror game that relies on the unsettling environment and unique world of mechanical functions to tell its grotesque story.
Somerville – Inside Limbo?
Many of these puzzles require you to use your light boosting ability, which has the odd property of seemingly melting alien material that often acts as an obstruction. Again, there are some really nicely done puzzles here as you use the…
Tiny Towns – Build the most efficient town
Tiny Towns is an abstract strategy game with city building as its main focus, where you and up to five other players are building a four by four grid-based town. This town is one that needs to be created in a specific way, which will in…
Akedo x Pokemon Christmas Shoes make a lovely gift!
Christmas is just around the corner and finding gifts is often something that everyone struggles with! I tend to gift a mix of items, including stuff I know people will use often. Things like a pair of shoes might sound like a simple gift,…
Paris: La Cité de la Lumière has you designing a chaotic street
When it comes to the streets of Paris, sometimes the buildings are placed in pretty weird spots. In Paris: La Cite de la Lumiere, you will decide where these houses go, so that yours have the most light cover from the streetlights dotted…
Mount and Blade II Bannerlord is a bit too big for its boots – but my, what fancy boots they…
When I was still a wee lad in short trousers, I was amazed by several things — video games, movies, chess and mediaeval warfare. As I played basic 8-bit games like North vs South on my NES and watched movies like Braveheart, I dreamed of a…
Myth of Mist Legacy – Mad as a bag of cats
The issues with the translation don’t stop there either, as there are some instances translations just aren’t done. Menu buttons still appear in Chinese meaning I’d have to guess which button was which. Words run out of space in dialogue…
Shoot for the Stars – General knowledge through numbers
Ever feel like you know a bunch of pointless knowledge? In Shoot for the Stars, you can benefit from knowing lots of random things! In each round, you will actually be trying to solve the answer to a question, without going over the amount.…
Temple of Horror – I’m afraid to play this again
Many of the stages contain threats, such as generic enemies that chase you, or traps that will instantly dispatch you, sending you back to the beginning of the level. These things can be fine if done well, but Temple of Horror just feels…
Paper Flight Super Speed Dash – Paper thin
I’m partial to the occasional chillout game. Power Wash Simulator and PC Building Simulator are nice, light games that you can have fun playing to destress or whilst listening to a podcast. They have a satisfyingly simple gameplay loop…
Defuse is all about building instead of setting off bombs
Defuse is a territory capture-style game where you are in a city, full of bombs. This city doesn’t just have one type of bomb, it has several types that cover different areas. You need to defuse these bombs to make the land usable and then…
