Monster Camp — Both Monster and Camp
If you are someone that enjoys silly, somewhat crude and horny humour Monster Camp is a great get. But if you played a lot of Monster Prom before, this might just feel like more of the same.

Morels: Homestead showed that I can’t quite make it as a farmer
When we got the Oculus Quest, I was very excited to try out a number of games! One of them was Morels: Homestead, a realistic farming game that has you transforming an empty plot of land into a glorious farm! I have tried to get into…
Shinorubi — My eyes have melted
Of course, all these opponents are shooting at you pretty much constantly, and you’ll need to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge your way through their bullets. Like many games in this genre, Shinorubi gives you a large ship, but only a tiny…

Cannibal Cuisine has you cooking to survive
When it comes to cooking, couch co-op games, I love trying out new ones! Cannibal Cuisine is one of these types of games, however, there is a twist. Instead of cooking up lovely dishes for some sort of crowd, you are actually killing…
Demon Turf — Queen of the Flattened
I was delighted by the visual presentation when I first saw Demon Turf. The combination of 2D characters placed into a 3D world feels novel. In my preview, I mentioned some worries that I hoped would be addressed by launch. Even still…
Prison Architect: Perfect Storm adds a much-needed events system
Prison Architect's Perfect Storm expansion adds an Event System that promises to keep your attention. When it comes to city-building, management and tycoon games there are more than a few sub-genres. Prison Architect, for me, has always…
Youtubers Life 2 is more fun than being a Youtuber
To be honest, I didn’t think I would like Youtubers Life 2. I have not played the first game, and felt like I just wouldn’t enjoy a tycoon game about making and editing videos for Youtube. But, Youtubers Life 2 has proven that becoming a…
Sable — Gliding Into the Sunset
So much of Sable can be boiled down to gliding and climbing. It’s much more than that; you’re in pursuit of purpose; As I played it, it sparked moments of self-reflection. Sable sets out on her gliding, which is a sort of extended…
Glass Road shows off the lighter side of Uwe Rosenberg’s repertoire
Most board game fans have heard of the legendary Uwe Rosenberg, however he is mostly famous for games like A Feast For Odin, Agricola and Patchwork, rather than some of his less well known titles — which happens to include Glass Road. As…
Pupperazzi is adorable, but lacks finesse
I am a huge fan of wholesome games and do enjoy a game with a photography theme. After having finished The Good Life recently, I was pretty stoked when Pupperazzi made it’s way onto my Xbox, downloaded and ready to be played! It’s a game I…
Not For Broadcast — You gotta see this
The gameplay and story kept me engaged, but it’s the acting that really brings all this to life. It’s absolutely excellent throughout. Characters are either genuinely likeable or caricatures of celebrities, and they’re all portrayed…
Cities: Skylines Airports adds much-needed depth to trade beyond borders
Approaching its seventh year Cities: Skylines is still going strong, the latest expansion — Cities: Skylines Airports — adds depth to an area that's been crying out for a little attention for a while now, and slots in perfectly next to the…

Battle Brothers’ Xbox outing finally brings one of the best strategy games to the TV
Battle Brothers has finally brought its turn-based tactics to the Xbox, and it's an almost perfect port, only held back by some controller and UI decisions. I've made my thoughts on Battle Brothers well known over the last few years, having…
Mortal Sin — Sintillating
It’s quite satisfying though, as the attacks themselves feel suitably meaty, especially when you trigger a weapon’s special effect. Seeing your foe’s limbs go flying after you’ve parried an attack, delivered a swift kick, and then finished…
Obsession maintains a stiff upper lip, but does it capture the Downton Abbey spirit?
When a game receives the sort of hype that Obsession has, you have to approach it with caution. At best, there’s a chance that you’ll end up being underwhelmed by a game that is actually decent but still can’t live up to expectations,…
