Renature (pronounced Re-nature, not Ren-a-ture as I keep calling it) is a brand new IP co-published internationally by PSC Games, Pegasus Spiele, Capstone Games and Deep Print Games, among others. With such an illustrious group of backers…
Curious Cargo is a seriously complex two player showdown
I don’t know if it’s because of the current restrictions on travel and socialising, or just pure chance, but recently I seem to find myself playing two-player games a lot more frequently than I used to. Not only that, but with games like…

Synth Riders — Settling into its own Rhythm

Commandos 2 on Switch is a bumpy trip down memory lane
If you’re anything like me, there’s a good chance that nostalgic feelings often lead to bad decisions. Where video game choices are concerned, this is a frequent challenge that I face. In Commandos 2 — a game that I remember being…
Poker Club — All In or Bust
When Poker Club renders correctly it’s even more unfortunate that the poker is only “OK”. The basics are there. Dealing, blinds, bets etc. etc. but there’s no feeling in it.
Redout: Space Assault — From race to space
There was little room for careful positioning and picking my targets due to the sheer volume of stuff on camera. Off-camera too, as there were a number of times in which I was being attacked from off-screen without me being able to do…
Afro-Fantasy meets area control in IELLO’s Kitara
There’s no doubt that for a continent so rich in culture, Africa is massively under-represented in both board and videogames, with only a few examples in each area that truly explore mankind’s cradle of life. Kitara, which is designed by…
Dash Dash World — Dash Team Racing
Dash Dash World is a VR racing game that borrows from other kart racers, but at the end of the day, does its own thing, for better or worse.

Infernal Radiation — Argent energy this ain’t
You’ll fight demons to free the humans, only to find out what led to them being possessed in the first place. This is what made me question whether this was meant to be a horror game or not. Whilst the atmosphere is dark and horrific, the…

Adventure Mart — Magical items for sale!
Now, you may have read my previous article talking about the prototype version of Adventure Mart — which I got to play at UKGE back when events were real and going on. I have, since then, got my hands on the full copy and was able to…
Gordon Ramsay: Chef Blast — What is Ramsay doing in video games?
I love food games, as you probably know, and I love Gordon Ramsay — the angry, firey, TV chef who criticizes food on the internet and happens to be featured in various mobile games with his name. Will this game be about food? Unlikely. Will…
Neko Neko Cafe — Cute Cards but Confusing Gameplay
When stumbling through Kickstarter, I found Neko Neko Cafe and saw two things I really love; cats and food. Excited at a board game with these two themes, I backed the game and then played it as soon as it arrived. This game has some…
