Narcos: Rise of the Cartels comes at the turn-based tactical squad shooter genre with a few interesting ideas and a disappointing lack of depth and polish.

Ecos: First Continent is the second of John D. Clair’s designs that we’ve reviewed here at B3, with the first one, Mystic Vale, being a game that we enjoyed immensely thanks to its unique gameplay. Ecos, whilst having a completely…

Touted as the next massive, open world, online role playing game, Citadel: Forged with Fire is a particularly exciting prospect for me. In particular because it comes from Blue Isle Studios — a crew that has both Valley and Slender to their…

When I first booted up Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition on my Xbox One X, I’m not sure what I was expecting. Maybe, I don’t know, something more than I got when I first booted up Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition on my Google tablet back in…

An RPG by ZA/UM—an artist-collective-turned-development-studio based in Estonia and the UK—Disco Elysium’s setting and lore is drawn from a custom tabletop scenario played by the group for the past seven-or-so years. Given an isometric…

It's morphin time! Morphies Law is a video game about shooting people to steal their mass for yourself. Fighting for a giant robot called your 'avatar', you compete in a variety of battle modes, invariably stealing mass to help your avatar.…

People love rituals. Most of us have several — whether we know it or not. One of mine happens annually, when the release date for the new Football Manager game is announced and I feverishly prepare myself for what will be at least a…

When it comes to management simulations, the strength of the area of focus is often the deciding factor between whether a game succeeds or not. Theme Park, for example, excited millions of fans with its theme, despite some relatively…

Up until now, I think that every drinking related board game I’ve played has been strictly a party game, usually with a real focus on drinking and very little actual game. Drunkgeon, whilst undoubtedly linked to the consumption of alcohol…

I love Halloween just as much as the next person! I like dressing up, getting candy, decorating the  house, and, well everything pumpkin themed. What I don’t enjoy is the horror aspect of Halloween. Each year I am presented with many, many…

Overland is a turn-based roguelike that casts you as a survivor on a more-often-than-not doomed road trip through a devastated American wasteland. Driving from the East Coast to the West, you must scavenge for supplies, invite other…

Until Dawn was one of the five or six Sony exclusive games that first made me invest in a shiny new PS4. Supermassive Games' blockbusting horror game featured an all-star cast, incredible visuals and, most importantly, a heart pounding…

Have you played Dark Souls? I sure have! It’s definitely a video game. It isn’t that the fanbase is toxic (it isn’t) nor that the game is too hard (it isn’t) nor that the game is obtuse (maybe), but people are often quick to ignore the…

With the number of strategy games hitting Nintendo’s incredible Switch platform recently, you’d be forgiven for missing some of the more obscure entries into the market. Shiro Games Northgard is most certainly not to be missed however, and…

Sea of Solitude is the tale of Kay, a girl who fights the monster that is depression in a city drowning with despair.

Playing a video game doesn’t always have to be about competition, skills and frustration. This is something I learnt with time, how to enjoy and seek relaxation to escape this frantic world. In fact, this is exactly what caught my attention…
