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…

AnShi is a wild game about an alien who rides its hoverboard through vast, exotic landscapes in order to activate memories from its ancestors’ past.

A game for those who love the structure of board games but have no time for turns, Wartile is a bouncy hoppy Nordic adventure, sailing across the seas to save your kingdom. Bounding across the Nordic Isles, Wartile's gorgeous little…

2020 was a year where I did not play as many video games as previous years. It was a year of staying home, a year of lots of work, and a year of lots of spending time on the couch not thinking about much. Despite being a strange year for…

Explore a school of magic as you meet a varied cast of students and staff. Throughout you'll find magical gems that illuminate past moments in time. Happy Ray Games tells this story through charm and turn-based RPG elements—Ikenfell.

Chronos: Before the Ashes is a solid foray into a more classic Souls formula that steps back from Gunfire’s differentiating gunplay mechanics and back into close quarter combat

Tools Up! is a game I have previously played, albeit a few years back at Gamescom. The premise of the game is sort of like Moving Out, where you must quickly get into a house, but instead of moving furniture, you are looking to decorate the…

I have played the original Katamari Damacy. It was ages and ages ago, before I could even read properly. I remember fondly rolling around the ball, collecting all of the objects so that I could then make a star for some strange big-head man…

Overland is a turn-based survival game set in a Post-Apocalyptic America. You must take care of a group of travellers as they road trip across the States; fighting monsters, rescuing survivors and scavenging for resources. I’m going to give…

A giant leap forward from Oceanhorn’s first outing, Oceanhorn 2 is a fun, friendly action-RPG that has some interesting mechanics mixed with tool based puzzles in a beautifully crafted world that’s hard not to recommend for fans of the…

I’m not sure what this game is about. I know that The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature is about the section of Frankenstein wherein the creature is left to their own devices, and is recounting their treatment to the doctor. About the…

Evergate is a tough platformer that pushes players to make split-second decisions in order to survive in a beautiful but dangerous hand-painted world.

I wish that I had paid more attention to the marketing. I have yet to play a game with metroidvania elements that I have liked, sadly. Hollow Knight to Super Metroid, I have bounced off them all. I thought Spiritfarer would be the one, with…

Manifold Garden is a surreal exploration of a world that doesn’t exist, with geometry that can’t exist, and yet, it redefines the way we look at puzzle games as a whole and it manages to do with expertly defined precision.

It’s no small thing being asked to produce a digital adaptation of one of the most popular new board games of the last few years, but Dire Wolf Digital (who previously gave us the excellent Raiders of the North Sea) have really gone to town…

Runner Duck's Space Crew shares more than a few similarities to its predecessor Bomber Crew, but the (hyper)jump to a space setting does wonders for their refined systems. Sci-fi set Space Crew and WWII-straddling Bomber Crew have a lot in…

Wonders never seem to cease when it comes to what can be achieved on Nintendo’s Switch. For me, being able to access a pretty much complete edition of Civilization VI will be tough to beat, and yet developers continue to push the envelope…

The platforming can be fairly precise and those looking to find all the artifacts hidden will need to explore every nook and cranny. The payoff is the ability to purchase new skins for Jack from the shady vendor found in most levels

Tamashii, released on Switch and PC, is a side-scrolling puzzle game featuring puzzle rooms. It’s also something of an abstract, surreal horror inspired by Japanese films. Maybe a bit of Giger? A whole lot of Junji Ito. It revels in proper…

Being the son of a god, Zagreus is built as such. Muscular and lean, he looks the part. Growing up in the underworld has also offered him a chance to hone his skills with some fearsome combatants meaning that if you have the dexterity then…
