I love a good roguelite, and Feed The Deep is one of the best to come out in recent years. A clever balance of rules, design and procedural logic come together to create an experience full of tension and urgency. When you first see Feed The…

But for those who like a cosy game, Blockbuster Inc. fits the bill quite nicely. I quite enjoyed the routine of setting up movies to film, managing training of staff, and putting money into advertising campaigns. The difficulty isn’t too…

I am not sure why I didn’t expect Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland to not feel like a challenging, retro platform and instead to be some sort of newer age game featuring the loveable babies from my childhood, but here we are! This game feels…

When Frostpunk launched back in 2018 it became an instant classic by fusing together base-building, society management and an almost-hopeless post-apocalyptic setting. Frostpunk 2 manages to build on every element of that as it challenges…

Digital Eclipse’s Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord delivers a new but rustic coat of paint to the 43-year old granddaddy that inspired some of the biggest RPG franchises out there. When I was gifted a review copy of the game, I…

You’ll enter the dungeon with a small backpack and a handful of basic equipment, normally a weapon, shield and a consumable item. You’ll move around a node-based map, finding treasure and events as well as enemies to confront. Combat is…

Turn-based, squad based fantasy games seem to be a dime-a-dozen these days, but the danger of assuming that they're all similar means that you'll risk missing promising titles like Zodiac Legions. There's a chance that, due to its visual…

Sushi Battle Rambunctiously is much like the title; where you and your friends play as Sushi, who battle around free to roam, single screen maps, trying not to die. There are tons of chunky, fun sushi characters to pick from, as well as…

The best offense is a good defence if Dig or Die's core gameplay loop is anything to go by. More than a few years back, before Battle Royale's became the hot new thing, sandbox games were having quite a big moment. It was then that Epic…

I feel like I’ve played a large number of word-based puzzle games, as there are just so many out there. LOK Digital, however, does something completely different, as you don’t actually need to know any words to solve this puzzle. You just…

The narrative is told in an interesting way, with lots of visual interpretation and foreshadowing, even though this game only clocks in at two hours or so. It’s helped considerably by the hand drawn art style that gives everything an almost…

Pine Hearts is an adorable adventure game where you play as Tyke, a young adult looking to re-discover some of his memories by visiting their quiet hometown in the mountains. It all starts  after you’ve gotten off your train, with quests…
