Axis Football 2024 is a groundbreaking American football game, looking to take Madden's crown. When it comes to American Football games we aren't exactly spoiled for choice, much like football/soccer major franchises and yearly releases…

Here it is, the dream started by Red Faction: Guerilla, anger at Lego, kicking down a sand castle, all realised in glorious voxels. If you can see it, you can blow it up. Teardown delivers handily on the core idea that collapsing buildings…

The beautiful, neon, colorful world of Ultros looks like one out of a strange, psychedelic dream. This metroidvania has you stuck in a “cosmic uterus holding an ancient, demonic being”. There are tons of other monsters in this world, which…

My Time at Sandrock is a sandbox story-oriented RPG freshly released by Pathea Games, whose name you might recognise from their previous titles; Ever Forward, Planet Explorers and sister game My Time at Portia.  Within My Time at Sandrock,…

Coral Island is another slice of life, farming simulator. This time, though, you'll be exploring a seaside island, full of different people, animals, and things to do! After moving to this town to look after a massive plot of land, you get…

Brightly coloured, chaotic and cooperative, Pizza Possum is great at what it does, even if it doesn't do much of it. Pizza Possum is a game built entirely around that exact moment in stealth games where things go wrong — however, unlike…

Mechanically, this is even simpler than Mario Kart, which likely is due to its mobile game roots. There’s no accelerating here, with your steed hurtling off right from the start and automatically jumping over small obstacles. Amusingly, the…

TearDown is the most advanced voxel physics game I have ever played, in both a graphics and physics-rendering perspective.  It is also the most fun I have ever had during my time playing games on PC. Teardown is about finding your own…

Most of your time in the game is spent walking around an environment to find a character or object so the story progresses, playing the occasional mini-game as you go. It’s nice enough, and means it’s very accessible to younger kids who…

First is the unique (for the subgenre anyway) Slime mechanic. This works a lot like a meter in many fighting games, most notably recent Mortal Kombat releases, with you building it up by hitting and being hit. Depending on how much Slime…

Larger confrontations are more interesting, with you having options like clapping and bowing in the correct combination to banish your foe, or perhaps using an ally to distract them. I appreciated these more as they put a thrilling…

Tales from Candleforth is a horror-filled 2D point and click adventure game where fairy tales were written in a forbidden book. Now, years later, the text is mixing with the pages of the story itself, twisting them around, and creating a…

Warhammer 40,000 has gone a surprising amount of time since it was last pivoted into a gore-soaked boomer shooter, but Boltgun has more than made up for it, as one of perhaps the most obvious adaptations of the universe, but also one of the…

Mechanically, this is very simple to play, with there actually being quite limited interaction. I could see some people arguing that this is a walking simulator, a term that I’m not a fan of, but there’s a certain element of puzzle solving…

You can end up with a fleet of ships to hop in and out of when you head to home base, or you can sell them to get a new model. They feel quite different too, with powerful, armoured Vindicators being quite sluggish when compared to the…

A Castle Full of Cats is a hidden object game where you are looking for various cats within static screens to help you unlock more doors, go through lots of levels, and learn more about the cats that are living within this massive castle.…

Slice of life, adventure farming games are as popular as ever! There is such a high demand for wholesome games that have you working on small tasks and exploring characters that might live around you. Farlands is one of these types of…

The first thing you notice upon starting the game, and the thing that immediately attracted me to it, is just how awesome it looks. That 50s movie style is incredibly well done and permeates every element of the game. The cutscenes are…

Hell Pie, or the second coming of Conker’s Bad Fur Day, is another in a long line of indie-made 3D platformers that aim to recapture the hey-day of collecting shiny things, to, once again, mixed success.  It’s hard for me to quantify the…

Hauntii is a stunning, simplistic adventure game where you find yourself in a massive world, full of mystery and other ghosts. At first, you have signs to help you travel around, as you learn to grasp your new powers within this realm. You…
