When controlling Luka, you explore the titular town of Beacon Pines, getting into trouble with your friends, and potentially uncovering that mystery about the town. You’ll be talking to townsfolk, investigating points of interest, and…

Over the course of the game’s three-or-so hour campaign, you’ll acquire shotguns, pistols, an explosive crossbow, and throwing blades to add to your basic sword and skull blast options. Each weapon really does feel unique, but other than…

Kao The Kangaroo, an oft forgotten star of those loveable mid-tier early 2000s 3D Platformers, is firmly back! As a person who grew up with a strong and enduring love of this trashiest of subgenres, it’s delightful to see a development team…

You’re here to tap buttons in time to some sweet jams, and the mechanics here are solid and enjoyable. The screen is split into left and right sides, with each side having a top, middle, and bottom lane. As in so many games of this style,…

Early video arcades, with games like Galaga and Pac-Man, were dead long before most people reading this will have been able to visit them. I only remember these arcades, vicariously, through moments presented in TV shows, books, movies or…

That lack of scares is really what brings Quintus and the Absent Truth down. The occasional jump scare accompanied by a quick violin chord doesn’t cut it when the atmosphere isn’t there due to the repetitive gameplay, simple environments,…

Yes, there are jump scares, with ghosts appearing in your path to give you that jolt of terror, but its everything around those moments that really work. The jump scares feel earned, as that atmosphere builds constantly.

Both characters will need to solve puzzles to progress, disarming bear traps, completing circuits, and finding keys to locked doors. None of them are too taxing, and aside from needing to find keys, these types of puzzles are rarely…

Unlike most horror games, dying due to the many threats in the motel won’t reset you back to the checkpoint. Instead, you’ll awaken, chained to another bathtub whilst the man in the orange jumpsuit tells you that you need to do better…

Sometimes you get to play a game so ostensibly intriguing, so fully singular in it’s identity and style you just have to sit back a bit and go “games really are amazing.” Cosmic Top Secret, a highly personal, autobiographical game where you…

Right from the off, this game feels very similar to Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay, with a 3D field to explore, and stars to collect. My Little Pony does things a little differently though. Rather than individual levels to…

Recently I have been really enjoying simulator games, and so when Winkeltje: The Little Shop came to Xbox, I was interested in downloading it and seeing what happened. This little shop game has a lot of different options, things to manage,…

RICO London removes pretty much everything I liked from its predecessor. I really rather enjoyed RICO, the 2019 roguelike first person shooter. Your cop, with a friend in tow if you wished, would choose missions to take on in apartments,…

Silt is a strange thing — written up as a surrealist adventure horror, where you’re tasked as a mysterious diver sent to uncover equally mysterious things in the depths of the ocean. It’s more or less a really bizarre version of Ecco The…

Heavenly Bodies offers you the hijinks of controlling one or a pair of astronauts with physics-based manipulation in space to solve challenges and complete puzzles.

It controls about as well as you might expect a light gun game to when using a controller. The likes of Blue Estate have shown that games like this can work well enough without a lightgun, but I feel that The House of The Dead Remake…

With all this said, it’s nice that Roguebook does enough to differentiate itself from the pack, with characters having wildly different cards that can be used, and the ability to attach gems to cards to change their utility. There’s also…

In Early Access over on the Epic Games launcher, Pinball FX is Zen Studios' latest release. With it they've tried to change up and enhance the way that people collect tables, but it comes at a strange time and in a strange way. Zen Studios…

All family isn't who you think they are. Figure out who tried to poison Uncle Marcus in this FMV mystery by uncovering all the family secrets.
