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…

So where does Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, the latest collaboration between Adult Swim Studios, Tartakovsky and Valhalla Game Studios take our intrepid hero if the story has been told?

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a game about discovery, patience, and perseverance. As a cutter, it is your responsibility to tear apart ships, piece by piece, safely and efficiently, in order to maximize profits and not get yourself killed in…

Whilst I’m not overly familiar with Arc System Works games in general, Granblue Fantasy: Versus recently caught my eye thanks to its incredible visuals and silky smooth animation. At first I thought I might be stepping into a fairly average…

Superhot: Mind Control Delete is the third game in the series and while it sticks to the tried and true formula of smashing red enemies made out of glass, it expands the frantic firefights to a ballet through randomly generated rooms full…

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…

The most recent update, The Armoury, adds a host of new gameplay mechanics that will change the way you set up for a run. You can now have multiple weapon altars set up before an exploration, giving you a choice of starting equipment, as…

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…

Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes may not be the most proclaimed Point & Click Adventure game around but it’s certainly one that should be on your radar. Its predecessor, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout released back in 2018 and…

Underwater experiences in games can either leave you feeling completely on edge, unaware of the dangers that surround you or utterly relaxed, embracing the life around you. Luckily, Beyond Blue takes the latter approach and was one of the…

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is just as charming and weird as the original — Only now it feels fully realised. It was the 90s. Britpop was on the uprise and Friends dominated the airwaves. It was also when the original PlayStation first graced…

Getting into the groove is essential; Ghostrunner expects you to be all ninja, all the time and when you adjust to its pacing it flows like a hot knife through butter or a sharp blade through soft flesh
