I think it’s the sort of game where you need to go into it blind and experience all of its insanity with as little background knowledge as possible.

The original Frostpunk was a masterclass in moral compromise. It asked players not just how they would survive, but what they were willing to sacrifice to do so. Now, Frostpunk 2 arrives with a colder heart and a broader scope, trading the…

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has just had a brand new face let loose on its dismal, lawless world and who better to bring that law back into the light than the Emperor’s lawbringers: The Adeptus Arbites.  Arbites, for those unfamiliar, are…

There’s no denying that Empyreal makes a strong first impression. From the moment you step into its fractured, floating world, it’s clear that this is a game with vision. The skybound setting — all shimmering islands, ancient ruins, and…

Well now, Splitgate 2 has certainly come out to one hell of a reception eh? Ian Proulx, CEO of 1047 Games who develops Splitgate 2, came onstage while at Summer Games Fest and boldly told us that the FPS market is stale, and he's sick of…

Returning to the North Sea oil rig that served as the haunting stage for Still Wakes the Deep, the Siren’s Rest DLC offers a more introspective, subdued experience than its predecessor.  Where the base game was a masterclass in…

The Sinking City Remastered, played on Xbox One, is an atmospheric detective adventure that blends Lovecraftian horror with open-world exploration and investigative gameplay. Developed by Frogwares, this remastered edition refines the…

I'm going to open with a clear message here. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is honestly one of the best games that I have played this year. I came into it a bit apprehensive, being a massive Dark Souls fan, and was wondering how this would hold…

Have you ever had a moment in your life that you look back on and thought about how you could have done things differently? If you were given the chance, would you want to see how much your life would change if you altered a significant…

Nico Saves The State slid into my inbox this week, and it initially made me suck air between my teeth. I'll be one of the first to admit that puzzle games, platformers and me usually don't mix. I can rarely handle anything more complicated…

From the outset, Blades of Fire feels unashamedly old-school. It opens with a cutscene that makes little to no sense, and the game takes an awfully long time to bring its memorable, interesting storyline to bear.  That’s not really what…

Dead By Daylight is entering its ninth year, a surprisingly long time for a live service game in today's day and age. It offers something special to the video game market that means it has, essentially, no competition. Texas Chainsaw…

Control works very nicely too, with everything being done on your phone screen. When moving, you drag your finger across your screen and you can see the path your character will take, following your finger around the hexes. It’s a little…

You can’t be away from a heat source for more than thirty seconds before your display starts getting distorted as you suffer from the effects of the weather. I can understand why this is done when the play area is so small, but trying to…

As far as remakes and remasters go, we’re now firmly into the realms of remasters of re-releases of remakes that often came out ten or more years ago. This concept is strange to me, since whilst I often feel like I’m still a spritely…

But then the house changed, with rooms being added and entirely new floors appearing. The first time this happened, I genuinely started second guessing myself and thought I simply hadn’t spotted that door, but then more and more turns up,…

I describe Centum as being more akin to a visual novel, as really there aren’t any serious puzzles to solve, inventory items to manage, or information to carry from area to area. This isn’t a knock on the game as it’s designed in this way,…

Just as you become familiar with one mechanic, it offers you the next one with a subtle cough and a thrash of a power chord.

I never played Journey to the Savage Planet, but if my experience with Revenge of the Savage Planet is anything to go by, I may well have missed out.  Revenge of the Savage Planet is the product of Raccoon Logic, a newly minted developer…

If your parents were anything like mine then, as a kid, they used to tell you various little white lies that you can still remember even now. You know the ones: Don't go swimming thirty minutes after you've eaten, carrots are good for your…
