In Ghostrunner your cybernetic suit provides you with superhuman powers and lightning-fast reflexes to assist you in climbing a massive tower to take down the ruler — The Keymaster — of your dystopian city and finally find your true…

Even though I haven’t played it, I’d imagine that the PC version of Big Pharma might be quite an interesting prospect. Four or five hours of console experience has certainly whet my appetite, but despite the interesting prospect, iffy…

Rockfish Games expands on its addictive space-faring formula, opens up exploration and delivers an epic story that gets straight to the point in Everspace 2.

There are a plethora of tower defense games out there, but none bring the charm and the magic like Dungeon Defenders: Awakened does.

Even though I haven’t completed Cardpocalypse, I’ve spent enough time with it to get a good sense of how steeped in nostalgia it is. Not only does this card battler literally riff on Pokemon as its inspiration, it also nods to just about…

The graphics are bright and friendly. Other than base environmental items like rock and grass, it’s all very alien and unique giving you a great sense of discovery as you turn a corner to find another new plant or animal.

Black Skylands puts you in the shoes of a sky explorer, tasked with entering mysterious lands and eliminating The Swarm: an evil legion of creatures hellbent on taking over the floating islands that serve as your home.

Following on from its smash-hit series, Baldur’s Gate & Icewind Dale, BioWare dropped another classic in July of 2002 by shifting their storytelling prowess into 3D for the first time and injected a friendlier Dungeons & Dragons 3rd…

Lost Ember has all the hallmarks of a critical darling — and you only need to look at its Metacritic and Steam ratings for confirmation. Unfortunately, for me, it was yet another walking simulator with a twist.  Yes, I’m sorry to preempt my…

Sparklite has a great premise, some great pixel graphics and a soundtrack that didn’t make me want to throw the controller at the TV after the 10th run but it ultimately doesn’t take all the ingredients it has on offer to make an astounding…

Children of Zodiarcs is a turn-based, strategic JRPG in which the player must manage a hand of cards and a fistful of dice for each character they control, blending the worlds of video and traditional board gaming.

At its most basic AVICII Invector is like a cross between Guitar Hero and Amplitude, with you moving your ship left and right on a track to line up with a button that you then press in time to the music. Then there are sections that are…

Once again, a Jackbox Party Pack has a couple of outstanding games and a couple of weaker ones. The handful of great games kept us entertained quite nicely, and the more disappointing ones were simply ignored after a couple of rounds.

An old school 3D Platformer adventure, told by an old guy chatting to his kid. How delightfully meta!

Dawn of Man is an ambitious and relatively serious simulation about the earliest stages of the development of humankind that is an unusual fit for consoles. Despite its muddy colours and slow gameplay, however, there’s an addictiveness to…

Shovel Knight: King of Cards tells the story of King Knight and his quest to win a tournament against three other kings in order to be the greatest king of them all.

Shovel Knight: Showdown is a fighting game featuring over sixteen characters from the series in an all-out brawl.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels comes at the turn-based tactical squad shooter genre with a few interesting ideas and a disappointing lack of depth and polish.

From a literal walk in the park to delivering some of the most frightening experiences in video games, the humble walking simulator has demonstrated its longevity to become much more than a niche genre. Close to the Sun, from Italian…

Quoth the video game critic: Nevermore. Ghost Parade is an undoubtedly beautiful game with compelling characters, story, and setting. Unfortunately, this game about spirits is haunted by some pretty underwhelming controls. Something is…
