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 PXN P5 is the slightly cheaper counterpart to the PXN P5 8K, but is still a highly versatile neat little package compatible with PC, Xbox, Playstation and the Nintendo Switch.  From its sleek and comfortable design to its highly…

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…

Story-based adventure games have always been something that interests me. While I usually prefer to play more high octane shooters and others, there is always something very comforting about playing a game intended to be taken at a walking…

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…

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…

Moorhuhn Kart 2 - Or Crazy Chicken Kart 2, as it’s called outside of Germany — came to me after a conversation with a friend. They mentioned that Moorhuhn was very popular in the early 2000’s, and after some digging, I found some quite…

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…

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,…

If you played the original, Monster Train 2 is more of that but with a few new twists. For the uninitiated though, your job is to complete eight fights on the way to the centre of heaven, picking up new cards and abilities between each…

Roguelikes used to be somewhat of an enigma to me. I never used to see the appeal of smashing my head against a wall over and over to progress in small increments. Then I got shown some very good ones, such as Slay the Spire, Cult of the…

Lost and alone, you find yourself stalked by a horrifying monster that seems to link to your past. The only option is to solve the riddles within to try and find a way out alive.

When you complete a combat encounter, you’ll get to choose which path to take next, much like in Hades. Many of these will lead you to a tree which will allow you to form an alliance with one of your unlocked heroes. Each hero has a…

At a glance, this appears to be a fairly by-the-numbers shooter. It does have a neat twist in that your helicopter can pivot. Now, this isn’t the only game to do this by a long shot, but it does play into the manoeuvrability of choppers,…

Much like other games of its ilk, Dreamcore has you lost in a bizarre liminal space with the sole objective of finding your way out. You see the world through your character’s body-cam, giving the game an eerie found-footage motif that also…

Gameplay is somewhat like the more recent Ballionaire, with you getting a set number of spins in which to reach your target. After each spin, you get to add a new symbol to your reels so that you have a greater chance of winning big money.…

The spooky scenes are a mixed bag. Some of them are some basic flickering lights or some blood trickling from the ceiling, which are fine, if generic. The interesting ones were when seemingly live-action footage was placed into the action.…

Lena’s night in the cabin is split into hour-long segments, with each hour introducing a new monster. The monsters themselves are based on Slavic folklore, which is something I found enjoyable. Each creature features the tale that it’s…

Much more enjoyable were the puzzles. Each level presents you with a door floating in space. Your job is to find a way to open the door and move on. This should be simple enough, but every door has various points of interest around it, from…

The Fine Art of Murder works exactly as you’d expect a choice driven book to work. You’ll read a passage and sometimes be presented with a choice of what to do next. Some of these decisions have wider reaching consequences than others, but…
