Tunic is a lesson in tempering expectations for me. First shown off in teaser form back in 2017. Tunic promised ambient music coupled with gameplay through a familiar inspiration. All was quiet until a couple of years later, ISOMETRICORP…

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,…

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…

I’ve often bemoaned the fact that console gamers never seem to get “proper” versions of grand strategy games. There are probably two or maybe three reasons for this — the first and second are because of how consoles are made; with limited…

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…

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.

The police will try to smash you off the road, making your life more difficult whilst other road users will undo your good work by turning the road grey again. In a neat twist though, if you drive near them, they’ll become colourful too,…

I'm not sure where to even begin with Aztech Forgotten Gods, so let's start at the beginning. Almost two years ago Lienzo studio teased an announcement for an alternate reality future of Mesoamérica people. Personally, the project having…

Three is the magic number

Like any good Choose Your Own Adventure-style narrative RPG, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante presents the reader/player with innumerable difficult choices — but unlike most adventures that follow this style, The Life and Suffering of…

Individual rooms are somewhat unique, each with its own event that seems to be unrelated to what’s come before. There are spooky children’s rooms, abodes for a stereotypical cat lady, and even a PT homage. I think the items you collect from…

Relationships are important in this choose your own adventure story meets card game. Signs of the Sojourner will make you want to connect with the world around you.

Without spoiling too much, Martha is Dead focuses on Guilia’s attempt to find out precisely what happened to her sister, whilst also trying to come to terms with her loss, and the events of the war that play out around her. All is not as it…

50 Years is the perfect turn-based strategy battle simulator game to play if you only have a few minutes, but be warned, the desire to achieve a fifty-year victory could have you replaying for hours on end! 

Unlike the original game, Ziggurat 2 has a full campaign with a plot. The plot is very simple, with good mages and bad mages trying to save or destroy the world, with you heading up the good guys. You’ll complete quests around a map to…

A bit of an odd one, Lacuna. On the one hand it's a classic slice of Noir played straight, with scifi flourishes. It plays simply, until you hit an investigative sequence. At this point it may well not be as twisting and winding as it seems…

300 multi-purpose missiles, forty bombs and over one thousand rounds of heavy-machine gun ammunition. That, believe it or not, is a relatively modest payload for the airplanes you'll fly in Sector D2's excellent Project Wingman — a clear…

If you know the original Thea at all, then you'll probably already know that there's no way I could do it justice in a brief article intended to take five or so minutes to read through. The reason that I've chosen to cover Thea 2: The…

When it comes to cooking, couch co-op games, I love trying out new ones! Cannibal Cuisine is one of these types of games, however, there is a twist. Instead of cooking up lovely dishes for some sort of crowd, you are actually killing…

I was delighted by the visual presentation when I first saw Demon Turf. The combination of 2D characters placed into a 3D world feels novel. In my preview, I mentioned some worries that I hoped would be addressed by launch. Even still…
