Old Skies – Time’s arrow
Wadjet Eye, a developer that any fan of pointing and clicking should keep close to their hearts and wallets, has returned with another gracefully told story about flawed humans. Old Skies is, it seems, a less flexible game than previous…
Blades of Fire is an addictive blacksmithing and fighting adventure that I couldn’t put down
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…
Panzer Corps 2: Frontlines – Cyrenaica
You have the option of playing either Great Britain OR Italy. M'kay?
Even after 13 years, Tokaido still tells a sweet tale for gateway gamers
When we first reviewed Tokaido back in 2018, it was already 6 years old and board gaming was entering a Golden Age with innovative new games being released weekly and entirely new mechanics emerging all the time. Somehow, even then, Tokaido…
Dead by Daylight – Five Nights at Freddy’s Chapter — Jumpscaringly Good
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…
Edifier Neobuds Planar — Noise Cancelling on the Go
The Neobuds Planar from Edifier are a comfortable earbud that sports similar accessories to the larger, over-ear headphones (such as the WN950NB) with a small carry bag, charger and a varied bunch of different sized eartips.
Sunderfolk – Sundertale?
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…
WH950NB Headphones: High Quality Audio With a Premium Feel
The WH950NB Wireless Headphones come in a compact, oval-shaped case with a small pouch to carry accessories.
Purgin’ Planets in Son of a Gun
Son of a Gun explodes the top-down shooter format into the modern day. Top-down shooters are something that I really don’t get a chance to play much, so when Son of a Gun dropped into my lap, it was a pretty neat reminder that when they’re…
That’s Dope – All about Conversation
Sometimes, board games are a really great way to connect with other people and get to know them. That’s Dope is one of these types of games; one that prioritises conversation and uses cards to connect with the other people that you are…
Don’t Panic demands you keep calm and list category entries
Don't Panic continues to be an approachable, family-friendly game of quick-thinking and list making. Iteration, not innovation, is the way that you keep a B-tier board game on shelves. Don't Panic is a perfect example of that, looking back…
Soulslinger – High Noon
The art direction in Soulslinger is excellent. I loved going into these desolate weird west adjacent places, from standard canyons and streets to demon ravaged farmlands and miasma poisoned townships. Every new location looked impressive…
Altered Alma takes carefully timed combat and metroidvania exploration to Neo-Barcelona
It's normally Tokyo that gets the gritty cyberpunk overhaul in Sci-Fi, that's not the case in Altered Alma, where it's Neo-Barcelona that takes the spotlight Altered Alma is the next title from 2Awesome Studio, the team behind Dimension…
Island of Winds compels with its emphatic twist on adventure
Easily one of the most compelling games I played while at GDC, Island of Winds takes the adventure formula and gives it a empathic twist. After a childhood filled with games that were liberally stuffed with Norse, Greek, Roman and Egyptian…
Thousand Year Old Vampire is the definitive journaling RPG
Thousand Year Old Vampire is a solo, journaling RPG that — in no time — underlines the value of memory and humanity. When you write about board games, tabletop games and videogames you write mostly about iteration. In fact, for most of my…
Zombicide 2nd Edition – PariZ is an enjoyable but doughy expansion
Here at BigBossBattle, we’re big fans of Zombicide: 2nd Edition. We raved about it in our review, we ranked it highly in our list of the 15 Best Dungeon Crawlers and we even enjoyed the stupid digital spin-off. Heck, we love CMON’s zombie…
Snowsquall Grip – Frostbite
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…
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is still one of the best management simulators ever (even on console)
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…
Moving Houses – Changing rooms
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,…
Heat: Tunnel Vision is an enthusiast’s expansion that you don’t need, but you’ll…
As reliable as your favourite mug, Days of Wonder followed on from the successes of Ticket to Ride, Five Tribes, Smallworld and Memoir ‘44 when it released HEAT back in 2023. Designed by Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen and…
