It's been 22 years since The Thing released for PS2 & Xbox, which is actually longer than the time between the launch of the game and the movie that its story was based on: John Carpenter's The Thing. When I heard that The Thing:…

Existing at the incredibly bizarre cross-section between real time strategy and typing games, Touch Type Tale is a beautifully drawn, often frantic experience that's both novel and fun. I last wrote about Touch Type Tale in 2019 after…

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.…

Despite three seasons of gigantic Kickstarters, Marvel United might be one of the best games that you’ve probably never heard of. Originally designed by Eric M. Lang and Andrea Chiarvesio and published by CMON, this solo, cooperative or…

Anyone who has read my reviews of Zombicide: Second Edition or my recent 14 Best Dungeon Crawlers article will already know that I am a big fan of the Zombicide system. Zombicide is a series of cooperative, zombie-bashing miniatures games…

Kayak VR: Mirage set out to do one thing, and it did it well: create a realistic kayak experience in VR, but it ended up delivering so much more in the process.

As someone who grew up playing a LOT of tower defence/base defence flash games on school computers, you could say that I have somewhat of an affinity for the genre. Be it rose-tinted nostalgia or the fact that I poured hours upon hours into…

This sequel is structured in a similar way to the first game, with you needing to solve puzzles to find tapes that then progress the story and lead to more puzzles. Here though, the puzzles are harder, but also clearer that you need to…

Despite the lunar calendar saying otherwise, it would appear to be the year of the Dog Man, with this being the second (of three) Dog Man board games that we'll have reviewed so far this year. Unlike Dog Man Flip-o-Rama there's a little bit…

Seven years on from the previous mainline entry, Dynasty Warriors: Origins' developers have opted for a few major changes to the series, hoping to revitalise the series after a period of increasingly prevalent "sense of déjà vu and…

Burden of Command is a rare twist of something familiar and new, in this case sensibilities of turn-based RPGs meet turn-based tactics while wearing the skin of skirmish-level wargaming. There's a lot going on in that opening sentence, and…

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…

We have now played a large number of hidden object games, and most recently those have primarily had a cat theme. But, would you believe there are more being released? Meow Moments: Celebrating Renewal & Romance is part of a new series…

Wine making Virtuoso? Lord of the grapes? Crushing it at the vineyard? Viticulture World is the new cooperative expansion for worker placement classic Viticulture from Stonemaier Games that challenges you to synchronise your efforts with…

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…

After Zeus was done deposing his father and took the throne as king of then gods, ending the Titanomachy, things should have gotten better for the mortals down on Gaia. Unfortunately — as with many thrones won through violence and war —…

I feel like VR is a perfect place for roleplaying games, as you can really get into the pretend and playing around in that job. Shave and Stuff is a game all about doing hair, and eventually tattoos, for individual customers. Each time…

Sometimes, we play longer games at our tabletop group! Revenge of the Dictators is a medium length (that's longer for us, for certain), strategy game where you are looking to convince the president of the United States to let you take over…

For my daughter it's become Dog Man day everyday. She's got all the books and we recently completed the videogame. There's big hype for the upcoming movie, and, now, we've been playing the Dog Man board games, starting with Dog Man…

You don’t have to fight all the humans you see though. You can try to make peace with factions by completing jobs for them, often at the expense of other factions of course. There appears to be an overall goal of trying to unite as many…
