The Fine Art of Murder – Let me paint you a picture
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…
Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles is an almost indescribable and unique experience
As we all know, people can be strange — and perpetually hard to please. We consistently hope and wish for new experiences, yet when we have them, we complain that they are unfamiliar. Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles is a prime…
Ghosts Can’t Draw is a Ouija-style guessing game
Every other Monday, for the last couple of years, myself and my family go along to a local board game café and play through something new. There's been a lot of favourites over the years, but it often comes back to the drawing games, with…
Animal Well is a “well good” and completely unique Metroidvania
Aside from punning on the word “well” I really struggled to think of a clever opening for this review of Animal Well. This two-dimensional, 8-bit inspired Metroidvania is so fantastic that it deserves to be spoken about in the straightest…
Dog Man: Mission Impawsible fully captures the energy and character of the comics
I've been playing platforming games for most of my life and my daughter Robin loves Dav Pilkey's Dog Man comic series. So, what could go wrong with the two of us giving Dog Man: Mission Impawsible a shot? As it turns out, not much. Dog Man:…
Liminalcore – So scary you’ll wet yourself?
Much like POOLS, Liminalcore is absolutely aimed at a niche audience. If you aren’t someone who can find enjoyment in getting lost in a confusing maze only to stumble on the correct route, then this isn’t a game for you. Those that can…
Edifier M60 – Small speaker with powerful sound
If you are looking for a new desk speaker and want something that combines a classic design with powerful audio, then you don’t need to look much further than the Edifier M60. These compact 2.0 desktop speakers are designed to plug into…
Sulfur is a dungeon crawler, shooter with roguelite sensibilities
The dust from Sulfur's Early Access launch (October 28th, 2024) has settled now and I've spent a little bit longer playing it since we previewed it earlier this year. Its always tricky to review a good run-based game because you always…
Dumb Ways Free For All – Party Gaming Fun
Dumb Ways to Die is, to me, that song that went viral years ago. I know there is some sort of mobile game, extra songs, etc, but I really just remember the catchy jingle that resulted in saying that you need to be careful around trains.…
Fear the Spotlight – Stage fright
You play as Vivian, a nerdy girl who volunteers at the school’s library. She and her rebellious wild-child friend Amy are breaking into that very library one night so they can perform a séance, something that Amy is keen to try out. Things…
Our Brilliant Ruin; Of Bucolic Fields and Bubonic Fiends
Bucolic green fields and sweeping manorial lands fill the ever-shrinking lands of The Dramark: The setting of Our Brilliant Ruin, an assimilation of the Edwardian (Belle Époque) High Society of Western Europe with a dark, cosmic horror. …

Dagon: Complete Edition brings the world of Lovecraft to life
Dagon: Complete Edition features a main story and three included DLC’s that are presented as a series of near-static scenes that the player observes, listens to and vaguely explores, all set in the world created by HP Lovecraft. I was…
3 Minutes to Midnight – The hands that threaten doom!
The world itself feels interesting, and something that could have been lifted from The Day of the Tentacle with the slightly off-shaped buildings, brightly coloured characters, and repeated fourth wall breaks. All those characters were a…
Rusted Moss — Gameplay Hook
Games are heavily weighed on the importance of having a particular mechanic or style that makes them stand out in a crowded space. Rusted Moss seems to have found its niche — for better or worse — in its grappling hook mechanic.
Taskmaster: The Board Game – Chaotic Fun
I am a big fan of Taskmaster, the TV show. I’ve actually seen every episode out and often rewatch them in the evenings when I want to watch something that’s always funny and surprising. Taskmaster: The Board Game tries to take the concept…
Death or Glory and a chat with Roy Loh
Gameplay itself is quite simple at first glance, with depth being provided by figuring out effective card synergies. Cards have a speed, as well as an attack or defence value. Attack cards do damage, and defence ones block it as you’d…
Pass the Biscuit – Fun charades game
We’ve played a few of these sort of charades styled games by now — the ones where players have a deck of cards and need to get their partner to guess the word or phrase on the card without you saying the word or phrase. Pass the Biscuit is…
Listeria Wars – A scientifically accurate tower defence
Listeria Wars is a real time strategy game in which you must defend your body from various bacteria that are ingested by your host body. It happens that your host body is, in this case, a disgusting guy who eats burgers off the floor
