Super Dark Deception – Do my eyes deceive me?
This works in the same way as Pac-Man, with you running around mazes and collecting soul shards whilst avoiding monsters rather than ghosts. The camera is much closer in, and some of the monsters have different behaviours, but at its heart…
Lorcana Gateway Box Set is the ultimate introduction to the popular TCG
Ravensburger are known for a lot of things, but mostly puzzles and board games. As such, it was a real surprise when they managed to not only land the Disney license for a card game, but actually deliver an easy-to-access and fun to play…

USC: Counterforce – How much force, exactly?
I really enjoyed the single mission and operations modes. Here, you can set up parameters however you want, from objectives and map type, to squad sizes and weapon firing modes. You can then set up one or two squads to take on the mission,…
Ominous Stew has you fighting while you cook.
There are a lot of multiplayer co-op cooking games out there, allowing you to get frustrated with your friends while you all work together to cook a dish. In Ominous Stew, you are not working together. As a matter of fact, you both are…
The Spaceglow Three lights up a space well
I feel like a lot of the lighting in gamer spaces and in offices tend to be things that you can plug in, via UBS. There are so many different RGB lights that are just plug in and play. Though this is great for smaller lighting features, I…

Aaero 2 – Ribbon riders
I hope you like dub-step and dub-step equivalent music. Every song is very intense and falls into categories that could easily be described as adjacent to that genre. They certainly fit the theme of the world around you as you’re flying…
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged is a straightforward but effective remake
I have a long and potted history with the Broken Sword series — which begins back in 1997 when 14 year old me would get the bus into Leeds to trade three or four of my older games for one brand new one. Whilst I would often regret making…
