Intergalactic Plumber – Very Fun Meeples
There are some tabletop games that have very unique meeples; The little characters that players play as. Often, these are just a unique artstyle, but in Intergalactic Plumber, they are actually created to be a large part of the game. These…
Let’s Paint! Warriors of Rohan
In this article, I’ll be telling you how to take them from grey to something that will look good in battle without too much difficulty. The majority of this will involve using contrast paints, which will increase the speed of getting them…
The Thing: Remastered is a triumph that repairs the biggest flaw of the original
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:…
Touch Type Tale turns typing tactical with astonishing style
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…
Cursed Feed – Frightening footage?
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.…
Marvel United – Your ever-expanding guide to the multiverse of CMON’s cooperative…
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…
Your Complete Guide to Zombicide: White Death
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 — Waves Of Brilliance
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.
Thronefall – King in the Castle
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…
Amanda the Adventurer 2 – Where’s Wooly?
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…
Dog Man Attack of the Fleas is a co-op race to save the city
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…
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a reset for the 25-year series
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 feels like a new genre all about the burden of leadership
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…
(Giveaway) Self-Delusion – Who are you kidding?
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…

Doors: Paradox – Before The Room, there are Doors
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…
MythMatch twists the match-3 formula into something legendary
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 —…
Shave and Stuff – Become a Hair Dresser and Tattoo Artist
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…
