Swarm 2 is full-360 VR action done right
Sometimes when genres evolve it's through new features or concepts coming to them, in the case of Swarm 2 it's through new technology. Notably, Swarm 2 feels like a successor to some sort of arcade shooter or shmup. Interestingly, it might…
Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge – Create a place for Frogs!
Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge reminds me of a more fleshed out version of Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector, but with a bit more depth and meaning to it. In Kamaeru, you must bring frogs to your frogland, so that they can rest and gather some tasty…
Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance
Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance is hard. Really hard. Even on the easiest setting, which is recommended when you start up, you’ll lose a lot of missions and a lot of troops in the early going. I’m not ashamed to say that I restarted some…

Bounties of Babylon – Man-of-war or total bore?
Turns are split into tile placement and movement stages. Tiles include a path as well as a colour. The path shows you where a ship can go, and must match up to another path, meaning you can’t have a path ram into land. The colour dictates…

Zet Zillions is a cross-cosmos deck builder with great deck-building systems
There's not much that you need to know about Zet Zillions' backstory beyond the fact that you are the freshly awakened commander of a ship-planet and you've got to find humanity's new home. This isn't Battlestar Galactica though, this is…
Thunder Road: Vendetta is nostalgic fun, but don’t expect anything too cerebral
As a child, I never played the original Thunder Road, but thanks to the iconic, Mad Max inspired box art, I was always curious about it. Now, thanks to Restoration Games, a modernised version of the Jim Keifer/Milton Bradley classic is…
Bioframe Outpost combines study, experimentation and exploration into a fantastic 2D-metroidvania
Seven years on from when we saw it last, Starlit Colony is now Bioframe Outpost. It's the same compelling game, with slightly different skin in a very different time for the industry. Back when we first played Bioframe Outpost in 2017, we…

POOLS – Dip a toe
It was rare that I’d find myself going in circles in POOLS, and when I did it was really only in a small area that I could quickly progress from. Even so, I constantly felt like I didn’t know where I was going, and would find an exit by…

Fossilfuel 2 – Jurassic lark
It’s like watching a B-movie in that you know it won’t be perfect, but you’ll probably have a great time whilst you’re experiencing it. Fossilfuel 2 has its tongue so firmly pressed into its cheek that it’s popping out the side of its face.
