Shoryu Ramen x Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Set Menu – Delicious
I am such a big fan of food, and as someone who enjoys video games as well, getting themed ramen sounds like a fantastic idea! Shoryu has previously done collabs with Final Fantasy and their ramen, which I have enjoyed. Much like last time,…
Kiss the Goblin has you acting your class
If you are familiar with DnD, you might know the different alignments of characters. It’s sort of like a grid, with one side of the grid being Good, Neutral and Evil, and the other side being Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic. Characters can be…
Heretic’s Fork is a devilishly good fusion of merge, deck building and tower defence
Tower-defence deck-building has absolutely zero reason to be as good as Heretic's Fork makes it, and if you can deal with the grungy red-and-black dominated colour scheme you're almost certainly in for a treat. Heretic's Fork is doing a…
RATIFACT is a strange, unsettling puzzle game
RATIFACT is a puzzle game where you are working in a factory trying to make rat toys for other… rats, maybe?! Sort of like making doll kits, except these different rats are very much alive, until they aren’t, and you need to do a lot of set…
Hellbreach: Vegas – Putting everything on red
From a mechanical standpoint, this is very similar to Call of Duty Zombies. You start in a small environment with a basic weapon as monsters spawn in. Killing them completes the round and earns you money you can use to buy weapons and perks…
Terracotta Army has great ideas, but will it stand the test of time?
I am all for new ideas in board games — especially when they are designed and implemented to a high standard. In Terracotta Army, there are several good ideas including more than one that I’ve never seen before, but what I’m struggling to…
Pikmin 4: Pikmin Clover Patch Nintendo Switch Controller – 90s Vibes!
In the 90s, I use to really love collecting electronics with transparent casing. There is just something nostalgic about seeing into devices, and seeing how they work. The Pikmin 3: Pikmin Clover Patch Wireless Nintendo Switch Controller…
Pokemon Labyrinth – Slide around the map
Pokemon, being such a massive franchise, of course has a Labyrinth version. It just makes sense to have all of those little, iconic pocket monsters littered all around a map, waiting for you to scoop them up one-after-another. Pokemon…
SULFUR is a pulpy first-person dungeon crawler with roguelike sensibilities
A cartoony, dungeon-diving shooter, SULFUR is both unpredictable and fun in equal measures. If you turn back time several years you couldn't move for first-person, roguelike dungeon-crawlers. There were some real gems out, and by the end of…
Pinball M – Tommyknockers
Brilliantly, the table comes with a campaign of sorts, setting you challenges over multiple attempts at the machine. These amount to scoring targets within time limits, or surviving a certain amount of time on a single ball, but each one is…
Hidden Cats in London has you lighting up the town
There have been a few Hidden Cat games that have made their way to Xbox lately, with the most recent being Hidden Cats in London. You see, these types of games have you looking at a screen, trying to find hidden objects in the picture. In…
Age of Comics: The Golden Years has a unique theme and a familiar feel
Of the many things I love about board games, one of the most prominent is the stories they tell that wouldn’t normally get much of the spotlight. Whilst I am no comic book history buff, I love the theme in Age of Comics: The Golden Years…
The Best 16 Dungeon Crawlers for When You Don’t Have Time for Gloomhaven
We’ve all been there — you’ve had a hard week, Friday is here and your mates are coming over for a games night. The thing is, whilst they might be expecting to spend four hours slogging through a heavy eurogame, you’re just not feeling it.…
Jaws: No Swimming, Beach Closed makes a great 2 player game
If you are a fan of the movie Jaws and simple to pick up and play board games then Jaws: No Swimming, Beach Closed might be the perfect game for you. This board game can be played with more than two players, however only one player can be…
Assetto Corsa Competizione is simply a sublime celebration of GT racing
With its sole focus on GT Series racing, Assetto Corsa Competizione reduces the scope of the original Assetto Corsa, but delivers the kind of focus that hardcore racing fans will love, assuming that they have the skills to match their…
The Invincible centres on out of this world storytelling
The Invincible challenges you to rethink human dominion. It's a story-driven adventure set in a hard sci-fi world. Developed by Starward Industries, it challenges you to explore a barren planet and face unforeseen threats. The Invincible is…
Break The Loop hurtles heroes through time into a cartoon, run-based roguelike
Gather your adventurers and blast through time to save humanity against a deadly, abyssal monster and its minions in Break The Loop. Break The Loop places you at the wheel of a motley crew of heroes that have been sucked through time to…
Age of Wonders: Planetfall (the card game) crashes down with a bang
When I reviewed Age of Wonders: Planetfall back in 2019, I never imagined that almost five years later, I’d be reviewing a card game about it. Even more bizarrely, when I received said card game, I never expected it to be as good as it has…
Gift Guide: Must have tools for new TTRPG players
There's no better time than right now to get into the TTRPG hobby, be that through the increasingly popular D&D 5e, or any of the thousands of other RPGs out there. That said there are a few things that you'll likely need to get started…
Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa proves that higher education takes time
Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa is going to be called a lot of things in this review… It’s clever, it’s beautiful and it’s fast-paced once you teach it, but it’s also daunting and opaque to truly understand, and I’m already predicting that…
