The Callisto Protocol – That’s no moon
As a system, it’s quite elegant, and I initially quite liked the back-and-forth of a combat encounter. Hits feel weighty from both sides, and the fantastic animation lends a visceral feeling to the battle. The problem is that every fight…
Mr Lister’s Quiz Showdown is all about knowing random facts
Mr Lister’s Quiz Showdown is a trivia, party game about knowing the answers to a wide variety of different questions. Unlike other quiz games we have played, there isn’t one specific answer, and instead is a list, with a few answers being…
February is 7 Wonders Month – Find out what makes this such a classic series!

Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector – Sisters of Battle
The Sisters of Battle have already appeared in Battlesector as part of the main Blood Angels campaign, though their time in the spotlight was incredibly underwhelming, being fairly weak compared to the storyline’s main faction. Any concerns…
Castle Renovator – Lord of all I survey
Still, the actual mechanics are pretty simple. Pick up the rubbish, scrub a brush on stains, pick up bits of wood to repair holes, and fix broken tables and chairs. There’s a degree of enjoyment in this aspect of the game, as regardless of…
Krampus Kills – Killing Christmas
In Krampus Kills you’ll be avoiding the titular demon, solving light puzzles, and fighting off hordes of lesser enemies in your bid to survive the night and maybe turn over a new leaf. The problem here is that the game feels quite confused…
Wingspan: Asia is a versatile expansion and a standalone experience
Chances are, if you have arrived at this review then you sit in one of two camps. Most people, I suspect, will be well aware of Wingspan already, and will want to know whether or not they should add Wingspan: Asia to their existing…
Marvel Villainous – Infinite Power
Here’s where Marvel Villainous breaks the mold. Rather than a fully isolated domain with individual Fate Cards per player, a centralised fate deck is introduced, Marvel’s Infinity Stones make an appearance and a new Event driven mechanic is…
The Game of Life 2 brings more life to the board game
The Game of Life is one of those classic board games that I feel like every American house has in their collection. I fondly remember playing the board game with my cousins as a young child. Now, though, everything has a digital version, so…
Lego Bricktales — Building Tension

Paradise Marsh — Marsh mellows under the stars
If relaxation sim is a genre that sounds right up your alley, Paradise Marsh has you covered. From the gorgeous and unabashedly antiquated graphics to the simple, calm music that accents each one of the biomes, it’s easy to get lost in the…
John M’s Top Games of 2022 and One They Wish They Loved Less
2022 eh. Bit of a mixed year, but I dare say a modest improvement over the last few. Music and movies absolutely crushed it this year, so many quality releases for all tastes. Even the pandemic decided to take a smaller role in the year’s…

The Entropy Centre – Backwards thinking
Before going anywhere with this review, I should point out that the vast majority of this game was created by one person, and that in itself is an impressive achievement. The fact that The Entropy Centre is also a really well made product…
