I've been playing platforming games for most of my life and my daughter Robin loves Dav Pilkey's Dog Man comic series. So, what could go wrong with the two of us giving Dog Man: Mission Impawsible a shot? As it turns out, not much. Dog Man:…

Much like POOLS, Liminalcore is absolutely aimed at a niche audience. If you aren’t someone who can find enjoyment in getting lost in a confusing maze only to stumble on the correct route, then this isn’t a game for you. Those that can…

The dust from Sulfur's Early Access launch (October 28th, 2024) has settled now and I've spent a little bit longer playing it since we previewed it earlier this year. Its always tricky to review a good run-based game because you always…

Dumb Ways to Die is, to me, that song that went viral years ago. I know there is some sort of mobile game, extra songs, etc, but I really just remember the catchy jingle that resulted in saying that you need to be careful around trains.…

You play as Vivian, a nerdy girl who volunteers at the school’s library. She and her rebellious wild-child friend Amy are breaking into that very library one night so they can perform a séance, something that Amy is keen to try out. Things…

Roll out the red carpet, ignore the vomit by Ms. Croft, and make sure to compliment Kratos’ outfit. It’s time for the awards!

Dagon: Complete Edition features a main story and three included DLC’s that are presented as a series of near-static scenes that the player observes, listens to and vaguely explores, all set in the world created by HP Lovecraft. I was…

The world itself feels interesting, and something that could have been lifted from The Day of the Tentacle with the slightly off-shaped buildings, brightly coloured characters, and repeated fourth wall breaks. All those characters were a…

Games are heavily weighed on the importance of having a particular mechanic or style that makes them stand out in a crowded space. Rusted Moss seems to have found its niche — for better or worse — in its grappling hook mechanic.

Gameplay itself is quite simple at first glance, with depth being provided by figuring out effective card synergies. Cards have a speed, as well as an attack or defence value. Attack cards do damage, and defence ones block it as you’d…

Listeria Wars is a real time strategy game in which you must defend your body from various bacteria that are ingested by your host body. It happens that your host body is, in this case, a disgusting guy who eats burgers off the floor

You want your ball to hit a bounce pad that pops it up into a brick that earns money when hit from below before it hits an axe that splits it in two with each half collecting ingredient items to take to a frying pan to create meals that can…

Walking past the picture of a creepy woman and going up the stairs, only to return to find that same lady standing in front of the picture before she chased me caught me very much off guard. This game uses a bunch of admittedly cliched, but…

You’ll be dealing with time travel, false memories, and alternate universes throughout the seven-or-so hours it’ll take you to reach a conclusion. That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the story. The flipping back and forth between time periods…

We have previously played a bunch of hidden cat games over the last few months. Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra has a bit of a twist compared to the other games. I say we, because often these types of hidden object games lend themselves best to…

The camera is an interesting inclusion, as it’s really the most useful piece of kit you have. This may be a side-scrolling game, but at any point you can activate your camera and take photos of anything on screen, including things that your…

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead has the advantage of having one of the best Astral Horror properties at its back, and in a time when horror is having a moment it couldn't have better timing. When I say Astral Horror, I mean that A Quiet Place…

Hexplorando is a 3D puzzle game that has you placing tiles around a map to creae beautiful worlds. In the campaign mode these worlds all are inspired by real places within Europe, giving you the ability to build a cozy, beautiful world and…

Self-labelled 'autobonker game' Ballionaire is to Pachinko as Balatro is to Poker; A mutated bastardisation of a classic game that's fun to play, brimming with character and incredibly hard to put down. 'I've played Pachinko Roguelikes…

The Silent Hill influences are all over Hollowbody, from the design of the world to the fact that someone visits an abandoned town looking for a loved one. A vehicle accident as you arrive, other characters who speak in cryptic ways, and…
