Blood Bowl 3 is quite Literally Fantasy Football
I've learned to temper my expectations when it comes to new releases with Games Workshop IPs. Having now played and reviewed multiple Warhammer titles, I often find their releases to range from slightly underwhelming to buggy and near…
Aeterna Noctis — The Eternal Cycle
Aeterna Noctis sees the Queen of Light and the King of Darkness in an eternal strife for power over Aeterna.
Go on slightly sketchy adventures in The Big Con
It’s the 90s again, with video stores, no modern cell phones, and with massive debt sharks about to take control of your mom’s store. She's planning on sending you to bandcamp, in the hopes that you will become whatever she isn’t. Yeah, The…
Spire of Sorcery: overcomplicated, but interesting
We got our hands on Spire of Sorcery, a turned-based-strategy game in Early Access on Steam. It has a little way to go, but shows promise if you like a lot of complexity to sink your teeth into.
Mechajammer is a grungy RPG breaking new ground in the past’s future
Grungy cyberpunk, espionage and patience combine together in Mechajammer, the next title from Serpent in the Staglands developer Whalenought Studios. Mechajammer is a lot of things, and while, at its core, it's an open-world game set in the…
Starsand — Hardcore survival turns up the heat in an unforgiving environment
Take on the elements in a first-person survival game set in a brutal, alien desert.
Dream Cycle — A Dive into Magic & Dreams
In Dream Cycle, step into the shoes of Morgan, an arcane apprentice who is caught up in her uncle's schemes within the Dreamlands.
Demon Turf — Jump, Claim, Repeat
The main draw for me with Demon Turf is its obvious blend of 3D platformer with 2D visuals. Beebz is the main protagonist who set out to conquer different turf in order to become queen demon — but, there’s plenty for fans of the platforming…
Blooming Business: Casino sees you managing a cute animal casino!
What better to attract to your business establishment than cute and adorable little animals as staff? In Blooming Business: Casino, you are creating an attractive and fun casino for a bunch of animal friends, looking to spend their hard…
Sprocket — The Sandbox Tank Simulator
The popularity of MMO-wargames such as World of Tanks and War Thunder has raised interest in military history since the 2010s. Both games still enjoy substantial popularity, but their niche is still very much underserved even now. This is…
World Box is a high fantasy, chaos simulator sandbox
Want to drop nukes on elves, or level a volcano with a meteorite? World Box has you covered. Titled on Steam as a God Simulator, World Box exists in an interesting space. You can play an active role in your planet's human life, tweaking…

We took a look at The Emperor’s Own’s teaser
Prepare for things to get spooky in The Emperor's Own, a story-driven adventure game set in an alternate-19th-century Russian Empire.
Warhammer 40k: Battlesector is a bit of a (Dread)snore
I've been lucky enough to play a few Warhammer games in recent years and the use of the IP often seems quite hit or miss. Some games like Total War: Warhammer are stellar uses for this IP, whilst others like Necromunda are underwhelming, to…
Everspace 2 (Early Access) — Ready to Take Flight
Having played the demo last year, I was excited to see more of what Developers Rockfish had to offer with their space shooter darling. Whilst their first outing had a focus on roguelike elements, Everspace 2 swaps this out for an open…
Hidden Deep — Deep sea mining, early impressions
Hidden Deep takes place in a remote, submerged, deep sea mining rig with the title screen depicting a small submarine transiting your crew to the facility. The eerie silence of the rig is pretty apparent and visually the style reminds me of…

AnShi is a wild game about an alien who rides its hoverboard through vast, exotic landscapes in order to activate memories from its ancestors’ past.
Medieval Dynasty — Beautiful game, but needs more.
Create a lasting legacy in Medieval Dynasty, where the consequences of choice you make fall squarely on your descendants' shoulders.
Fights in Tight Spaces — Game Preview
Here’s where the clever part comes in. Your opponents will attack so long as there is a target in their attack range, regardless of who it is. You can use your attack and movement cards to damage opponents and get yourself to safety, but…
Due Process (Early Access) isn’t geared up just yet
Whilst trying hard to stand out from the crowd, Due Process doesn’t quite do enough (at release) to really show off what a great game it could be. Whether it’s the visuals with its mixture of pixel art and 3D models or its unique features…
