I am many things, but a horror game enjoyer is not normally one of them. So imagine my utter surprise when I decided to take the reins of Little Light House of Horror, a… horror… game. To then actually enjoy it? Unthinkable. At least, I…

Whilst I’ve heard a lot about them, I don’t believe I’ve ever tried an auto-battler before. Normally scrolling from side to side, these games task players with character balance and party composition prior to battle whilst the AI takes care…

Gameplay is somewhat like the more recent Ballionaire, with you getting a set number of spins in which to reach your target. After each spin, you get to add a new symbol to your reels so that you have a greater chance of winning big money.…

There are some tabletop games that have very unique meeples; The little characters that players play as. Often, these are just a unique artstyle, but in Intergalactic Plumber, they are actually created to be a large part of the game. These…

It's been 22 years since The Thing released for PS2 & Xbox, which is actually longer than the time between the launch of the game and the movie that its story was based on: John Carpenter's The Thing. When I heard that The Thing:…

Existing at the incredibly bizarre cross-section between real time strategy and typing games, Touch Type Tale is a beautifully drawn, often frantic experience that's both novel and fun. I last wrote about Touch Type Tale in 2019 after…

The spooky scenes are a mixed bag. Some of them are some basic flickering lights or some blood trickling from the ceiling, which are fine, if generic. The interesting ones were when seemingly live-action footage was placed into the action.…

Kayak VR: Mirage set out to do one thing, and it did it well: create a realistic kayak experience in VR, but it ended up delivering so much more in the process.

As someone who grew up playing a LOT of tower defence/base defence flash games on school computers, you could say that I have somewhat of an affinity for the genre. Be it rose-tinted nostalgia or the fact that I poured hours upon hours into…

This sequel is structured in a similar way to the first game, with you needing to solve puzzles to find tapes that then progress the story and lead to more puzzles. Here though, the puzzles are harder, but also clearer that you need to…

Despite the lunar calendar saying otherwise, it would appear to be the year of the Dog Man, with this being the second (of three) Dog Man board games that we'll have reviewed so far this year. Unlike Dog Man Flip-o-Rama there's a little bit…

Seven years on from the previous mainline entry, Dynasty Warriors: Origins' developers have opted for a few major changes to the series, hoping to revitalise the series after a period of increasingly prevalent "sense of déjà vu and…

Lena’s night in the cabin is split into hour-long segments, with each hour introducing a new monster. The monsters themselves are based on Slavic folklore, which is something I found enjoyable. Each creature features the tale that it’s…

We have now played a large number of hidden object games, and most recently those have primarily had a cat theme. But, would you believe there are more being released? Meow Moments: Celebrating Renewal & Romance is part of a new series…

Wine making Virtuoso? Lord of the grapes? Crushing it at the vineyard? Viticulture World is the new cooperative expansion for worker placement classic Viticulture from Stonemaier Games that challenges you to synchronise your efforts with…

Much more enjoyable were the puzzles. Each level presents you with a door floating in space. Your job is to find a way to open the door and move on. This should be simple enough, but every door has various points of interest around it, from…

I feel like VR is a perfect place for roleplaying games, as you can really get into the pretend and playing around in that job. Shave and Stuff is a game all about doing hair, and eventually tattoos, for individual customers. Each time…
