The combination of James Bond adjacent set pieces — you have a gunfight on the back of a mid-flight plane for heaven’s sake — and stunning visuals make for a tremendously fun time during those times when it works well. Even better, is if…

Back in the day, I used to be a huge fan of the Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers series. As time went by, though, the series was effectively replaced by an ever-more-monetised model, and I don’t think that I’ve played a card…

Labelled as a murder mystery, 'Debt Repayment RPG' The Good Life is somehow even more confusing than the description given by the developers. That said, if you persevere through the onboarding and tutorials, and punch ahead through the…

The land you travel is fairly vast and 20 hours in, as a completionist, I was surprised at how vast it was in addition to the variety on offer between the various areas.

Sometimes, I am sent a game to review and everyone agrees that it might be a flight of fancy or a passing interest, rather than something to play from start to finish to hunt down every achievement. Usually, such games receive relatively…

When it comes to adorable, relaxing games I can’t seem to get enough of them lately. I enjoy spending my evenings on the couch — not having to think too much — while Dann and I play video games together. Our latest adventures took place in…

You play as Guo Chen, a Canadian private investigator in 2040s Toronto. Living in his apartment in the middle of the neon soaked city, Guo struggles to sleep due to his 18-year-old daughter Sala going missing a few days prior.…

Jett is split between limited first-person interludes and extended sections where you, in distant third person, take flight in an atmospheric jett plane to explore the flora and fauna of alien planets.

The stages themselves look gorgeous, with an art style that’s a cross between Hilda’s muted colour palette and Scribblenauts’ animations. There’s a lot of life to them, with items that just make sense to see in a national park, whether…

Despite being perhaps the most popular and arguably longest running genre of game, the humble platformer is tricky to get right. Control inputs and pacing have to be just right, and even setting the tone of a game can have a big impact on…

In each area you’ll be faced by a manifestation of the patients mental health challenges which act as a boss of sorts. You’ll run into them frequently, and only by getting to the bottom of their issues and confronting these manifestations…

Anyone that played a first-person shooter in the last ten or maybe fifteen years or so will surely have heard of Crysis. This is a game that is almost as famous for creating the meme “can It run Crysis” as it is for being an excellent…
