War Dogs: Air Combat Flight Simulator WWII — Drop Torpedos

Puzzle your way to city-planning success in Concrete Jungle
Concrete Jungle is dense and can feel like several games compressed together, but compressed in such a way that the complexity and spark of each idea is still preserved. At its core, it's a puzzle game constructed around deck-building, set…
Futuropia — The future is fairly bright
Generic looking Euro-American people are shown on the box of Friedemann Friese’s Futuropia, they dance awkwardly at an almost empty discoteque, relax on beaches and enjoy open fires with their friends. This is because they have achieved…
Slay the Spire — Build a deck and gain relics
Scale the tower and defeat the corrupted heart in card-based roguelike Slay the Spire. I am not the biggest fan of deck builders — I don’t like designing decks around strategies because I am not good at planning ahead. Slay the Spire,…

Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition — Bail on the King baby
Weighing in at just over 10GB you wont need to delete too much from your storage to accommodate Bulletstorm and, with its arcade score-like approach to FPS, it's small enough to retain a place in your catalogue as you keep coming back for…
Valeria: Card Kingdoms (with expansions) — a land of plenty
Valeria: Card Kingdoms is a one to five player game about tableau and engine building in the name of the kingdom, which is being ravaged by threats from all sides. Our review includes content from the base game, as well as the Flames and…

Gloomhaven — Gather Your Party
When it comes to modern board games there are few as iconic as Gloomhaven. Weighing in at over 10 kilos of physical mass, and boasting one of the largest boxes you could imagine, it’s also the one game that is perhaps most suited to a…
Cook To The Beat — Food-based Rhythm
Another food game, this one with some music to make it stand out. Cook To The Beat is a simplistic mobile cooking game where you are basically just chopping up a bunch of ingredients that sort of make sense to a recipe, trying to get the…

Churrascaria will make you hungry
I play a lot of food-based tabletop games. A lot of them. Never before has one of these games made my mouth water as much and made me want to recreate the food as Churrascaria has. Luckily for me, the tabletop card game has its own…

The bombs have fallen, everything is mutated to heck. But yet in Atomicrops you're strapped with a gun and a farm to tend. Bird Bath Games' Atomicrops has got more than just fruit and vegetables as collectables, objectives and currency — it…
Monster Boy & The Cursed Kingdom — Different but the same
Those first few scenes could have easily taken an hour what with me soaking in nostalgia. The level design, whilst again familiar to me, has been rendered in 4K with a great use of colour. The levels not only look great, and clean, but it’s…
