If you played the original, Monster Train 2 is more of that but with a few new twists. For the uninitiated though, your job is to complete eight fights on the way to the centre of heaven, picking up new cards and abilities between each…

In CarGo!, you and your co-op buddies are tasked with delivering goods from location to location, with a goal of selling a product for profit. Make enough profit and you’ll earn stars that will unlock more levels for more silliness. You’ll…

I first became interested in I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream about ten years or so ago when it had its first re-release on Steam (having originally been released almost thirty years ago on MS-DOS). I didn’t persevere for very long when I…

Lost and alone, you find yourself stalked by a horrifying monster that seems to link to your past. The only option is to solve the riddles within to try and find a way out alive.

When you complete a combat encounter, you’ll get to choose which path to take next, much like in Hades. Many of these will lead you to a tree which will allow you to form an alliance with one of your unlocked heroes. Each hero has a…

At a glance, this appears to be a fairly by-the-numbers shooter. It does have a neat twist in that your helicopter can pivot. Now, this isn’t the only game to do this by a long shot, but it does play into the manoeuvrability of choppers,…

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.…

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:…

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.…

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…

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…

The Fine Art of Murder works exactly as you’d expect a choice driven book to work. You’ll read a passage and sometimes be presented with a choice of what to do next. Some of these decisions have wider reaching consequences than others, but…

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:…

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!

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.

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…

Repetition is the greatest issue with Funko Fusion. Some of the puzzles make quite creative use of the game’s mechanics, but they tend to get used over and over again. The combat is the real issue though. You’ll be fighting so many enemies…

This works in the same way as Pac-Man, with you running around mazes and collecting soul shards whilst avoiding monsters rather than ghosts. The camera is much closer in, and some of the monsters have different behaviours, but at its heart…
