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…

Gameplay itself is quite simple at first glance, with depth being provided by figuring out effective card synergies. Cards have a speed, as well as an attack or defence value. Attack cards do damage, and defence ones block it as you’d…

Listeria Wars is a real time strategy game in which you must defend your body from various bacteria that are ingested by your host body. It happens that your host body is, in this case, a disgusting guy who eats burgers off the floor

You want your ball to hit a bounce pad that pops it up into a brick that earns money when hit from below before it hits an axe that splits it in two with each half collecting ingredient items to take to a frying pan to create meals that can…

Walking past the picture of a creepy woman and going up the stairs, only to return to find that same lady standing in front of the picture before she chased me caught me very much off guard. This game uses a bunch of admittedly cliched, but…

You’ll be dealing with time travel, false memories, and alternate universes throughout the seven-or-so hours it’ll take you to reach a conclusion. That isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the story. The flipping back and forth between time periods…

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…

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead has the advantage of having one of the best Astral Horror properties at its back, and in a time when horror is having a moment it couldn't have better timing. When I say Astral Horror, I mean that A Quiet Place…

Self-labelled 'autobonker game' Ballionaire is to Pachinko as Balatro is to Poker; A mutated bastardisation of a classic game that's fun to play, brimming with character and incredibly hard to put down. 'I've played Pachinko Roguelikes…

The Silent Hill influences are all over Hollowbody, from the design of the world to the fact that someone visits an abandoned town looking for a loved one. A vehicle accident as you arrive, other characters who speak in cryptic ways, and…

Saleblazers is a survival shopkeeping game created by Airstrafe Interactive, an independent game studio founded in 2019. Now of course, as you may have realised, a genre mix of survival and shopkeeping is certainly a new concept, and a bold…

When System Shock came out in 1994, I really was too young to appreciate it. At just 11 years old, I remember popping the CD into my Pentium 166 (MMX) powered Hewlett Packard PC and shortly after, I was absolutely soiling myself. Not only…

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…

Accurate title! In the world of Nobody Wants to Die, absolutely nobody wants to die. This hardboiled sci-fi noir invites you into a world where death functionally doesn’t matter — providing you can afford it. As a game, the story is the…

There's that moment that happens in movies set in alien or surreal settings where the characters settle or hide on a rock or shelf of land and it suddenly rises up and reveals itself to be a massive, often harmless, beast. The Wandering…

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…

Stephanie is equipped with an array of phantasm detection devices, from EMF readers to laser grids. By using these in conjunction with provocations, you’ll need to find and record audio and video evidence of ghostly goings-on, and piece…

I really enjoyed the single mission and operations modes. Here, you can set up parameters however you want, from objectives and map type, to squad sizes and weapon firing modes. You can then set up one or two squads to take on the mission,…

Tomba! Special Edition brings one of the most memorable games of a memorable console generation to modern platforms. Up there with Vib-Ribbon, Incredible Crisis, Bishi-Bashi Special and more, it was a game that oozed creativity and…
