Eternal Starlight — VR RTS Done Right
Graphics are good but it’s the scaling that’s most interesting. Grabbing a ship and moving your hands apart — like stretching dough — zooms in. It can either get you in on the action or be used to investigate enemy ships and show where the…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf is not the 40k Tactical Strategy game you are looking for
I like to think that reviewers such as myself keep an open mind. After all, games are very rarely made by people who don’t care about the subject matter — especially not when you’re talking about independent games that are created outside…
Ultimate ADOM — Caverns of Chaos (8.3) is a deep dive into the RPG element of roguelikes
Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos is a long-awaited sequel to ADOM, but how well does it build on the classic, dungeon-crawling roguelike formula? The original ADOM, Ancient Domains of Mystery, was released a long, long time ago. First…
Blue Fire — Precision or Punishment
It’s as if The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls shacked up and decided to create something with the exploration, wonder and scale of Hyrule but with the enemy difficulty and punishment factor of Lordran
Incarnation is a roguelite where your character becomes progressively weaker
When you hurt yourself the pain lingers, you age, things freeze up, bits don't work like they used to; things start falling off or falling out. Who'd want to be mortal? Well, at least one angel has a serious case of FOMO, and Incarnation is…
Boomerang X — Passerby Action Blues
Boomerang X is a heroes' passerby-tale of too little too late. You swing around arena style levels. Plucking the chords of a mythical instrument to upgrade your boomerang, to then slow-motion your way behind enemies to expose their…
Ender Lilies – Symphony of the Blight
First things first, this isn’t a “souls-like”. At first glance it looks like one; hopeless premise — check, mystical fantasy setting — check, massive punishing bosses — check.
Order of Battle: World War II is a deep, strategic war sim – but is it too opaque for console…
Whether on the tabletop or in digital form, I’ve always loved turn-based games. From Risk to modern miniatures games like Battle of Pelennor Fields, I enjoy everything from grand, strategic endeavours to more tactical encounters. This gives…
Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries – Cross-Play Mech Mayhem
Playing on the Xbox Series X or PC (MW5 is Cross-Buy), MW5 takes full advantage of the power on offer with full 4K Ultra High Resolution textures bringing to life the alien frontier worlds from the Inner Sphere.
Four Kings Video Poker – Slot Machine Time Killer
Four Kings Video Poker plays a variant of poker known as “Jacks or Better”. This means you need at least a pair of Jacks (or something of equal value) to win anything back from your bets.
Minute of Islands — Moments of Clarity
Minute of Islands reveals a snippet of a life far from our shores, and how their journey shapes them. Mo must save her home, no matter what.
Roguebook — Just Another Fantasy Tale
As someone who hasn’t dived into the roguelike, deck-builder fad, I was eager to see what all the fuss was about. Right off the bat, Roguebook made a good first impression on me and I was quite impressed with my first few hours. First off,…
Prison Architect: Second Chances adds new rooms, jobs and the chance for prisoners to pet dogs
About six years on and Prison Architect is still growing. The latest DLC, Second Chances, is aimed at padding out a different area than others; reform, rehabilitation and behaviour. Where other DLCs have focused on agriculture (Going…
Swarm — Alien Blasting VR Mayhem
Swarm, although single player, will have players coming back consistently with a solid arcade-like challenge that is always fun to play and difficult to put down.
It Takes Two — In Love with Couch Co-op
It Takes Two redefines what makes a couch co-op game great, with an engaging story, plenty of humor, and enough puzzle-solving to make our green tunic-wearing friend blush.
Wingspan is as relaxing as ever, but the digital interface clips its wings, slightly
During 2020, digital adaptations of my favorite board games were very welcome. With few options and brief periods during which I could play in person, proper online implementations were one of the key ways to keep board gaming alive. Things…
Stonefly — Biomes, Beats, Bots and Bugs
Stonefly was one of my most anticipated games of 2021. I couldn’t shake the meta description given by creative director Adam Volker: 'Rogue One shrunk down to FernGully written as a coming-of-age story'. In a way, this is the most concise…
Narita Boy — Cyber Warrior
There’s something to say for a game that spoofs Tron from the opening screen. Narita Boy fully embraces the ‘80s style of awesome pixel graphics.
Necromunda: Hired Gun — A Flawed Experience, but at Least You Have a Dog
I’ve begun to accept that I'll likely be reviewing Warhammer games for the rest of my career. Having now reviewed multiple entries to this IP's catalogue like Mechanicus, I feel confident calling myself the self-appointed Warhammer "expert"…
