RTS-Typing fusion Touch Type Tale is a master of both genres
If there was one game which blew me away at the recent Develop: Brighton conference it was Touch Type Tale, a fantastic fusion of RTS and typing-game which excels in both genres. The typing genre is, in my opinion, at its best when it…

Gloomhaven — Gather Your Party

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…
Blair Witch — Off into the woods
There is some scope to explore, as the woods are fairly open, but the game has some tricks up its sleeve as you go on. As things progress, and the horror of the witch becomes more apparent, the forest becomes more confusing. There are…
