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.

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…

We have previously played a bunch of hidden cat games over the last few months. Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra has a bit of a twist compared to the other games. I say we, because often these types of hidden object games lend themselves best to…

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…

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…

We are always on the lookout for new games to play, in local co-op, that our eight year old will enjoy. She’s one of those kids that likes playing with others and finds video games more fun with friends. When I downloaded Crossy Road Castle…

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…

Whilst none of the trucks seem to handle differently, they’re all visually distinct. Scratch Attack has a full on cat motif and Demo Derby looks like a giant stock car. They look nicely detailed and all have their own unique special move…

The cats have found their way to Rome and have taken all the color! Hidden Cats in Rome is another game in the Hidden Cats series, which has you looking to find a bunch of cats and restore color to their world. This time the city is — you…

I hope you like dub-step and dub-step equivalent music. Every song is very intense and falls into categories that could easily be described as adjacent to that genre. They certainly fit the theme of the world around you as you’re flying…

A couple of months ago when I previewed Empire of the Ants, I was excited by several things — the amazing graphics, the focus on gamepad based control and the kind of things the game had me doing. There were reservations though — a couple…

If you solve additional, hidden puzzles, you’ll discover other tapes that reveal more about what was going on behind the scenes of the TV show you’re exploring. Reaching an end to the game isn’t too challenging, but getting an actually…

Hidden Cats is a series of games that feature cats hidden all around a city. It’s sort of like Where’s Waldo, but with hundreds of cats. In Hidden Cats in Paris, the formula is the same — there is a giant map themed around Paris, full of…

Some games are great because they live up to their epic ambitions and blow audiences away with the scale of their vision. Other games are great because they somehow capture a moment in time, a feeling or an idea — even though the execution…

It’s a new hidden object game all about cats! I feel like this recent wave of different hidden object games — largely cat based — is absolutely fantastic. Catcelona is a hidden object game where you will be finding a set number of cats…
