Yes, Sunless Skies is a rogue-lite, and a hard one at that, but not in quite the same way as many. Your death doesn’t reset the game, rather you create a new captain, who follows your legacy by claiming some of what you’ve lost before…

You are a nameless hunter who travels from their aerial base to a variety of dinosaur infested islands with the goal of hunting the biggest dinosaurs you can find. There’s no explanation for any of this, so just have at it!

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…

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

Whether it’s zombies in DayZ, robots in Generation Zero or oversized aquatic horrors in Stranded Deep, the survival genre is well and truly thriving. With so many themes already covered, searching for inspiration must be difficult — and…

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.

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…

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 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.

The original Alex Kidd launched in the second half of the 80s and was perhaps best known because it was pre-installed on a lot of the Master System consoles. Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is an in-depth remaster of the original game,…

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,…

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…

Even though your health only regenerates to around 60%, many of the player skills such as the Trumpet or the Banner deployed by the Knight class will heal those in the vicinity allowing you to dive right back in at full health

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.

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 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…

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.

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"…

If you are looking for a goofy, easy to put on and play game with funny lines, colorful characters and some interesting levels, you’ll be pleased with Rain on Your Parade. In this game, you play as a storm cloud, who is out to ruin people’s…

King of Seas, a pirate simulator from the team over at 3DClouds and published by Team 17, returns players to a past littered with looting, dramatic sea battles, shanties and trading with a healthy measure of humour and its own unique take…
