Over the course of about six hours, Carrion will desensitize you to all normal human emotions and actions. This is a game that makes it so easy to slip into the squelching tentacles of its otherworldly protagonist that when you put the…

The Last Campfire is a game about rescuing lost souls on their pilgrimage, finding your own purpose and finding your way home.

As the story goes on, you’ll find that your choices make both small and large differences to the subsequent scene. Whilst you’ll still reach the finale regardless of your decisions, there are four different endings. You’re encouraged from…

There’s enough differentiation in the formula to keep genre fans occupied but quality issues may put players off repeat playthroughs despite the customisation options available to them

Little Town Hero has one of the (if not the most) complex battle systems around today. It’s not a pick up and play sort of game and many Pokemon players drawn to Game Freak’s new RPG will likely walk away due to both difficulty and…

The titular Drakes are less dragon in appearance and more vegetable (being based on Mandrake roots) and have a Tamagotchi-like dynamic to them. That's what Drake Hollow is built around.

It’s kind of known now that my time consuming media as a child was both limited and observed. I was not allowed to watch Samurai Jack — probably due to Aku looking like a demon, or the amount of violence. Samurai Jack: A Battle Through Time…

Surviving in the cradle of civilisation, or trying your very best to not screw up evolution for everyone.

As (just about) the main tabletop reviewer here, my attention is often more on paper and card than it is on digital games. When a video game chooses to root itself firmly in board game mechanics however, my interest is always piqued. Faeria…

Just as I think that there are enough arena fighting games, then someone brings a style I just can’t say no to, a theme that I just want to try, and Boomerang Fu was suddenly downloading, waiting to be played. The first thing I love about…

Rigid Force Redux plays like a traditional horizontal side-scrolling shmup and may seem like a game that you’ve already played, but it also offers a unique pod-placement system that gives a fresh face to the classic genre.

My idea of a good horror game is one that paralyses me with fear. It’s a game that is so terrifying I can’t get out of my chair to perform basic functions like visiting the toilet, or getting a drink. These are games so frightening that you…

There’s a fine line between imitation as flattery and outright copying the work of a person or group that you admire. In the case of Mortal Shell, the line is so blurred that I could hardly see it, and if you put screenshots from Mortal…

At first, things seem quiet but it doesn’t take long for you to overhear people being assaulted, murdered, and sacrificed by the family and staff. From this point, you’ll be finding keys and solving puzzles to unlock more of the hotel…

Goosebumps: Dead of Night is broken into three stages. The first has you sneaking around Stine’s home, avoiding monsters and collecting the lost pages, followed by a jaunt through a conservatory to collect potion ingredients, culminating in…

Look, I have been playing demos of Radical Rabbit Stew for absolute ages. I can get through the entire first world in so little time, beating the first boss and moving into the greater campaign in my sleep. However, now that the game is…

The real meat of the game is in the missions which are a turn-based grid affair, and are oh so enjoyable to play! Characters have a set of action points (AP), usually 100, used for moving and attacking. You’ll have your Daughters dashing…

Summer in Mara successfully imitates the dream of living in a tropical paradise, a potentially stereotypical view that the Caribbean-like way of life is one of relaxing, sun-filled days with very little worry or concern entering the fray.

I’ve always been a fan of the humble point and click adventure, but in recent years, it hasn’t felt enough to deliver the same tried-and-tested gameplay that made this genre so popular during the nineties. Beholder 2 is essentially a point…
