Cultic
Cultic is 'new-old' - for want of a better term. It takes a classic approach to the genre, including the visuals, and spices it up with rhythmic modern touches. It's no revolution, it's no evolution - it's good old fun and classic carnage, seen through the eyes and passion of...
It's not just about violent death and hatred; there's a fair bit of love-hate in there too. And if you've got a mate who likes to die? Well, you can bury yourselves together on the sofa. As I said, I like a challenge, and here I got a proper thrashing...
Invincible VS came as something of a bolt from the blue for me personally; it's surprisingly accessible, yet also offers deeper mechanics in the form of reversals, counters and strategic elements to outwit your opponent and their chosen fighters. However, certain graphical glitches have marred my gameplay, with arms and...
So where do I end up after burning rubber around the world in this edition? It's a good game - in many ways better today than it was then, with lots of content and a racing curve that anyone can handle, whether they're just starting to learn to drive or...
With programmed precision, we have a mission and there is no negotiating or reasoning with it - it feels no pity, no remorse and hardly any fear. It will never stop hunting you... Terminator 2D: No Fate has challenged my everyday life with retro-influenced gameplay and technology from a bygone...

Path Actions with Power, Wealth, and Fame is a system that turns all interactions into rewards. It's retro and modern at the same time and...
Possessor(s) offers an interesting touch on an established Metroidvania formula, but in my opinion it's best played in shorter sessions. In addition to a story that is slowly unravelled through memories and flashbacks in the main characters' shared inner lives where it's anything but black and white, a message is...
I am, of course, assuming that the bugs will be fixed in the not too distant future, and I may well have encountered a unique format-specific phenomenon, but it's also difficult to overlook this fact when playing the game ahead of its launch. I am aware of the bugs I...
Rebellion has, with Atomfall, made a kind of rebellion against modern gaming storytelling which I appreciate even if at times I felt overwhelmed by all the clues I am asked to follow up. It's familiar in many ways but with a different approach to moving you and the story forward,...
