Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a perfectly fine game. For fans of the turn-based strategy genre, it’s worth adding to your library for its 10+ hours of gameplay. If you’re in it for the story or the Cthulhu universe on the other hand, you’re more likely to be disappointed. The game...
In the end though, it doesn’t really matter. This is not a game you play for its challenge; it’s one you play for its gorgeous design and beautiful but subtle storytelling. My Brother Rabbit is a fantastic hidden object point-and-click that inserts you right inside a child’s vivid imagination. It...
On normal difficulty, Joggernauts was fun for the first hour or so before it got so insanely difficult that I was starting to see red. While its difficulty is clearly the point of the game, I can’t help but wonder if it’s worth it when it quickly becomes so unplayable...
There’s no question that Super Mario Party has something for everyone to enjoy. The maps may feel a little smaller than previous titles, but they’re unique and enjoyable in their own ways. Plus, it opens up Super Mario Party for some possible map DLC in the future. Wink, wink, Nintendo! With...
Regardless, playing through Shadow of the Tomb Raider was still a really lovely experience from start to finish. The lack of innovation from the previous two instalments left me a little disappointed, but there’s still plenty to love. The game is absolutely gorgeous. I love its characters, and the settings...
Unfortunately, for players coming back to the game there’s nothing new to look forward to at the moment, but I’ll keep hoping that a version 2 may be in the works. Modding is available on PC if you’re looking for something a little different, but for Keeping Talking And Nobody...
If you’re a fan of the point-and-click genre, Unavowed should definitely be on your radar. At £11/$15, it is well worth the price – especially considering there’s multiple endings and multiple origin stories to play through. When it all comes together, Unavowed is practically flawless. In fact, no other point-and-click...
Since its release in 2016, there hasn’t been a party I’ve gone to where I haven’t suggested we dust off Overcooked. Now that Overcooked 2 is released, I can’t wait to play this version with all my friends. Players will recognise its familiar chefs and recipes, but are sure to...
Overall then, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a diamond of a game and a welcome addition to the ever growing titles available for the Nintendo Switch. The puzzles are fun and challenging as well as diverse and creative. If you’re a fan of puzzle/platformer games, then Captain Toad on Switch...
But even with its few limitations, Omensight was love at first sight for me. Urrailia and its citizens are vibrant and intriguing, begging for you to spend time with them. The combat may be slightly repetitive, but you’ll be too busy enjoying the story and saving the world to care....
The Longest Five Minutes isn’t quite all bad, though. The dialogue is written well and the music is reminiscent of old classic RPGs, but there’s simply not enough difficulty or uniqueness to keep players interested for the full duration. If you’re the most casual of gamers, then you may find the...
Tesla vs. Lovecraft is a wonderful and creative twin-stick shooter that manages to stand out from the crowd in what is something of an oversaturated genre. Despite the small reservation I have with the game’s initial difficulty level, everything else — its art style, sountrack, gameplay and overall atmosphere —...
