Gears Tactics
With the recent success of Gears 5 things are starting to look up for the Gears of War franchise. It never once occurred to me before how well an XCOM style Gears of War game would work, but when it was announced I immediately knew it was the right choice....
Curious Expedition is an exploration roguelike that has you looking for fame and fortune, exploring the world for golden temples while racing against other fellow explorers. Given how I consider myself a big fan of the roguelike genre, can this one live up to its premise?
Releasing alongside the great but slightly flawed remake of Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil Resistance is a new “4 vs 1” asymmetrical multiplayer game heavily infuenced by the likes of Friday the 13th and Dead By Daylight, where four survivors have to battle through maps, traps and enemies controlled by...
Capcom have been on a bit of a role recently; bringing the Resident Evil franchise back to its roots in Resident Evil VII and the excellent RE2 Remake whilst giving the Devil May Cry fans one of the best action games we’ve seen. It’s been a great time to be...
Anyone that knows me could tell you about my love for the Ori and the Blind Forest, a fantastic metroidvania title that managed to have some of the best level design and platforming in years mixed in with a surprisingly emotional story that made anyone with a heart weep right...
Fans of tactics games like Final Fantasy Tactics, the Fire Emblem series and the recent Langrisser remakes on the Switch should be pretty familiar with what to expect from a game like this one. For the unintiated, Banner of the Maid is a turn-based tactics game that heavily borrows gameplay...
It has been over 20 years since the original Half-Life first released, a classic beloved by many in the PC community and one of the most influential shooters of all time. Ever since 2005, an ambitious fan-made recreation of the original game, with the support from Valve nonetheless, has been...
When I reviewed Darksiders Genesis last year, I gave the game a 9.0; praising the familiar elements of the game whilst attempting to try something new in the franchise. I adore the game and think it’s one of the better games of 2019, so of course I had to double...
Gylt
Stadia is a few months old now and there’s only one true exclusive under its belt. That game is Gylt from Tequilla games, the developer of Deadlight and Rime. Gylt is a stealth survival horror game and one that captured my interest early on.
Back in just September of 2019, the excellent Daemon x Machina was introduced onto the Switch. Despite its shortcomings, we found it to be an excellent mech shooter. In a big surprise, a PC port of the game was announced. But does it fix any of the issues of the...
Lightmatter
What happens when you mix Portal with “The Floor Is Lava”? You get Lightmatter; a deceptively simple but massively entertaining puzzle game where the shadows are lava and light is your only way to survive.
The Talos Principle is one of those games that will always sit in mind. Releasing four years ago on PC, it came as a huge surprise to me blending some of the best sci-fi story telling with a puzzle game that rivals the likes of Portal 2. During the last...
