Blades of Fire
There’s no denying that a new soulslike being announced and released isn’t as exciting nowadays as it once used to be, due to how bloated the genre is nowadays. There are new ones coming out pretty much every time I wake up these days. However, Blades of Fire did pique...
Like many others, the 2018 PC port of Yakuza 0 was my introduction to the Yakuza franchise. A game I didn’t really have much in the way of expectations, and only really tried out of morbid curiosity and the amazingly dedicated fanbase. I didn’t realise just how special it was...
So far, 2025 has been one hell of a year for games. Some incredibly surprising games that we weren’t expecting became big hits, like Blue Prince, with its compelling and innovative take on the roguelike genre, Haste’s fast-paced and fluid gameplay, and Ubisoft actually (and shockingly) nailing it with Assassin’s...
For me there’s nothing quite like the smell of a new survival horror game. Especially one that goes straight for the retro feels. Case and point, today’s review subject. Post Trauma takes a lot of influence from classics in the horror genre, most noticeably the recently re-hyped Silent Hill 2,...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 feels like it came out of nowhere to me. An entirely new IP from the new studio, Sandfall Interactive, based in France, we had no idea what to expect. However, as soon as I started it, I knew we had something truly special. Clair Obscur: Expedition...
2013’s The Last of Us is a modern classic. Say what you want about it, you know it’s true. It is, without a doubt, one of gaming’s best storytelling efforts of all time, with a perfect ending. It’s an almost impossible game to follow up on, but the 2020 sequel...
As much as I love a good roguelike, it’s hard to deny the genre has become rather stale over the past few years, out of an overall lack of creative and sheer excessive amounts of titles released at a weekly basis . I didn’t expect much from Blue Prince, considering...
The combination of stealth-like action and Soulslike combat should have been a surefire way to win me over in an instant. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is one of my all-time favourite games, yet nothing has come close to replicating it since. Steel Seed, as an indie game, was never going...
Hazelight Studios is fast becoming one of my favourites out there. After the flawed but entertaining A Way Out showcased a true cooperative adventure, I was intrigued. Then It Takes Two came out and blew us all away with a touching story and exceptional cooperative gameplay. We were wondering just...
Since the 2016 release of Monster Hunter: Worlds, the Monster Hunter franchise has become an all-time favourite of mine, being welcomed into a solid community I’ve poured hundreds of hours into. From Worlds itself, to the criminally underappreciated Rise and its expansion Sunbreak. Or the charming spin-offs in Stories and...
I’ve been on a classics kick for the past couple of months. This is largely in part due to games like Dino Crisis coming back, and Nightdive’s excellent remastering of the flawed, but charming adaptation of John Carpenter’s The Thing. So it feels appropriate that Aspyr are continuing their own...
Releasing way back in 2014, DreadOut is an indie survival horror game from Indonessian studio, Digital Happiness. Releasing to a fairly mixed reception, DreadOut gained a cult following over the years and despite some issues, I found it to be a compelling horror adventure. DreadOut: Remastered Collection brings a cult...
