It can often be difficult to make characters feel instantly real and relatable. Sometimes it takes hours of gameplay to begin to emotionally connect with a character, so it’s always impressive when a game manages to do it in less than two. Published by Annapurna and from much of the...
It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Prince of Persia game – 14 years in fact – and it’s been even longer since we’ve had a 2D entry in the long-running series. So quite understandably, a lot of people were excited by the announcement of Prince of Persia:...
Dress-up games are a genre that goes wildly unappreciated, these days mostly being relegated to Picrews or as a small element in much bigger games. I have often jokingly called huge RPGs that include armor customisation of any sort ‘dress-up games’ because I need to find somewhere to get my...
After accomplishing the utterly daunting task of reviewing The Lord of the Rings: Gollum earlier this year, I was itching to play a game set in the universe of Middle Earth that isn’t a potential contender for the worst game of the year. The Lord of the Rings: Return to...
Fae Farm
As an enjoyer of tasks that most people consider menial and boring, I have always been a major supporter of the farming sim genre. I’m always raptly waiting for the next release in the Rune Factory or Harvest Moon series and blatantly ignoring every open-world AAA experience unless it includes...
Interesting puzzle games are always a treat, but with so many brilliant entries in the genre, it can be difficult to find a way to stand out. This means that creating a mechanic that feels fresh and interesting is nearly essential. Luckily, Viewfinder is a game that boasts one such...
Middle Earth is an incredibly interesting world to set a game in. Developers have been trying to capture the magic of Tolkien’s work in an interactive form since 1982 with The Hobbit text adventure game all the way to the present day with the announcement of a new Lord of...
Road 96: Mile 0 is a prequel following the original release of Road 96 in late 2021. The original game was essentially a road trip experience, working to travel to the border of the fictional country Petria and eventually escape. It was a game with a lot of heart and...
Terra Nil
I love resource management games. Whether they be city builders, farming sims, or even a side mechanic in a game that largely focuses on other gameplay styles. Terra Nil immediately stands out as something completely different from its contemporaries in the genre as the game operates in entirely the opposite...
So many games these days are working to tap into our nostalgia. With remake after remake, it’s always nice to see a completely new IP attempting to capture that same magic without the benefit of having an older game to lean back on. Clive ‘N’ Wrench is one such game,...
ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree was originally released by developer Wildboy Studios back in 2019 as an apple arcade exclusive. It is an interesting merge of a rhythm game and an adventure game, with a linear story and puzzles to solve throughout and a distinctive art style that captures...
Harvestella
Harvestella left a big impression on me when it was first announced during a Nintendo Direct a few months ago, even though a farming sim crossed with a JRPG isn’t necessarily a new idea with franchises like Rune Factory still releasing games. Harvestella caught my eye with its art direction,...
