The runaway success of Among Us last year proved that people love a good social deduction experience. The unique online take on the classic party game Werewolf works so well because of the ability to share your thoughts on who is lying, try to decipher who the imposters are and...
Coming into The Medium, developer Bloober Team has a lot to prove. They’ve been refining their horror craft over the last few years, with titles such as Layers of Fear, Observer and Blair Witch delivering on their own brand of psychological horror that constantly reminded us in those worlds that...
What’s in a name? It’s not very often that we see an announced title go through an identity crisis, but that’s what happened earlier this year when the previously announced Ubisoft title Gods & Monsters was re-revealed as the newly titled Immortals Fenyx Rising. Like many, I scoffed initially at...
New genres in video games are rare, but in 2009, Demon’s Souls on PlayStation 3 managed to make that happen, bringing a new style of hardcore action RPG that presented a captivating challenge, where skill is paramount and learning from your mistakes is absolutely essential. We’d seen difficult games before,...
Another year, another Call of Duty, but in 2020 it feels a little bit different. The reboot of Modern Warfare last year was a big success for the franchise, and the inclusion of the now-free Warzone battle royale mode has meant that Call of Duty as a whole has found...
New console generations are always exciting, and Godfall as a launch title is certainly an appealing prospect. An action-packed hack-and-slash combat-focused looter that looks completely stunning is appetising for sure, and I was one of many who were hooked in by the pretty gameplay footage, hoping for a strong experience...
Looting dungeons is one of my favourite pastimes, and Torchlight as a franchise has always provided a healthy dose of colourful dungeon crawling with piles and piles of gear to be collected. Back in 2009, Torchlight was a success story because it was well made, incredibly simple and very satisfying....
Nintendo aren’t new to combining real-world elements and toys with their games. LABO allowed gamers to piece together cardboard creations to pair with the Switch, for example, but the one thing LABO possibly lacked was its direct connection to nostalgia and simplicity. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is the next...
Horror has become a more crowded and popular genre in recent years, with big budget franchises like Resident Evil and The Evil Within along with many others proving that people love to be spooked. Re:Turn – One Way Trip comes from an indie studio who intend to frighten you with...
Let me start with a big, sweeping statement: art of rally is one of the prettiest racing games I’ve ever seen. Considering racing games in general tend to go with a more realistic art-style like Gran Turismo or Forza, it’s always refreshing to see a different take on what a...
The original Tennis World Tour was unimpressive to say the least. Developed by Breakpoint, it simply didn’t feel like a great reflection of the sport, and so publisher Nacon changed to a different developer earlier this year, in the Aussie team Big Ant, to help steady the ship. This is...
HB Studios created, in my opinion, some of the best golf video games in recent memory. Their take on the virtual fairway with The Golf Club series showed an understanding and love for the sport that took it beyond just a tie-in. With no specific “name” attached to the title...
