Setting sail across the glistening seas in a picturesque and intriguing world. Windbound is certainly a game that captured imaginations in the months leading up to release. This independent, Australian developed game was being compared to The Legend of Zelda as soon as people started laying eyes on it. Whilst...
One of the most successful Early Access titles in recent memory would have to be Risk of Rain 2. The game released onto Steam Early Access alongside PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch back in March of 2019. The game quickly gained a lot of attention as a solid foundation...
Gather your gaming squad and launch into a new world of mining minerals, shooting bugs, and celebrating with a cold pint at the space bar. Deep Rock Galactic has launched out of Early Access and released in its complete form to both PC and Xbox One. The game is a...
Cyberpunk video games are certainly in vogue right now. And if you’re paying attention to the indie gaming scene you’ll also notice that package delivery games are strangely prevalent. I guess that makes Cloudpunk the trendiest kid on the playground.
Hell’s armies have once again arrived on Earth, ready to bring about death and destruction in DOOM Eternal. As the Doom Slayer, it’s your job and your job alone to crush the skulls of your demonic enemies, shower them with bullets, and cut them up into satisfying little giblets.

Darq
Developed almost entirely by a solo developer, DARQ is an unbelievably impressive puzzle game that manages to be equal parts creepy and intelligent. Using perspective to alter the game space, DARQ will have you lost in a Burton-esque nightmare where you’ll have to bend space and defy gravity in order...
Wolfenstein: Youngblood takes the now proven Wolfenstein formula and expands it into a cooperative experience. Gone is series protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz and in his place are Jess and Sophia, B.J.’s playful yet kickass twin daughters.
Sea of Solitude
Sea of Solitude’s opening moments summarise the game quite well. You’re a young adult female who is existing in a dark world, isolated from everything except your own demons. It’s a new title from the EA Originals program being developed by Jo-Mei Games, a small team from Berlin.
Mortal Kombat 11
Starting its life back in 1992, a mere month before I was born, was the now infamous Mortal Kombat series. This is a franchise that has helped define fighting games as we now know them and it still stands strong as a pillar of the genre. 27 years later and...
