Generation Zero
Generation Zero takes place in a reimagining of 1980’s Sweden. You play as a teenager returning from vacation to find a completely deserted town, devoid of all human life. Something has taken place and you’re not quite sure what that something is.
Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice is following a legacy of phenomenal hardcore action RPGs from developer FromSoftware. This is a studio that has well and truly found their niche. They’re managing to not only impress gamers time and time again with every new release, but they’ve also single-handedly invented a new...
Anthem
After releasing Mass Effect: Andromeda back in 2017 it became clear that BioWare had lost a little bit of what made them special. They lost some faith in their dedicated fans and were in a position where they needed to prove who they were as a studio again. In walks...
Metro Exodus
Very few game franchises have been able to match the kind of grim and dark tones found in the Metro series. This is a series of game that, unlike any other I’ve played, is able to evoke lasting feelings of misery and dread. It’s certainly a bleak world out there...
Slay the Spire
I’m a huge fan of collectable card games, but even I’ll admit the genre begun to feel a bit formulaic. These strategy games typically had their own unique features to separate themselves from one another, but when you drilled down to the core, it’s hard not to see the overwhelming...
Fallout 76
Bethesda for the longest time have been renowned for their single-player, vast open worlds. Other developers have previously helped them expand those worlds into a multiplayer space, such as Zenimax Studios with The Elder Scrolls Online.

Dark Souls: Remastered
Remakes and remasters are the perfect opportunity to play on our nostalgia. To make us yearn for games from our past that fill us with the same kind of childlike wonder and glee that we felt when we originally experienced these titles. Although this is not a good description for...
FAR: Lone Sails
A lonely and desperate journey through a beautifully bleak world. FAR: Lone Sails has you set sail across vast open lands on a ship that constantly requires attention and management. Are you able to defy all odds and pilot your vehicle solo to the very end?
City of Brass
Set in a gorgeous Arabian Nights inspired world, City of Brass is a whip-cracking roguelike that has recently released onto PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Made by developers who had formerly worked on the Bioshock series, the game and its eye-catching aesthetic immediately stood out when we played it at...
Murderous Pursuits
Aboard a fancy Victorian ship you socialise, drink, entertain, mingle with the crowd, and secretly murder your target without exposing yourself. It’s Murderous Pursuits, a kill or be killed experience where only 1 player can be the ultimate secret assassin.
Q.U.B.E. 2
First-person puzzle games have always been an odd favourite of mine. It’s not a very dense genre of games although it is a genre that forces you to think in a slightly different way. These games demand that you have the spacial awareness skills to be able to take in...
