Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition is a game developed by hardcore RPG fans, for hardcore RPG fans. Originally released back in 2018 following a successful crowdfunding campaign, the game has been steadily supported by additional content. Now all of that content has been bundled up and ported to current-gen consoles as...
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition, in its current state, is broken. It doesn’t play how it’s supposed to, or even how it was originally developed. The entire game can be played alone with no fuss, but that’s not what it was designed for. Crystal Chronicles is at its most...
Content Warning: Spiritfarer, and by extension this review, deals heavily on the topic of death and the loss of loved ones. Please take care of your well-being when both reading this review, and trying out this game.
Factorio is a game that’s been culminating a lot of love ever since releasing onto Steam as an Early Access title back in 2016. It’s a game that allows players to get lost within the 2D world, always striving to push the boundaries and take their production lines to the...
Dontnod Entertainment is a bit of a golden child when it comes to game developers. Since their first game in 2013, they’ve built a reputation on in-depth characters and interesting stories. From the ambitious gameplay of Vampyr, to the strong narratives in the Life is Strange series; Dontnod’s games are...
You’ve been visited by the Dog Wizard. You are tempted, nay, compelled, to pack up your life and move to the queerest city you can find and adopt a gorgeous puppy. You will meet a bunch of dog-obsessed human hotties, and make passionate love to some of them. And you...
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...
Wasteland 3 is a party-based strategy RPG game developed by InXile Entertainment and published by Deep Silver. It’s the latest entry in the Wasteland series and takes place in the cold wastelands of Colorado. The title is released six years after its predecessor, Wasteland 2, which was successfully funded on...
I have been playing a lot of racing games lately and that is fine because, good or bad, I do like taking a new racer for a spin. Project CARS is not a series I have much experience with but when the offer is 120 track layouts and multitudes of...
No Straight Roads feels nostalgic in a way that’s hard to describe. There’s something about it that screams ‘2002 action game’. It might be the chunky character design and over the top animations, or maybe it’s the unapologetically loud colours and jaunty music that makes the game feel like a...
“Just like riding a bike” is a statement that doesn’t apply to me. I literally nearly fell off a bike after not riding for about ten years, so it’s kind of ironic that I am reviewing Descenders, a ‘Rogue style’ mountain biking game. Even more ironic is how much I...
Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate is a game made for fans. It’s based on the source material of the same name and features a world filled with wonder, magic, gods and monsters. Too bad it’s not nearly as interesting as that sentence makes...
