Shiftlings
After consuming the universe’s fizziest drink, a pair of space engineers joined by an air hose are in a spot of trouble – gassy trouble. So gassy in fact, that one spacesuit is always inflated like a balloon – providing both a convenient explanation for the game’s main mechanic and...
Atelier Shallie is the third and final instalment in the Dusk series which has taken a darker and more serious tone compared to the previous Arland series. While the more light hearted Arland series consists of Atelier Rorona, Totori, and Meruru, the Dusk series contains Atelier Ayesha, Escha and Logy,...
One of the first things that struck me was the solid and somewhat heart-wrenching story. In a nutshell, and without ruining anything, Ori is cast away from his home and raised by his “adopted” mother Naru when suddenly their home is stuck by disaster and Ori must venture out to...
Helldivers
Following their success with the Gauntlet reboot last year, Arrowhead has delivered another great 4-player co-op game in Helldivers, .

Harold
Deceived at first by the innocent art style, I expected Harold to be a bit of a walk in the park. Little did I know that Harold is not only a clever and humorous platformer, but a challenging one as well. Harold sets itself apart from most games by giving...
Long before its release, The Order: 1886 fell victim to the court of public opinion. Evidence submitted to the court was based on internet scraps, screenshots, leaked videos and 10 minute demos but it was enough for the court to play judge, jury and in some cases executioner to Ready...
Evolve
Games are all about loops – the core actions that the player takes during the game. By definition, these loops repeat as the game progresses. The key to making an enjoyable game lies in making these loops as fun as possible. While running and jumping in a Mario game is...
The newest entry of the Total War series plunges you head first into the Fall of Rome. Well, maybe a few years before, but the Fall is definitely in the midst of happening. Aptly titled, the Huns are knocking on Rome’s doorstep and the mighty Attila is looking to subjugate...
