It has been a pretty good last few years for fans of both CRPGs and the Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition rules, with games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and now Solasta: Crown of the Magister all doing an excellent job of simulating the tabletop experience. In many ways,...
As anyone who’s even casually bumped up against the franchise knows, the world of Warhammer is almost incomprehensibly broad and deep and the Games Workshop has spawned or licensed dozens of video games based on its various properties and spinoffs. Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground is the first turn-based...
Maneater
Last year, the gaming waters turned bloody with the arrival of Maneater, the self-proclaimed shARk-PG that puts players into the role of a shark. It’s combination of engaging story, unique gameplay, and witty humour made it a beloved hit for many gamers. Even our COGconnected review gave it a solid...
A wise person once said: with age comes revision, or in the case of video games, remasters. The most successful of these – take Shadow of the Colossus for example – work because the source content remains excellent. Even years on, the loops, mechanics, and content hold their own. With...
Rust is a survival sandbox game from developer Facepunch Studios, here to bring an experiment for the average gamer. The experiment comes with one mission: survive, and it’s about as simple as a rotary phone until you try one. The open-world provides a blend of uncultivated beauty, questionable moments, and opportunities...
Whether it’s The Chronicles of Narnia, Where the Wild Things Are or Hansel and Gretel, tales of young people stumbling into or inventing an alternate reality in order to escape a troubling real world is one of the core conceits of children’s literature, and the theme certainly hasn’t been ignored...
Released in 2019 to overwhelmingly positive feedback, Manifold Garden has arrived on the PlayStation 5 to once again challenge players with its unique take on the puzzle-adventure genre. It’ll stump you in (mostly) all the right ways, but more importantly, thanks to its hypnotizing visual style, it will leave you...
The Colonists
The Colonists is a strategic settlement game with multiple campaigns, an assortment of maps, and a sandbox mode to build whatever you want at a comfortable pace. It provides a challenge to those looking for it and a relaxing experience for those who are not, rewarding the ones who complete...
Days Gone
Days Gone is finally on PC as a part of Sony sharing some of its exclusive titles like Horizon Zero Dawn. The open-world zombie survival game came out in 2019 to a lukewarm reception for a variety of issues. The question is, has its adaptation into PC fixed any of...
A good survival sim should be pretty stressful stuff. You’re alone, in a hostile environment, struggling to make it just one more day. The moment you can truly relax is the moment that game in question either wraps up or loses all its momentum. In this sense, Subnautica: Below Zero...
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion visually appears to be a cute children’s game, but one look at the title and you already know this game is serious business. Running around as a turnip on an epic quest to murder animals and commit more crimes is the only acceptable way to...
For a long time, I’ve believed that MLB The Show is the best sports franchise you can buy. No other game – arguably with the exception of the NBA 2K series – simulates the sport it’s trying to recreate better than The Show. I admit that it must be a...
