Not only did I have a fun and engrossing six hours with Monowave, but I was surprised by just how thoughtfully it builds the relationship between colour, emotion, behaviour, art, and gameplay. The development team has succeeded in making its emotions feel like more than a gimmick, with its various...
Whilst the lead of The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is Gabriele, the star is its world. With two superb locations including the nightmarish Dive which holds some challenging but approachable puzzles, this is a walking simulator well worth exploring. Lack of knowledge of the Divine Comedy shouldn’t put off the...
Marvel’s Wolverine is the best iteration of the titular clawed menace we’ve seen in nearly two decades. The story leans into the brutal violence and rage we’ve come to expect, while giving us a Logan who is more than just a harbinger of death. It isn’t a flawless game, but...
What I love about the Sucker for Love series is that while they all have differing formats of gameplay loops, they’re all getting at the same core concept: why shouldn’t I romance this Lovecraftian horror…who happens to be very cute? I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Sucker for Love: Crush...
The PowerWash Simulator 2 Star Wars DLC is available on July 16th to all platforms where PowerWash Simulator 2 is available (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch 2).
Reminding me of some of the finest boomer shooters, SPRAWL zero is a gift direct from 2001. Some of the most satisfying FPS gunplay and movement of the year, as well as an entertaining range of powers make this explosive title a blast from start to finish. Capturing the visual...
Halloween: The Game doesn’t feel like two separate games thankfully. However it does feel like so much more time went into embodying and becoming one with Michael and not the rest of the cast. There is something really great here, but there’s just a little bit more polish to come...
BioEden
I loved BioEden. BioEden is a biome and creature management game that speaks specifically to the type of gamer I am. It’s a game with the lofty goal of encouraging balance and restoration, wrapped in a very gamified way that kept me immersed. Bioeden does this with a quest-focused structure...
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition has a really strong foundation, with some fundamental issues that really can’t be fixed in a simple remaster. Framerate issues, terrible difficulty spikes and brainless AI definitely took some fun out of the sails while I was playing through...
Mortal Shell II is everything fans of the soulslike genre should be looking for. Its world is a beautifully depressing homage to a bygone era of fairy tales and medieval fantasies, while its brutal combat will have you scrambling for a moment of peace between fights. I truly believe they...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate offers a brisk, low-stakes action roguelike experience with solid combat that gets a lot out of the IP and serves as a great entry to the genre. For veterans, however, it might be a little harder to engage with, given how thin a lot...
Upon initially seeing the gameplay trailers, I won’t lie, I was skeptical. I didn’t like the change in the combat gameplay. But I get it, we’re Sophia, a badass plunderer, living with ruffians taught to fight at an early age; to survive. The game wouldn’t make much sense if it...
