I really like MOBA games. I love finding the balance between attacking the other players and heading off into the wilderness to level up or gain buffs. I like the ways players can work together to overcome things by kiting enemies along and mucking around with them, and the gradual...
After years of complete silence from the Legacy of Kain series, this month has seen it resurgent, first with a remaster of Defiance (which I sadly found pretty underwhelming), and now with a brand new title in the world of Nosgoth. Resulting from a successful Kickstarter campaign, and accompanying a...
Darwin's Paradox
Darwin’s Paradox! is a surprising game. You play as a cartoon octopus, for one, who finds itself thrust into an alien conspiracy to take over the world. Thankfully, octopi are surprisingly well-suited to infiltrating and destroying alien facilities, so that’s what you do. You stick to walls, avoid aliens, camouflage,...
Project Songbird
Sometimes you can feel the passion and love that an indie developer has poured into their game. It’s rarely a tangible thing, although art-style and narrative often play a part, and instead comes through as a sense that the game is the medium for something heartfelt and meaningful – raising...
Dragonkin: The Banished is an action RPG in the vein of Diablo, but this time there’s lots of dragons. Seriously, the dragons here are so bad and evil that their blood has corrupted the world, giving you the singular purpose to hunt them all down and defeat the Dragon Lords....
Resident Evil Village is perhaps best known for its Tall Vampire Lady, Lady Dimitrescu, who took the internet by storm back in 2021. Well, the crazy people over at Capcom have done what nobody thought possible, and crammed the tall lady into an even smaller screen: that of the Switch...
Crimson Desert
Crimson Desert does not make a good first impression. Imagine an episode of Game of Thrones, but you’ve taken a blow to the head and can’t remember much of anything. You’re hanging around with Jon, but you’ve got no idea about the Starks, no idea about the land they preside...
Marathon
It’s been almost a decade since Bungie, the acclaimed studio behind Halo and Destiny, launched its last video game. To say that a lot has changed in that time is a severe understatement, whether we’re talking about the company disentangling itself from Activision and being acquired by Sony a few...
Some time far, far in the future, the very last zombie game will be released and its developers will weep, for there will be no more conceivable worlds for undead hordes to conquer. Saber Interactive will have had a big hand in that, as World War Z and its recent...
Greedfall was an interesting and fairly distinctive RPG that, whilst it had its issues, was able to captured my imagination. From the direction of the cutscenes, through the interesting companion characters, to the surprisingly dark and well thought out world, it was gripped me from the very beginning. Greedfall: The...
Monster Hunter is a series obsessed with its starring creatures. Every moment is spent in service to immense dragons, fire-breathing dinosaurs, and giant spiders, toads and squirrels that could bring down your house. However, the mainline series brings its own sense of melancholy with it, as you repeatedly kill and...
I really wanted to love God of War: Sons of Sparta. As someone who is fascinated by Ancient Greek mythology, adores a 2D Metroidvania or two, and has played and almost finished every God of War game going – curse you Ragnarök for being so long! – the shadow drop...
