I’ve only played one table-top RPG session in my life, and it didn’t go great. Despite the rude DM and a one-shot that haunts me to this day, I’m still enamoured by video games that so faithfully tap into the rulesets and world-building of the pen, the paper and the...
What would happen to the Pokémon world if all the humans disappeared? That’s what Pokémon Pokopia asks in the wake of some mysterious disaster that has left the world in ruins, the Pokémon in hiding, and not a single trainer in sight. Well, you look an awful lot like a...
I Hate This Place is based on the cult-favourite Image Comics series of the same name (with the alternative title being the slightly less marketing-friendly Fuck This Place) written by Kyle Starks. This comic features the adventures of a young lesbian couple who inherit a farmhouse, only to find that...
After a series of fantastic remakes and two games focusing on the misadventures of Ethan Winters, Resident Evil Requiem finally returns to continue Leon Kennedy’s attempts to take down the Umbrella Corporation and end its legacy. Once again, he is not alone in his task, although rather than a series...
You can tell that a medium has reached some form of maturity once things start getting meta and titles appear that draw attention to the process of being constructed and the dilemmas that are faced by their creators. Countless great modern novels and films that are as lauded as Citizen...

I play a lot of horror demos during each and every Steam Next Fest, and more often than not, games that I am unaware of make their way into my Wishlist. Crisol: Theater of Idols was a strange case that went the other way as Blumhouse’s latest game looked superb,...
The core concept of Aerial Knight’s Dropshot is utterly bonkers. You and your opponents leap from a plane, circling hundreds of miles above the ground. None of you have parachutes though, and instead you willingly freefall to your doom. As you plummet, you must shoot your fellow plummeters with your...
High on Life 2
What would come next after you’ve successfully taken down the biggest drug cartel in the galaxy, saving humanity ? Well, fame for you and your talking alien guns, some degree of fortune, your sister ending up in more trouble with aliens, and plenty more stabby bounty hunting, if the opening...
Let’s address the elephant in the room first: Tarsier Studios created two exceptional Little Nightmares games, but not the third instalment in the series, which was handed to Supermassive Games. Reanimal is, quite clearly, Tarsier’s vision for Little Nightmares 3 and a darker breed of horror.
Given the sheer range of activities that Nintendo’s moustachioed icon undertakes, it’s a surprise he bothered to complete his plumbing training at all. If he’s not battling Bowser’s army of Goombas or driving carelessly in his Kart, he’s competing in a dizzying amount of sporting endeavours. One of the most...
When a new game from Suda51 drops, you know that it’s going to both ultraviolent and uniquely weird. Even so, Romeo is a Dead Man might still surprise you with just how strange it is. This is a game where the ‘Game Over’ screen is a melting head, where Romeo’s...
