I’ve always been enamoured by the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the RoundTable. I blame Disney. Ever since watching the animated classic ‘Sword in the Stone’ I was a full-on überfan. King Arthur T-shirts, a Guinevere action figure, Lancelot emblazoned underwear, a plastic Excalibur with light-up glow-in-the-dark...
Of all the anime properties that could get a fighting game adaptation, Hunter x Hunter never really seemed like the most logical choice to me. While the iconic manga & anime series is technically full of fights and has a pretty prominent tournament arc, the characters, their abilities and behaviours...
The Lego franchise has tried its tiny-clawed plastic hand at nearly every video game genre going. We’ve had platformers, shoot ‘em ups, racers, co-op adventures, puzzlers, even a Super Smash Bros clone. But, rather oddly, never a party game. That’s where Lego Party comes in, offering fun, frolics and laughter...
A Nickelodeon dungeons and dragons style mash up sounds very good on paper, drawing on characters from across their many different IP to take up various roles from a tabletop fantasy RPG. That’s what Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny does that well, as Timmy from Fairly Oddparents transforms into...
Discounty is a cosy Supermarket simulator in the vein of Stardew Valley. You’ll be ordering products, stocking shelves, and then selling them to the various townsfolk of Blomkest in an effort to expand your business. Unfortunately along with that comes dealing with inattentive local government, shady local businesses, and backstabbing...
LEGO Voyagers might just be the cutest game ever. As my partner and I guided our adorable single-block Lego pieces though this co-op puzzle platformer, we emitted many a coo of ‘ooohhhh’ and ‘aaahhhh’, and thankfully it wasn’t followed by running and screaming. But is there more to Light Brick...
I’m going to be honest here, I adore the Digimon games. Both Cyber Sleuth and Hacker’s Memory were excellent games that let you push on with the story when you wanted to, or just choose to ignore it to make the most absurdly powerful Digimon your patience could manage. These...
There’s been many times where I’ve uttered the words “this is the weirdest game I’ve ever seen.” It happened when I first played Shadow of the Colossus as I rode a horse across empty plains, unbothered by enemies as I approached a giant, moving, climbing puzzle. It happened when Superliminal...

EA heard all our complaints about FC 25. I and many others lamented that last year’s game was far too similar to FC 24 and was lacking major changes, and it certainly feels like EA took note of this. EA Sports FC 26, then, comes with some changes that do...

Man, I love Supergiant Games. I’m still of the opinion that they’re one of the best developers around, and every new game has been a delight ever since their debut with the amazing Bastion. Each new game has their style and sound all over it, but has offered an entirely...
Can you ever have too much of a good thing? Ubisoft certainly don’t think so. After providing players with over one hundred hours of Shinobi-lurking-in-the-shadows action in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, they’ve returned with another 15-hours or so of DLC Samurai shenanigans. This time, Yasuke and Naoe head to the island...
