Reviving its PC racing game series after more than a quarter of a century, Milestone – the developers of Ride, MotoGP, and Hot Wheels Unleashed – is really mixing things up with Screamer. Back in the 90s, Screamer served as a competitor against fledgling 3D racing games like Ridge Racer,...
Investigative horror is one of those genres that ebbs and flows in its prevalence and popularity, but it seems to be having a bit of a resurgence at the moment, with The Occultist due to be followed by Cthulhu: The Dark Abyss and The Sinking City 2. Having been relatively...
Cadence has a dream, and it’s a dream shared by many across both the real world and the world of Note. Cadence wants to be a pop star. The only problem here is the stranglehold that the establishment have on the music of this entirely music-based society. While there’s a...
Eleven years after the first game, with five other games in the series, Life is Strange: Reunion brings back the original protagonists Max and Chloe for one last adventure. The events of previous games are recapped in a rather confusing montage that involves time travel and multiple timelines before the...
Even though it began in 1999 with the release of Disciples: The Sacred Lands, I’ve somehow never even heard of the Disciples series, let alone managed to play any of the numerous entries over the many years of the franchise’s existence. So, as my mindfulness teacher likes to tell me,...
I have such a soft spot for high-octane, anime-style action games, and it’s been a sore spot to see this genre fall by the wayside in recent year. Sure, there are plenty of free to play, but heavily monetised gacha games that serve up the same sort of action-focused combat...
To be completely up front about it, I really want to like Damon and Baby, but I just don’t. The premise is cute, the world has its charms, and the gameplay has an old-school feeling which should be ticking my boxes, but instead leaves me feeling rather flat. I do...
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! 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,...
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...
Super Mario Bros. Wonder was a real return to form for 2D Mario, following the fun but increasingly underwhelming series of New Super Mario Bros. games across multiple consoles. Our original review praised the wealth of new ideas and imaginative level design but lamented the somewhat restricted multiplayer aspects. Well,...
