Earlier on this year, the world was treated to the wonderfully wacky Journey to the Savage Planet, a weird and engaging first-person metroidvania title with an incredible, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-inspired sense of humour. When our reviewer Leo tackled it back in January, he praised the game’s unique tone...
I’ve been a long time fan of Monty Python, so discovering a game that looks like one of Terry Gilliam’s animations immediately piqued my interest. Developer Joe Richardson has graced the world with The Procession to Calvary, a follow up to his well received game, Four Last Things. Admittedly, I...
Shantae is the heartwarming case of a franchise that, although debuting with a strong title, got criminally ignored due to the fact it was initially released for the Game Boy Color a year into the Game Boy Advance’s lifespan. That didn’t stop developer WayForward from believing in their belly-dancing mascot’s...
Resolutiion
Sometimes a game comes along that does things so differently, it’s a bit hard to compare to anything else. Take this new game, Resolutiion from Monolith of Minds, for instance. It has similarities to other games, like the same top down 2D view as games like Undertale and the same...
I didn’t get the chance to check Maneater out at E3 2019. Instead, my colleague Jordan had the honors and he proceeded to spend the rest of 2019, as well as the first five months of 2020, saying that Maneater was basically the most “Leo game” he had seen in...

We can all agree that the stealth announcement and eventual release of XCOM: Chimera Squad was a surprise to all of us, especially considering its budget-y, spin-off-ish nature. Chimera Squad attempts to keep the core of XCOM‘s gameplay loop alive whilst attempting to add some major changes to its formula....
I’m always a fan of established developers trying something new. Especially for strategy game teams, where it’s easy to fall into the Paradox trap where every game becomes variations of the same idea. Not only does that get monotonous for the player, but the developers get bored too. Bored developers...
Let’s just start with the spoilers and end any pretense that Predator Hunting Grounds anything more than a seven-out-of-ten type of game. But for me, it’s the best type of seven game. There was a time when a seven meant that a game was good fun instead of, what it...
I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Someday You’ll Return from CBE Software for quite a while now. I discovered it a while back when browsing through Steam looking for my next potential game to satisfy my horror craving. I kept my eye on it and was saddened when the...
Gears Tactics
With the recent success of Gears 5 things are starting to look up for the Gears of War franchise. It never once occurred to me before how well an XCOM style Gears of War game would work, but when it was announced I immediately knew it was the right choice....
Curious Expedition is an exploration roguelike that has you looking for fame and fortune, exploring the world for golden temples while racing against other fellow explorers. Given how I consider myself a big fan of the roguelike genre, can this one live up to its premise?
