    Voyage

    Away from my time gaming and writing reviews, I love to tell stories. The nuances of good storytelling have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, and I’ve written about weird and wonderful characters and fantastical worlds from the time I was first able to hold a pen. As gaming has become a…

  • Meet me at NooN

    Meet me at NooN

    I’m a gamer who loves to engage his brain. Whether it’s prepping combos in tactical RPG combat or a deck builder that requires careful planning, I enjoy it when a game takes my intelligence seriously and gives me plenty to think about. I was happy then when the adorable turn-based puzzler Meet me at NooN…

  • Souldiers

    Souldiers

    We’ve always been big fans of a metroidvania here in the VGamingNews offices, and we’ve been seriously stoked about Souldiers after since we got our hands on a demo at this year’s W.A.S.D. event. The demo version showed off some beautiful pixel art graphics and some rather spiky combat, and we were keen to see…

  • Evil Dead: The Game

    Evil Dead: The Game

    Evil Dead has been terrifying stoned students, horror fans and geeks into niche references since the early 1980s. The movie, made for around 80 pence in today’s money, was an unassuming piece of work driven by three young students who set the standard for many horror tropes used today. On top of this, Sam Raimi,…

  • We Were Here Forever

    We Were Here Forever

    While it feels like a lifetime ago already, the W.A.S.D. event was an excellent opportunity for us to try out some upcoming titles and stoke some excitement at some of the stellar games just on the horizon. One that seriously caught our eye was We Were Here Forever, the fourth and newest entry to the…

    Kao The Kangaroo

    UPDATE 24 November 2022: Since our review, the team at Tate Multimedia has been hard at work introducing new bug fixes as well as paid DLC. Whilst the game has largely been fixed, we won’t re-review the game but we have taken the decision to review the DLC and new updates HERE. I make no…

    VGamingIndies: Vol 2

    Let’s talk indie games. In this edition of VGamingIndies, we take a look at Donut County and Blow and Fly.

  • Donut County

    Donut County is one of those titles that seems to always be on sale, and for relatively cheap. It was initially released in 2018; created by one-man developer Ben Esposito, who recently launched Neon White with publisher Annapurna Interactive.  It stars a pesky raccoon known as BK who has set up a shop selling tasty…

  • Blow and Fly

    Blow & Fly is the latest puzzle game from the folks at eastasiasoft. You take on the role of a blowfish who has been let out of the aquarium and is on a quest to return to the sea. This is a physics-based puzzler that requires you to move and aim the blowfish through levels…

  • Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart

    Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart

    Eight years. That’s how long it’s been since the last new entry in the Ratchet & Clank series. Outside of 2016’s PS4 remake of the first game, I have gone a whole console generation without stepping into Insomniac Games’ crazy universe where a Lombax and a tiny robot team up to save the galaxy. Insomniac…
