Paladin Dream
Paladin Dream is a straight down the middle type RPG; there’s no surprising twists or turns to uncover through the short run time. The kicker is that the vast majority of what’s on screen isn’t HitherYon Games‘ work, as it’s created using RPG Maker. Granted, the programme allows devs to write their own story arc…

Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles
If anyone gave me the choice of an open-world 100 hour epic or a short puzzle game, I would choose the puzzler every time. It’s not that I don’t like sprawling epic games, but I find playing Tetris or word games utterly relaxing. I love challenging the greymatter in my noodle with problem solving and…

VGamingIndies: Vol 1
We don’t need to tell you that there are a lot of video games being released every week and a lot of games simply go under the radar. Indie games in particular are often developed by small teams, usually without a billion dollar corporation behind them and they don’t have a chance to shine. VGamingIndies…

Destiny 2 – The Witch Queen
With Destiny 2’s The Witch Queen Expansion, Bungie have brought a massive overhaul to the world of Guardians. The story will be told over the course of the next year, but out of the box there are a number of game changes, improvements and an overarching story that ripples throughout the game’s lore. New weapons…

Arise: A Simple Story – Definitive Edition
Arise initially appears to be a cute indie platformer from Barcelona based developer Piccolo. Originally released in 2019, it has recently made its debut on the Switch, where a few longer-than-expected load times aside it makes a solid fit. With some interesting time-based mechanics, you guide an old man through an edited highlight reel of…

Skabma – Snowfall
Video games really are the best thing ever. On the one hand they allow players to do things that they can’t do in real life, like double jumping or throwing fireballs. Other times, they allow you to focus on stories that tell fantastical tales about a culture that’s not really had any mainstream exposure before.…

Destiny 2
In 2007, after over a decade of working on the Halo franchise and being owned by Microsoft, developers Bungie decided it was time for a change. After completing their last Halo game in 2010, the team split from the Redmond company, becoming independent once more, and decided to leave their epic, first-person, futuristic space shooter…

Onde
I am not a religious person, or even an especially spiritual one, but I’ve often felt a deep connection to music that I feel comes close. There have been moments in my life where an album, a verse or even a single melody has struck a profound chord with me and helped shape who I…

What Lies in the Multiverse
Anyone who’s ever lost an argument by virtue of not having the quick wits to think of the perfect comeback until after the event will know all about parallel universes. They’re those places that we conjure up in the imaginations of the shower, where we level our quip at our opponent in pristine fashion and…

The Cruel King and the Great Hero
Almost everybody has a favourite childhood book. They come from a time when we’re still learning about the world and our imaginations are almost entirely unfettered by reality, and the characters and settings can make a huge impact on our development and interests. I was always partial to stories about monsters, or more specifically, dragons.…
