LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Back in 2005, two of the world’s most gargantuan franchises combined to create a gaming phenomenon – it went on to spawn more than twenty similar titles spanning some of the most popular series in film and literature, and made more money than even Jabba the Hutt could spend in a lifetime. I’m of course…

Silt
Little captures my attention like a distinct visual style in a video game and seeing the artwork for Silt plastered around the Fireshine Games booth at W.A.S.D. seriously piqued my interest. A explorative puzzler set in the crushing depths of the ocean, Silt asks you to embody a silent protagonist with a frightening mystical ability…

Vesper: Zero Light Edition
First showing up on our radar way back at Gamescom 2021, sci-fi puzzle-platformer Vesper caught our eye with its lucid colour palette and interesting character design. Sadly, our busy schedule kept us covering the original release, but developers Cordens Interactive have been busy working on an update that dropped in mid-May 2022. Titled Vesper: Zero…

Revita
They say that practice makes perfect and this is most definitely the case when it comes to roguelike games, where the stakes are high and the margin for error small. The W.A.S.D. event turned us on to a promising upcoming entry in the genre in Revita from BenStar Games. Now fully released and racing along…

Superliminal
Rarely in life are things as clear cut as they are in videogames; the protagonists in our lives often have more murky stains on their cloaks than those we steer with a controller, and real people’s intentions are much more open to interpretation than any side-quest-giving NPC. It’s all a matter of perspective on how…

The Vagabond Emperor
The Vagabond Emperor puts you in the shoes of a character who has had enough of the state of the country and decides to be the nation’s ruler. (They might have also had a few pints when this revelation comes to them, but that’s neither here nor there.) As you set off on your journey,…

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…
