    PlateUp!

    Find out if restaurant management roguelike PlateUp! gives Joe & Drew celebration cake vibes, or if it has them swearing like Gordon Ramsey!

    Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

    As a long time Studio Ghibli fan, Drew was keen to finally get anime JRPG Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch off his backlog

    Enshrouded

    Amidst the current climate of national turmoil and financial woes, it can feel at times like we’re living in our own brand of survival game, where the only safe place is our home, away from… people. Jumping into the survival genre has titles that come with its own unique styles and construction mechanics, with personal…

  • Isles of Sea and Sky

    Isles of Sea and Sky

    The preview blew Drew away last year – so what did he think of the final version of retro-styled tropical puzzler, Isles of Sea and Sky?

  • Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

    If I were to present to you an image of the grey, concrete brick-looking relic from the 90’s that is the Playstation One console, and was to ask “name the first games that pop into your head?”  What are you going to say?  Crash Bandicoot, maybe? Metal Gear Solid? Resident Evil 2, perhaps? For me…

  • Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic

    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic

    Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic  is the second instalment in the series brought to us by Rougeside. The game is very much an interactive gameplay version of a Where’s Wally? book and one that we looked to review from the viewpoint of my daughter who was aged 5 at the time of playing.…

    Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons

    What do Hoover, Coke and Picross all have in common? They’re all brand names that are thrown about instead of the real names. Why is this relevant you ask? Well, that’s because I didn’t know that ‘Picross’ was a brand name owned by Nintendo until Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons downloaded onto my Nintendo Switch…

  • Inkulinati

    Inkulinati

    When I think of Monty Python, the first thing that pops into my head isn’t one of Eric Idol’s ditties or John Cleese’s sarcastic punchlines, but Terry Gilliam’s amazing artwork. While I got a kick out of skits like the fish slapping, coconut clacking and “Jesus, Sir”, it was the offbeat artwork that made me…

  • OTXO

    OTXO

    OTXO is a top-down shooter that’s SERIOUSLY quick. Boasting a cool blood-soaked monochrome look – can the gameplay keep up with the visuals?

  • Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1

    Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1

    Two weeks ago I’d never played a Metal Gear game in my life, and that’s despite my wife badgering me on and off for over a decade to give it a chance. My excuses ranged from “I’ll add it to the backlog” to “my PlayStation is packed away,” so the timing was never quite right.…
