In 2022, Kirby and the Forgotten Land wasn’t a platformer; it was a statement. It showed that Kirby could not only exist in a 3D world but also flourish with a bright, beautiful adventure and was, in all likelihood, an instant classic. Now, thanks to the release of the Nintendo
‘Gaucho and the Grassland’ instantly sets itself apart from the typical cozy sim. Instead of leaning on the usual medieval fantasy or the retro-pixel farm settings that Sim lovers are used to, it takes players into the world of the Gaucho; cowboys of the South American pampas. Developed by Epopeia

I was only a year old in 1994 and two in 1995, so I missed the little title by the name of ‘DOOM’ when it first entered the scene. A few years later, though, I finally got my hands on id Software’s classic, courtesy of my Dad’s PC, and was

Back in early 2023, Wild Hearts was released with bold ambitions: a direct rival to Monster Hunter, built around elemental monsters, feudal Japan-inspired biomes, and a unique, gadget-driven combat system known as “Karakuri.” MKAU’s PS5 review at the time praised its creative mechanics and the visual scale of its Kemono
Dear god, I love me some Survival games. What I want to love more are pirate games, but lately I’ve been let down by them. Not mentioning any names, but pirate games generally don’t live up to the likes of great television media such as ‘Black Sails’, ‘Pirates of the
I recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with ‘Killer Inn’, a new social deduction game developed by Tactic Studios and published by Square Enix. Even though this meant setting a few alarms and waking up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am, I was keen to get my first
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is what Leenzee Games and publisher 505 Games describe as a “hardcore action RPG/Souls-like. I was curious to see this fantasy version of late Ming Dynasty China. While it’s an interesting setting, I’m still not entirely on board with Wuchang’s mythical journey and whether it stands apart
It’s been more than a decade since I used to enjoy watching YouTubers freak out while playing ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent’, a game that revolutionised the horror genre for many people, including myself. Then, in 2015, Frictional Games released their next game, ‘Soma’, one I sadly never got around
For years, Donkey Kong has lived in the shadow of his platforming peers, occasionally leaping into the spotlight but never quite holding it. That changes now. With Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo has created something bold, beautiful, and bananas in the best way possible. This isn’t just DK’s return to 3D,
There’s something that continuously draws us back to old/retro games. Is it nostalgia? Is it wanting to relive the memories? Did we love the storyline? Maybe the somewhat now dated graphics and the soundtrack kept our blood pumping as we eagerly awaited the next boss battle or the revealing of

When Death Stranding was released in 2019, it received a mixed reaction from the gaming industry and fans alike. Years later, some have come around on the game labelled as a “walking simulator” by harsh critics, while others remain unchanged. I was a firm believer from the very start. However,
