Gotham Knights – Review

I think it’s safe to say, and many would agree, that the Batman: Arkham series, by Rocksteady, set the bar pretty high with its storytelling and gameplay mechanics. So when Warner Bros announced Gotham Knights, developed by WB Games Montreal, I was pretty excited to see what they had in

Fallout 76: The Pitt – Review

As we all know, Fallout 76 had a very rocky start. It felt very empty and the story wasn’t as enthralling as in previous titles. Since its release, Bethesda has listened to the community and has been slowly bringing life back into Appalachia, initially with raiders and settlers, and then

The Ascent: Cyber Heist – Review

Stepping back into the Arcology after a year off made me realise how much I missed the bloody hellscape. Created by Neon Giant, this top-down twin-stick shooter was the standout Cyber Punk-inspired world in recent memory, and its heart-thumping action has been treated to its first expansion. The Cyber Heist

Video Game Fables – Review

It’s usually the Princess who requires saving; Zelda and Princess Peach to name a few. It’s a commonly used trope where the damsel in distress needs a hero to save them. Video Game Fables, however, is a game to break the mold, where Aru is a kickass Princess who can

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Review

If ever a games developer had a name to describe their games so thoroughly, Monolith Soft has this in spades with its latest monolith of a game. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, announced at the start of 2022, has dropped just a few short months later, and it is arguably the most

Live A Live – Review

I would bet that every gamer has at least one blind spot in terms of influential games that they have either missed or just never got around to playing. Maybe, it’s several games you missed, multiple protagonists that you never got a chance to connect with. In the case of

Discover, kill, die, repeat. Like many a loop-style game before it, Loopmancer takes the core gameplay of games like Death Loop and 12 Minutes and throws them into a blender with a side-scrolling world and a few scoops of death and destruction. Developed by eBrain Studio and published by eBrain
