Gang Beasts (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Created by Boneloaf, a UK studio started by three brothers, and published by Double Fine, this epic indie fighter is now available on the Nintendo Switch. ‘Gang Beasts’ is not the most technical fighter on the market; it features a bunch of gelatinous faceless characters that can be dressed up

Dolmen (Hands-On) – Preview

Developed by Massive Work Studio and published by Prime Matter, ‘Dolmen’ advertises itself as an action RPG combining futuristic Sci-Fi and cosmic horror elements. Over the years, I played a lot of Dead Space, I dabbled in some Warframe, and I spent hours running around the Talos I in Prey.

Death’s Door (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Earlier this year, the small yet incredibly talented team from Acid Nerve released a wonderfully weird game named Death’s Door. With backing from Devolver Digital as their publisher, it was in very good hands from the beginning, and now Nintendo Switch owners get a chance to play this top-down, action-adventure

Chorus – Review

Flying a spaceship has always been a cool idea for a video game and yet, it’s such a small market of games. Don’t get me wrong, the game pool may be shallow for recent titles to pick from, but the fan base for this genre is very strong and quite

Halo Infinite (Campaign) – Review

It’s been quite an interesting series of events for Halo Infinite. First with its rocky reveal which in turn saw a year delay, to 343 releasing the Free-to-play multiplayer portion almost a good month early. Now, this week we all get to finally dig in and check out what 343

Nerf Legends – Review

For my entire childhood, Nerf guns were a staple in fuelling my imagination of a wild shoot-out in my backyard or living room. Whether I was trying to emulate Rambo with a giant machinegun-style Nerf blaster as a kid, or John Wick with a Nerf pistol as an adult, the

Grow: Song Of The Evertree – Review

With so many high-octane and fast-paced shooters releasing in a short window of time, it’s nice to know that there are games that are happy to slow things down. Developed by Prideful Sloth and published by 505 Games, a new relaxing world builder has entered the chat, and that game

The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf – Review

The Smurfs are iconic. Originating in Belgian, this 1958 comic rose in fame through the decades. When I was first introduced to The Smurfs though was in the 80s when it was made famous and even more popular by Hanna-Barbera Studios in the form of a cartoon series, these little

Beyond Blue (Nintendo Switch) – Review

The ocean is vast, scary, and full of mystery and wonder. I have been obsessed with animals since a small one and the thought of creatures living in one of my biggest fears; deep water always fascinated me. ‘Beyond Blue’ developed by E-Line Media is a stunning, single-player, narrative journey

Bright Memory: Infinite – Review

Futuristic shooters are usually not my thing. Science Fiction/Futuristic shooters are great, but when developers try to mash jump packs and laser weapons into modern settings, that’s where I draw the line. I prefer modern and historic shooters with boots of the ground gameplay, or if it is a science

Horror Story: Hallowseed – Review

Horror stories date back to the 1700s, and with the power of modern technology, gaming developers are able to take inspiration and visualize their own stories to scare the bejeezus out of the player. ‘Horror Story: Hallowseed’ is just that, created by one person, Jeff Winner, and he may have

Echo Generation – Review

Have you ever had a dream that starts off distant, yet familiar, and the longer you stay in the dream the more it unravels and the more twisted it becomes? Yeah, me neither. Well, maybe once or twice… this month. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is the

Weird West – Hands-On Preview

Back in August, I was treated to a hands-off event held by WolfEye Studios for their upcoming game, Weird West. Based on what I saw that day, I have never been more excited for a twin-stick shooter in my life. They promised a lot of different things, many of which

Riders Republic – Review

As a gamer, the thought of going outside is a strange and foreign concept but thanks to Ubisoft, we get to digitally head to the mountains for some extreme sports. The world is your oyster with access to mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, rocket wings and glide suits set across geographically

Jackbox Party Pack 8 – Review

Party games are a great time for everyone involved, directly challenging your friends for those oh-so glorious bragging rights, much like Mario party, Among Us, any board game, and all other party games, they are a lot more exciting when playing with friends and people you are comfortable with showing
