Maid Of Sker – Review

Picture this, it’s 1898 and you are relaxing by the fire in your Welsh cottage and you receive a letter from your girlfriend. A simple request, journey to her family’s lovely Hotel on Sker Island and bring her home. Slightly nervous as you have never met her family, you pack

Miitopia – Review

Since the release of the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo 3DS has gradually faded in both popularity and relevance. Not to say that the 3DS didn’t have a good run, it was actually one of the most successful consoles of all time. For the most part, when people think back to

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Not today, folks. Today it’s me ridin’ a god damn meteor into a planet so a corrupt ass mega-corporation can’t track me! Yee-haw! Grab your wetsuits and follow me, ’cause we are about to ride this meteor straight into

Relicta (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Originally released back in August 2020 on various platforms, published by Koch Media and developed by Mighty Polygon Relicta now makes its way to the Nintendo Switch. The first-person, physics-based puzzle game really impressed players and critics on the other platforms, with its unique, increasingly challenging gameplay and stunning visuals.

Boomerang X – Preview

Developed by Dang! And published by Devolver Digital, ‘Boomerang X’ has no planned release date on Steam, which breaks my heart because I couldn’t recommend this game enough. Boomerang X is all about small/medium/big arena fights with a boomerang that you get to toss and teleport while using a couple

Space Otter Charlie – Review

In a world of modern-day shooters, smash and grab PVP, and intense story-driven action-adventure games, the classic puzzle platformers tend to take a backseat, but rummage around behind the seats and you’ll often find some long, lost gems hidden away. Such is the game of Space Otter Charlie; a blink-and-you’ll-regret-you-missed-it

What Comes After – Review

“What Comes After” by Rolling Glory Jam and Fahmitsu, isn’t an incredibly long game but it is a game that will make you look at the world for the better, something we all definitely need in this trying time. What Comes After opens up the heart and the mind; a

3 Out of 10: Season 2 – Review

The absurd humour of ‘3 out of 10’ is back again for a second season. From Developer and publisher Terrible Posture Games, the second season brings back the hilarious and unconventional group of video game developers at Shovelworks Studios. This interactive comedy sitcom, with its five highly entertaining episodes, brings

Bladed Fury – Review

‘Bladed Fury’ published and developed by NEXT Studios (another Tencent studio might I add), is certainly not inventing the wheel but with its simplistic hack and slash qualities and manageable RPG elements is certainly a dang good time. In a feudal China, warring dynasties fight for power, and dark magic

GENSOU Skydrift – Review

Developed by illuCalab and published by Phoenixx Inc GENSOU SkyDrift is an anime-style 3D racing game. Now I am going to need you to keep an open mind even if you are a weeb, this is a decent game. When I first looked at this game I was not expecting

If you are searching for your next classically inspired, rouge-like, dungeon diver then Thorium Entertainment has you covered.

Little Nightmares II – Review

When was the last time you felt like you couldn’t escape from a dream? Even after you had awoken, the remnants of emotions you felt still influenced your mood and perception of the world. That’s how I felt once I had finished Little Nightmares 2; a flood of emotions tastefully

Skater XL – Review

Published and developed by Easy Day Studios PTY LTD, Skater XL is in a school of its own and is a solid simulator compared to Tony Hawk, or the Skate series. Upon starting, players will have a tutorial that teaches the basics of movement and how each thumbstick works to

Olija – Review

OLIJA may sound like a strange name to some, but it’s the latest game from Publishers Devolver Digital and Developers Skeleton Crew Studio and Thomas Olsson. Out now on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC, OLIJA kicks off 2021 in a good direction as this single-player platform action

Roundguard – Review

Oh my, what is this? A whacky, rogue-like, dungeon-crawling pinball machine with RPG elements? I’m not going to lie, folks, I was pretty excited to give this a go as I love a good dungeon-crawling RPG, but the pinball element both threw and intrigued me. Brought to us by Wonderbelly

Olija – Preview

From Publishers Devolver Digital, Developers Skeleton Crew Studio and Thomas Olsson comes a game that, as the saying goes, only comes once in a blue moon. Going into 2021 on a great note, this game proves that you don’t need over-the-top high-tier graphics to bring a compelling and interesting world

DungeonTop (Nintendo Switch) – Review

DungeonTop is a strategic deck-building, dungeon-crawling card game, where you adventure room by room, battling monsters and finding treasures, in the hopes to accumulate enough wealth to then expand your deck. Very simple. However, at the same time, it’s really not that simple. In fact, this game is anything BUT
