Mythology & folklore, times of magical beasts, and Gods among men. Dark times and unknown forces are tainting the villages around Midgard. The Nordic Gods no longer wander the Midgard Plains. With no Gods left or Odin’s guardians remaining in Midgard, the protection of the Elder Tree has dissipated. It

Dread Templar – Review

All first person shooter players know and love ‘Doom’, well I know I do. So, a game that follows a similar playstyle, and even some of the retro art style a lot of us began playing with made me very keen to jump into this one. Developed by T19 Games,

Children Of Silentown (PC) – Review

A quiet little village with a sinister curse looming over it. This is where Elf Games Works and Luna2s’ newest title, Children of Silentown begins. A point-and-click game that twists the typical notions of a traditionally casual gameplay style and turns it creepy. The game borrows a storytelling style like

HEROish (Nintendo Switch) – Review

When I first started playing HEROish, I immediately thought ‘this is a single-player MOBA game’, but it is much more than that. HEROish also has aspects of tower defense and deckbuilding. This is the debut title for developers and publishers Sunblink and it’s a great game to debut with. Starting

Hubris – Review

VR games are always so much fun to dive into, even if some make me nauseous, but that’s something I will get used to with time. Hubris is the latest VR game I’ve checked out and was excited to jump into. Developed by Cyborn B.V., Hubris is a large-scale VR

Homeseek – Preview

Homeseek is a post-apocalyptic survival strategy game created by Traptics and published by The Iterative Collective. I first saw this game in action at PAXAUS 22, but now, it has a demo available on Steam for everyone to try out. In Homeseek, the world has been destroyed by overpopulation, exploitation

It’s the 2022 Football/Soccer WorldCup, and together with New Star Games, FiveAces Publishing has graced us with Retro Goal, originally released in June 2021 for mobile devices. After its success in the mobile market, they have ported it over to the handheld gaming device we all know as the Nintendo

Pokémon Violet – Review

It’s Christmas for Pokémon fans all over. This year we have had not one, but two Pokémon game releases. This is unheard of. Usually, one generation is released, and then in 1-3 years, a new one will come out, but not in 2022, baby! 10 months after Pokémon Legends Arceus

McPixel 3 – Review

McPixel 3 is a pixelated puzzle solver game where the answers are never straightforward and most of the time ridiculous. Similar to its prequel, it’s equipped with a hundred timed stages, with microgames and a plethora of quirky gags and silly solutions. Developed by Mikołaj ‘Sos Sosowski’ Kamiński and produced

RandoMine – Preview

The heroes of this story are about to be made Demigods! How else would you celebrate by having a massive night on the ales at the local tavern? Unfortunately, these soon-to-be Demigods drink the tavern out of all available liquor. A rumor goes around that the innkeeper has some super-secret

Harvestella (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Eat up to beat up is the essence of the new Nintendo Switch title, Harvestella, from veteran JRPG publisher, Square Enix. The fusion of action RPG and the farm sim trend seems like a promising concept, but there’s definitely room to grow, as was my experience with Harvestella. Your character

Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PC) – Review

Sackboy: A Big Adventure has finally arrived on PC! The port of the 2020 released PlayStation title comes with new graphical upgrades, the same great content, and additional in-game goodies. Sumo Digital’s spin-off based on Media Molecule’s Little Big Planet takes worlds from a 2.5D platformer to 3D, and many

Bayonetta 3 – Review

Bayonetta is an icon and seductress amongst both men and women gamers. A symbol that power can be beauty; a beauty that doesn’t need a male companion to lead the narrative. ‘Bayonetta 3,’ by PlatinumGames, is the third illustrious addition to the cult classic and muchly loved Bayonetta franchise.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Will Never Die! – Review

Rock ’n’ Roll will definitely never die. Maybe it’ll be a little forgotten or under-appreciated, but it will certainly never die nonetheless. Reminiscent of how today’s society might see the likes of Ozzie Osbourne or even Mick Jagger, the rebirth of Rock ‘n’ Roll might be upon us with the
