Gecko Gods (Steam) – Review

Sometimes, you just need a relaxing puzzle game in your life. I didn’t think I did, but I absolutely did. Something with such a calm experience that lets the trash of the day waste away from your mind and perhaps your soul. Little indie game ‘Gecko Gods’, developed by Inresin,

Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred (PC) – Review

I had extremely high expectations coming into this DLC from the developers, Blizzard Entertainment. I reviewed the original base game Diablo IV on release back in May 2023, and the first DLC, Diablo IV: Vessel Of Hatred’ at the end of 2024. Being incredibly pregnant at the moment, I felt

Skull Horde (Steam) – Review

‘Skull Horde’, developed and published by 8BitSkull, is very much my sort of game. It’s simple but challenging, basic but interesting; a combination that just works for me. This auto-fight dungeon crawler, while lacking much diverse point-to-point action, is oozing with charm and something I just can’t put my finger

Pizza Slice (Steam) – Review

Who doesn’t like pizza? Weirdos, that’s who. ‘Pizza Slice’ by developers Quest Craft and Gaming Factory have created a neat little Pizzeria simulator that is oozing with charm like the mozzarella bubbling on a fresh slice.

Dark Scrolls (Steam) – Preview

Dark Scrolls is the latest game from “Doinksoft” in the platform genre, sent to the team for a preview by publisher Devolver Digital. It takes me back to when I was young and glassy-eyed in the Commodore 64 era. Let’s jump in and see if the latest offering can generate

Manairons (Steam) – Review

‘Manairons’ from “Jandusoft and 3Cat” is a 3D action platformer game set in the Pyrenees. The description from the store page reads: “Help Nai face off against the landowner who took control of a charming village”. I haven’t spent a lot of time in this genre of game, hence I

The 9th Charnel (Steam) – Review

The Run (Steam) – Review

I have never played a game like this before, but I am so glad I did, because the closest I have ever achieved an experience like this is the ‘choose your own adventure’ books in the ‘Goosebumps’ series, and even then, they were the GOATs of entertainment. ‘The Run’, developed

Tatari (Steam) – Review

The Japanese and the genre of horror are a volatile mixture of horrifying and epic storytelling. Look at movies like ‘The Grudge’ and ‘The Ring’, or even games like ‘Silent Hill’ and ‘Fatal Frame’; they have an uncanny ability to create media that twists urban legends into a dance of
