Battle Train (Steam) – Review

 What do you get when you mash together a rogue-lite deck-builder, customisable trains armed to the teeth with explosives, and a cartoon-style game show? You get Battle Train — an imaginative, chaotic ride that feels like Total Drama Island met Slay the Spire. Developed by Terrible Posture Games and

White Knuckle (Steam) – Review

Before I begin this review, I have to be honest with you, the reader, right now: I have a fear of heights. So, when this game crossed the MKAU table to review, there was no clue initially as to what it would be. The name sounded fun, and Dark Machine

Baby Steps (Steam Demo) – Preview

‘Baby Steps’ is an upcoming game from ‘Getting Over It’ creator Bennett Foddy, developed in collaboration with Maxi Boch and Gabe Cuzzillo of ‘Ape Out’. At first glance, it looks like another entry in the emerging “Foddian” genre—games defined by deliberately awkward movement and frustratingly precise control, named after Foddy himself.

From the twisted minds of Rougeside, Devil Jam throws players headfirst into a chaotic blend of rhythm-based action and rougelite madness.

Macabre (Steam) – Preview

Demo builds are not uncommon by today’s standards. Everywhere you look, companies offer demos, free trials, limited access, early access, and VIP passes – you name it, there’s probably an early release. But what makes Macabre different is that it is in its demo phase, but upon playing it, you’ll

Deliver At All Costs (PC) – Review

The year is 1959. The world is heavily indulging in rock and roll music, fashion is a big deal, and the looming threat of war is seemingly even bigger! In the midst of it is Mr Winston Green, a newly recruited employee of the delivery company “We Deliver”. Behind his

Frog Legs (Steam) – Review

I have a confession. I’ve never played the classic game Frogger until now…or at least in some form. Frog Legs, by Elliott Dahle, is like a twisted fever dream of Frogger, leaping through the 2D world into the third dimension. It was up to my froggy hero to go where

The Drifter (Steam) – Preview

The Drifter is a gritty, narrative-driven point-and-click adventure that plunges you into a suspenseful tale of murder, mystery and memory loss.

The Siege And The Sandfox (Steam) – Review

The Siege and the Sandfox is a beautifully crafted “stealthvania” that blends classic Metroidvania explorations with smooth, stealth mechanics reminiscent of old-school platformers. The game was developed by North Yorkshire-based developers Cardboard Sword and publisher PLAION. This title offers a fresh take on a 2D stealth action set in a

BOTSU: Ridiculous Robots (Steam) – Preview

Shroom and Gloom (Steam) – Preview

Team Lazerbeam has surprised me with Shroom and Gloom. This weird little card-based dungeon crawler ended up being way more engaging than I expected. I thought I was jumping into a quirky deck-builder with some mushrooms and spooky vibes, but it was a super thoughtful, well-crafted experience with a ton

Thanks to Devolver Digital and Pigeons at Play, MKAU was lucky to get an early sneak peek at their latest announcement, Mycopunk. A first-person co-op shooter that has launched onto Steam Early Access. If you were a fan of Deep Rock Galactic, you would have a blast on Mycopunk, as

OUTLAWED (Steam) – Review

Released on March 13th, 2025, Outlawed is a PvE or PvPvE First-Person Shooter from Okami Studio. In my research, I couldn’t find much information on Okami Studio, which, in my past experiences reviewing and learning more about the teams behind the games, is a mystery to me. Outlawed can be

TRON: Catalyst (Steam) – Preview

In the 80s, Disney’s TRON captured the vision of being dragged into a sci-fi world in a game-like world. While it probably looked cool then, it’s not as high-tech as it could’ve been. Since the original film, there have been additional films with TRON: Legacy (2010) and another movie this

Stygian: Outer Gods (Steam) – Review

Strygain Outer Gods is a survival horror developed by Misterial Gaming and published by Fulqrum Publishing, which gives a Lovecraftian vibe to the style of a Resident Evil game. This helps push those horror themes from just scary, monstrous creatures and elevates them with psychological horror. Set within the shadowed

Willow Guard (Steam) – Review

‘Willow Guard’ might wear its influences boldly on its gilded sleeves, but it is a quirky romp into monster hunting. Developed by MiTale, this single-player game with dungeon crawling and RPG elements is a surprising mishmash of genres, but in a charismatic and amusing way. You play as an anamorphic
