  • Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart review

    Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is the latest game from Insomniac, creators of the Marvel’s Spider-Man PlayStation exclusive, and this is another iteration on the fast-paced action and adventure games Insomniac has been producing in recent years. Whether you are new to the Ratchet & Clank series, or a seasoned veteran, this one is bound…

  • Overboard review

    Overboard is a new murder mystery game from Inkle Studios, creators of Pendragon, 80 Days, and Heaven’s Vault. I say murder mystery, but the objective of the game is not to get arrested for your husband’s murder. The remarkable thing about Overboard is that Inkle started development in 2021, and shipped it only a few…

  • Knockout City review

    Knockout City is a new multiplayer dodgeball game from Velan Studios available pretty much everywhere, and it’s a fun, action-packed game that’s a good laugh whether you are playing with randoms or with friends. In a similar fashion to recent battle royale games, you are thrown into a tutorial where you learn how to pick…

  • Strangeland review

    Strangeland is a weird and wonderful new point-and-click adventure from Wormwood Studios and Wadjet Eye Games, where you navigate a disturbing carnival, trying to solve the mystery of the golden-haired woman and figure out why you are trapped in the depths of what seems to be a living nightmare. When you start out in the…

  • Titanfall 2 review

    I’m going back to Titanfall 2 as I missed it the first time around. I’ve heard so much about the game, and its original tough release squeezed between Battlefield and Call of Duty. Since 2016 and the original release Respawn have gone from strength to strength with Apex Legends and have started bringing in Titanfall…

  • Returnal review

    Returnal is a new PlayStation 5 exclusive from Housemarque and it’s a punishing, interesting game filled with euphoric highs, jump scares, and dramatic low points too. It’s one of the best demonstrations of the PS5 to date, in particular with a fantastic audio design that is rarely experienced anywhere else. This is a game that…

  • Before Your Eyes review

    Before Your Eyes is a new narrative adventure with a difference, instead of using the mouse or a controller, you blink to control the game. The mechanic is more than just a novelty in a powerful narrative game that will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, and it’s taking a strong claim for one…

  • Tetris Effect Connected review

    Tetris Effect Connected was recently added to Xbox Game Pass and its Tetris Effect with a new multiplayer component. It’s a great addition to Game Pass, but it’s also available on Xbox and PC, plus it’s coming to other platforms in 2021. Here’s a quick reminder about Tetris Effect. It’s Tetris with a layer of…

  • Pac-Man 99 review – The Latest Classic-Royale On The Scene

    Pac-Man 99 follows in the footsteps of Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35 to create a battle royale of sorts out of a classic game. We’re all familiar with Pac-Man, eat the pellets, avoid the ghosts and if possible power-up and eat everything in sight. Pac-Man 99 is a new free-to-download game available on Nintendo…

  • Monster Hunter Rise review

    Monster Hunter Rise is the newest Monster Hunter game out now, and also the first dedicated to the Nintendo Switch from the ground up. This is the total package offering smooth onboarding for new players, depth and complexity if you want it plus potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay. There are a certain speed and…

  • Oddworld Soulstorm review

    Oddworld Soulstorm is a puzzle platformer and a return to Oddworld after a few years away. Abe’s Odyssey was a game I remember from the original PlayStation release way back in 1997, so it’s great to get back to Oddworld and check-in with Abe to see how he’s doing. I have to be honest in…

  • Genesis Noir review

    Genesis Noir isn’t like many other games. It presents a unique view on the big bang, time travel as well as love and mystery, all wrapped up in detective-noir form. This indie game constantly offers up unique gameplay mechanics and will take you on a rollercoaster of discovery, all the while looking very stylish too.…
