Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising review
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an interesting game. This is very much a prelude to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes coming next year, but Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising offers up some entertaining fun. It switches things up with the combat, rather than classic JPRG turn-based combat you have real-time action. It may offer up some differences from the…

Loot River review
Loot River has the best trailer I’ve seen in games for a long time. The combination of action and classic music, mixed with a little humour was absolutely perfect. This is a roguelite, with a hint of Souls. It’s a top-down pixel art, which is an interesting mix of action, adventure and Tetris-like gameplay. Loot…

Ghost on the Shore review
Ghost on the Shore had been on my radar for some time. This is a first-person, narrative adventure game, feeling unique given you can explore the world through the eyes of the main character Riley. It’s a deep story analysing life and death, plus there’s a decent mystery to solve too. We see the game…

Rogue Legacy 2 review
Rogue Legacy 2 has arrived having spent a good while in early access. The original Rogue Legacy was a really fun time, so the sequel had a lot to live up to. I am happy to report that Rogue Legacy 2 is a worthy sequel, a decent roguelike among a crowded field, one that benefitted…

Trek To Yomi review
Trek To Yomi is a long-awaited indie game homage to samurai movies in side-scrolling form. Visually the game is stunning, and the story certainly has its moments, however, the combat and exploration is lacklustre and overly simple, which unfortunately doesn’t manage to retain my attention for long periods of time. While the gameplay doesn’t quite…

What started out as something quite niche on Nintendo Wii in 2010 has grown into a major franchise for Nintendo, and you can check out where it all began on Nintendo Switch with Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive…

We’ll Always Have Paris review
We’ll Always Have Paris is a narrative game about dementia. It’s relatively short but it does pack an emotional punch, especially if you are close to someone who has suffered from dementia and understand the impact on the individual, but also family and loved ones that surround them. The game is about Simon Smith and…

Nintendo Switch Sports review
Nintendo Switch Sports has arrived and if it’s half as successful as 2006’s Wii Sports, then Nintendo will have a major hit on their hands. The Nintendo Switch has recently surpassed the Wii in sales, both selling in excess of 100 million units, so Nintendo Switch Sports has the potential to be huge… but can…

Primordia review
Primordia has come to Nintendo Switch and if you’re a fan of classic point-and-click adventure games then this one is worth checking out from the expert teams of Wormwood Studios and Wadjet Eye Games. Humans are long gone and robots now rule the roost. Horatio Nullbuilt, our main character and focus, spends his time reading…

Norco is a point-and-click adventure game with beautiful pixel art and incredible writing. It’s getting the headlines for all the right reasons at the moment due to its commentary on the environment and capitalism. If you don’t mind reading, then this is a game that you should definitely check out. You may remember point-and-click adventure…

Weird West review
Weird West is an action RPG set in the ol’ West, although the game does have elements of immersive sims. The whole game is designed as a sandbox for the player; take an action and there will be consequences. Actions are permanent and they can’t be undone, which makes the game all the more intriguing.…
