Psychonauts 2 review
Psychonauts 2 is finally here. It may have taken 16 years since the first installment, plus a well-documented journey including Doublefine being bought by Microsoft, but it seems it’s been well worth the wait, as Psychonauts 2 puts in a strong claim for a game of the year 2021. We last saw Raz and the…

Axiom Verge 2 is the follow-up to the original Axiom Verge from Tom Happ, a now-classic Metroidvania from 2015. The sequel switches things up in a pretty dramatic fashion, expanding the Axiom Verge universe in major ways.

The Ascent review
The Ascent is an isometric action RPG set in a cyberpunk and bleak future where corporations are dominant and life seems fairly meaningless. I was looking forward to this one but the sheen quickly fell away and I didn’t really enjoy my time with the game at all. First of all, there are many things…

GRIME review
Grime is a new Metroidvania souls-like that combines platforming, action, and plenty of secrets. Developed by a small team, this game shows a load of potential and if you like games like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, then this could be something worth checking out. In terms of story, it’s a little thin on the…

Pokemon Unite review
Pokemon Unite is Nintendo’s first try at the MOBA genre and it’s been very well received. This is a 5v5 battle, with MOBA light mechanics, and the key to all of this is the 10 min timer on matches, so it’s a very easy game to dip in and out of. The Pokemon franchise has…

Super Metroid review
Super Metroid is arguably the pinnacle of the Metroid series, and it’s also one of the most accessible too on modern-day consoles given you can play it on the SNES through Nintendo Switch Online. This is one of the best 16-bit era games with great gameplay, graphics, and also music too. Metroid has developed a…

Pathway review
Pathway’s vision feels like a cross between Indiana Jones and Advanced Wars, with a pinch of roguelike thrown in for good measure. The game looks beautiful, however, there are definitely some areas for improvement in this ambitious strategy RPG. Turn-based tactics games are making somewhat of a comeback with popular entries in the genre over…
