Dolmen (PC) Review

Venturing into a Souls-like is an experience like no other in gaming. You know that failure is inevitable, and a grind to victory is necessary to overcome gargantuan obstacles in the form of titanic enemies. Some forego this grind and stay away…

Itorah (PC) Review

I love seeing visually striking games that take inspiration from locales and cultures not often seen in gaming. As a result, I found myself drawn to Itorah, a game that uses South American and Central American landscapes for its setting. However, sometimes…

Salt and Sacrifice (PC) – Review

2016 witnessed the release of a small 2D action role-playing game called Salt and Sanctuary. It came from Ska Studios, just one bloke called James Silva basically, and it was well-received. Of course, it was. It was a 2D port of Dark Souls…

Cities: Skylines (PC) – Review

A little over two and half years ago, Dari gave their impressions on this 2015 piece of city-building majesty. I think it is phrases like that which give away the game a little, if my two or three times talking about Cities: Skylines prior…

Trek to Yomi (PC) Review

It was a little over a month ago that I had the chance to play a preview copy of Trek to Yomi. With visuals inspired by the likes of Akira Kurosawa and a story that combines timeless samurai cinema with Japanese mythology,…

Back 4 Blood – Tunnels of Terror DLC (PC) Review

Back 4 Blood was released last October, to the delight of fans of the Left 4 Dead franchise getting a close-as-can-be spiritual successor from the original devs. While the lasting power of this game is certainly in question (with about 3k concurrent players),…

Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderland (PC) – Review

Sliding backward down a mountain, often at speed, peppering in “tricks,” all under the guise of being relaxing, is insane. I’ve previously stated that I find snowboarding, skiing, and other extreme winter sports, to be an exercise in getting yourself killed by…

Serious Sam: Tormental (PC) Review

If there’s one genre that’s been done to death, it’s the roguelike. Ever since Binding of Isaac took off as a premier indie darling in 2011, many others have emulated its success with brilliant ideas, airtight combat, and a pulse-pounding sense of urgency to…

Cat Café Manager (PC) Review

Cat Café Manager, unsurprisingly, is a café management game with cats. What will they think of next? You may be like me, and you’ll have first stumbled across it during one of the Wholesome Games showcases, and despite some gentle “spooky-ness” it…

Young Souls (PC) Review

The mixing of two genres has worked wonders in the gaming industry. Whether it be Mass Effect meshing third-person shooting with RPG storytelling mechanics or perhaps the recent The Riftbreaker doing RTS and top-down shooting simultaneously, a truly unique experience can be had with…
