Developer ONE-O-ONE GAMES, the developers of the incredibly divisive Suicide of Rachel Foster, is back with a new experience. The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a modern interpretation of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy. I myself am not familiar with this piece of work, but I was still actually interested...
Just an average day in the UK.
Oh, Star Wars. Ever since Disney got its hands on the franchise, it has been a wild ride of hits and misses. When it comes to the movies, there have arguably been a fair few misses, with The Last Jedi and, of course, the abomination that is The Rise of...
The madness of repetitiveness.

Over the past few years, Capcom has rarely missed, landing just about every major release while still being willing to experiment with new formulas and styles. It’s a studio that isn’t afraid to get a little weird, and that willingness often leads to some genuinely unique experiences. Exoprimal, despite its...
Adaptations and interpretations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works are plentiful and everywhere. In games, we have the likes of Call of Cthulhu or Alone in the Dark, which drew incredibly heavily on the Lovecraft Mythos. Whilst masterpieces such as SOMA, which don’t directly adapt the mythology are based heavily on it,...
2016’s Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is what I consider a modern classic. Mimimi Games’ hardcore take on the tactical stealth genre has always been easy for me to recommend to anyone looking for a new stealth game. The studio went on to deliver several more excellent titles, including...
