What happens when you take Genji from Overwatch, give him a parkour-esque movement scheme from Mirror’s Edge and put him into 3D, souped up version of the excellent 2D action platformer Katana Zero? You get Ghostrunner. An addictive hardcore action platformer where you die in one hit, but so do...

Ever since the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, horror gaming has never been the same, thanks to Frictional Games’ masterpiece’s then-innovative focus on hide and seek gameplay. One game that tried to capitalize on the trend was 2017’s Remothered: Tormented Fathers, a game our own Jason Palazini tackled and disliked,...

The roguelike genre is one of my favourites of all time. If done right, with an addictive gameplay loop, a good roguelike game could last dozens of hours, if not mode. The recently released Hades and Othercide are great showcases for the genre. Star Renegades, the latest game from Raw...

2020 has been one hell of a year for the turn-based tactics genre with a ton of surprises. Gears made its first genre shift and it was a wonderful XCOM-inspired adventure. XCOM itself got experimental with Chimera Squad and the full XCOM 2 experience was released on Switch. However, my favourite...

Not all games inspired by the infamous FromSoftware Souls series can pull through. Games like Remnant: From the Ashes and The Surge 2 have successfully managed to recapture the essence of the Souls-like genre, whilst having unique elements in order to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Horror games have been increasing in quantity over the years and I couldn’t be happier about that. We’ve had some fantastic horror games in recent memory, like the Resident Evil 2 remake and the cosmic horror delight that was Moons of Madness. Suffice to say, not all of them have...

What happens when you take the ultra-tight controls of Counter Strike Global Offensive, add a few heroes from Overwatch and put it together in a shooter? You get Valorant, a brand new hero shooter from the creators of League of Legends. But is it any good?

Earlier on this year, the world was treated to the wonderfully wacky Journey to the Savage Planet, a weird and engaging first-person metroidvania title with an incredible, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-inspired sense of humour. When our reviewer Leo tackled it back in January, he praised the game’s unique tone...

We can all agree that the stealth announcement and eventual release of XCOM: Chimera Squad was a surprise to all of us, especially considering its budget-y, spin-off-ish nature. Chimera Squad attempts to keep the core of XCOM‘s gameplay loop alive whilst attempting to add some major changes to its formula....
