Darq
Developed almost entirely by a solo developer, DARQ is an unbelievably impressive puzzle game that manages to be equal parts creepy and intelligent. Using perspective to alter the game space, DARQ will have you lost in a Burton-esque nightmare where you’ll have to bend space and defy gravity in order...
Wolfenstein: Youngblood takes the now proven Wolfenstein formula and expands it into a cooperative experience. Gone is series protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz and in his place are Jess and Sophia, B.J.’s playful yet kickass twin daughters.
Sea of Solitude
Sea of Solitude’s opening moments summarise the game quite well. You’re a young adult female who is existing in a dark world, isolated from everything except your own demons. It’s a new title from the EA Originals program being developed by Jo-Mei Games, a small team from Berlin.
Mortal Kombat 11
Starting its life back in 1992, a mere month before I was born, was the now infamous Mortal Kombat series. This is a franchise that has helped define fighting games as we now know them and it still stands strong as a pillar of the genre. 27 years later and...
Generation Zero
Generation Zero takes place in a reimagining of 1980’s Sweden. You play as a teenager returning from vacation to find a completely deserted town, devoid of all human life. Something has taken place and you’re not quite sure what that something is.
Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice is following a legacy of phenomenal hardcore action RPGs from developer FromSoftware. This is a studio that has well and truly found their niche. They’re managing to not only impress gamers time and time again with every new release, but they’ve also single-handedly invented a new...
Anthem
After releasing Mass Effect: Andromeda back in 2017 it became clear that BioWare had lost a little bit of what made them special. They lost some faith in their dedicated fans and were in a position where they needed to prove who they were as a studio again. In walks...
Metro Exodus
Very few game franchises have been able to match the kind of grim and dark tones found in the Metro series. This is a series of game that, unlike any other I’ve played, is able to evoke lasting feelings of misery and dread. It’s certainly a bleak world out there...
Slay the Spire
I’m a huge fan of collectable card games, but even I’ll admit the genre begun to feel a bit formulaic. These strategy games typically had their own unique features to separate themselves from one another, but when you drilled down to the core, it’s hard not to see the overwhelming...
Fallout 76
Bethesda for the longest time have been renowned for their single-player, vast open worlds. Other developers have previously helped them expand those worlds into a multiplayer space, such as Zenimax Studios with The Elder Scrolls Online. However Fallout 76 marks Bethesda’s first official foray into a multiplayer realm.
We Happy Few
We Happy Few may have one of the most absurd and convoluted development histories within gaming. From a small development studio and Kickstarter success to one of Microsoft’s first party developers, Compulsion Games has certainly received a lot of attention during the development of their humble survival game. We’ve also...
Vampyr
Set in 1918 London during the Spanish Influenza epidemic, Vampyr tells a dark fantasy story ripe with intriguing lore, moral dilemmas, and monumental amounts of death. In the aftermath of the Great War and at the height of death and disease thanks to the Spanish Flu, Vampyr’s setting is one that...
