Dark Souls: Remastered
Remakes and remasters are the perfect opportunity to play on our nostalgia. To make us yearn for games from our past that fill us with the same kind of childlike wonder and glee that we felt when we originally experienced these titles. Although this is not a good description for...
FAR: Lone Sails
A lonely and desperate journey through a beautifully bleak world. FAR: Lone Sails has you set sail across vast open lands on a ship that constantly requires attention and management. Are you able to defy all odds and pilot your vehicle solo to the very end?
City of Brass
Set in a gorgeous Arabian Nights inspired world, City of Brass is a whip-cracking roguelike that has recently released onto PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Made by developers who had formerly worked on the Bioshock series, the game and its eye-catching aesthetic immediately stood out when we played it at...
Murderous Pursuits
Aboard a fancy Victorian ship you socialise, drink, entertain, mingle with the crowd, and secretly murder your target without exposing yourself. It’s Murderous Pursuits, a kill or be killed experience where only 1 player can be the ultimate secret assassin.
The Swords of Ditto
The sword falls and the lands are cursed with another 100 years under the tyranny of Mormo’s reign. It’s your turn to pick up the sword and fight back against the never ending curse.
Q.U.B.E. 2
First-person puzzle games have always been an odd favourite of mine. It’s not a very dense genre of games although it is a genre that forces you to think in a slightly different way. These games demand that you have the spacial awareness skills to be able to take in...
Darwin Project
When Charles Darwin came up with his ‘survival of the fittest’ theory he probably wasn’t referring to 10 homicidal maniacs running around the snow and mutilating each other with axes and arrows. Yet here we are.
Pit People
It can be difficult for a video game to form its own identity rather than rely on the inspiration from the games that came before it. Although The Behemoth’s latest release, Pit People, is a game unlike anything I’ve seen before. Hell, it’s unlike anything I could have ever imagined.
Into the Breach
Occasionally a game comes along that imbues a genre with new life. A game that reimagines the standard and repurposes it in a simple yet elegant way. Into the Breach is most certainly one of these games. Releasing at the end of February by developer Subset Games, Into the Breach...
Mulaka
Embracing the rich and largely untold story of Tarahumara culture, Mulaka is a journey of discovery and spirituality in a corrupted world. You play as a Sukurúame, a native Shaman who posses great powers including the ability to see into the spirit world. Spear in hand you set out on...
There are a good handful of open-world, medieval RPGs (role-playing games) out in the gaming sphere. Some offer incredible storytelling, some offer a huge array of amazing things to stumble upon, and some have been re-released 6 times in the last 4 years. But the one thing I’m yet to...
Subnautica
On board the spaceship Aurora you suddenly find yourself plummeting toward an alien planet after your ship is shot down. Inside a one-man escape pod you crash into a vast ocean biome and are knocked unconscious on impact. After waking you climb atop of your broken but floating pod to...
