Hidden Agenda
The creators of Until Dawn got bored of murdering young adults in classic ‘slasher’ fashion and have moved on to the world of gripping detective fiction. Well, that’s the idea anyway. Hidden Agenda is the new game by developer Supermassive and you’ll immediately see some familiar tropes and similarities with...
Hand of Fate 2
You sit face to face with the dealer. Your fate firmly sealed within the grasp of his withered hands. A deck of cards reveals the long journey you took to get to the dealer’s side. Each card a blank moment of your history that needs to be written into existence....
The all-American hero, William Joseph Blazkowicz, has returned with more firepower, more scars, and more determination to take down the ruling Nazi force.
Talion has returned to Middle-earth alongside his annoyingly grumpy and totally overpowered wraith/elf sidekick (Celebrimbor) to fight a systematic hierarchy of talkative Orcs. Yes, we are of course talking about Middle-earth: Shadow of War.
Hob
I’ve been amazed at the amount of super high quality indie titles that have been releasing recently and Hob is a prime example. I’m not quite sure how it keeps happening but time and time again I find myself flabbergasted by the visual style created in these smaller releases. Hob...
Developed by Larian Studios, Divinity Original Sin 2 is an increadible leap forward, not only for the series, but for RPGs in general.
Ruiner
I jumped into Ruiner expecting a top-down arcade shooter with an amazing style, pumping beats and weapons and abilities galore. What I discovered was a surprisingly deep RPG full of story, dialogue, character, quests, side-quests, loot rarity and even a world-hub. Oh, and it also had arcade shooting, an amazing...
Absolver
Absolver is a picturesque, martial arts RPG by Devolver Digital and Sloclap. The game is an ambitious leap into the Action Role-Playing Game (ARPG) genre and one that manages to create a unique and captivating experience for the player. With an engaging campaign on offer and the ability to jump...
Redeemer
Redeemer is a steroid-fuelled rampage of pure aggressive brutality. It’s the kind of testosterone driven slaughterfest that would leave the Gears of War characters whimpering in a pile of pathetic manlessenss. It’s every other synonym for macho violence you can think of – and for that reason I kind of...
Nidhogg 2
Nidhogg 2 is a game that allows you to customise your character, jump onto the crazy battlefield, and fence your way to victory. Played as an online, local, or solo game, Nidhogg has players test their skills as they face off against one another in ludicrous side-scrolling mayhem.
Tacoma
Set on a space station in 2088, Tacoma tells the story of 6 astronauts and an AI who lose communication with the rest of the world and whose oxygen supply is plummeting to unsurvivable levels. Made by the development company that previously brought us Gone Home (Fullbright), players will notice...
Aporia: Beyond The Valley is a tranquil stroll through an ambiguous yet beautiful world. It’s a journey where the destination isn’t known and the mysterious story unraveling around you is abstract and up for personal interpretation.
