Inspired by the likes of What Remains of Edith Finch and Gone Home, The Suicide of Rachel Foster tells a haunting story of two families torn apart by secrecy and scandal. It’s a Walking Simulator set in an isolated and dilapidated hotel where protagonist Nicole has to explore her past...
The Nintendo Switch is no stranger to ports from other consoles, particularly the 3DS, the newest of which being Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold. Let’s take a bite out of this snack and see if it is worth the extra calorie intake.
Like the series which developer Compile Heart is known for, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Arc of Alchemist is a tactical action RPG with a roster full of cutesy anime characters. It’s pretty much the developer’s bread and butter, but if that makes you think that’s a good sign about the Arc of...
Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a mashing together of two very different properties. On one hand, it’s a spin-off of the Sniper Elite series, sharing the same gameplay, including the satisfying X-ray kill-cams. On the other hand, there’s zombies all over the shop. The game is soaking in schlocky...

Developed by Toge Productions, Coffee Talk aims to provide that kind of slower-paced experience, placing you in the shoes of a barista...
When AO Tennis launched two years ago, it quite plainly suffered from being rushed out in an attempt to capitalise on the Australian Open tournament itself which happens every January. What Aussie’s received could politely be referred to as a double fault, with jarring gameplay and matches that didn’t flow...
I’m not overly seasoned in brawlers. I’ve played a few (Scott Pilgrim vs The World, a bit of Bayonetta and even that 1991 The Simpsons arcade game) and I was never able to master them, but I always had fun. So when a pretty, pastel coloured indie by the name of Super Crush...
Orangeblood throws you into an alternative history timeline where you control a party of girls taking on the dirty and corrupt underworld of a Japanese municipality. It’s a game that merges cultures and aesthetics in a uniquely interesting way, but also struggles to find its footing at the same time.
