Laser League
How many new sports with any staying power have you seen in your lifetime? Chances are that answer is probably zero. That is unless college kids are still running around pretending to ride on brooms to play some Harry Potter game. Point is, creating an entirely new sport is hard...
Spacejacked
Spacejacked is an arcade tower defense game mixed with action shooting and fast-paced strategizing. Developed by the talented independent studio Rotten Mage, Spacejacked follows Dave, an engineer defending his spaceship against hordes of invading aliens. With his one-man-army, he builds turrets around the ship using a limited amount of metal...
I might have been the only one living under a rock when the critically acclaimed original came out back in 2014, and while I missed out on it, I wasn’t about to miss the opportunity to get my hands on Super Mega Baseball 2. After all, what’s more fun than...
A grotesque and bloated corpse – dead, yet still alive – shambles towards you, groaning gutturally. The dead have come back to life, and … Wait, you’ve heard this one before? You’re right, the whole zombie thing is getting a little played out. Metal Gear Survive, The Walking Dead, Dead...

Remember back in the day when Assassin’s Creed had a multiplayer mode? It’d be understandable if you don’t, considering the mode was only around for a few entries and Assassin’s Creed has always been known for its single-player focus, but I felt they were onto something special. Cut to 2018...
City of Brass
City of Brass is an odd beast. I’ve never played anything quite like it. Well, strictly speaking, that’s not true. It’s a procedurally generated dungeon crawler, with purchasable upgrades and an experience point system that persists between runs. It’s also a first-person melee game all about killing Arabian Nights themed...
Light Fall
From developer Bishop Games, Light Fall is a simple, aesthetically pleasing platformer that is challenging in its puzzles and perfect landings yet familiar in its art style and overall feel. Players take control of a young boy who awakens in the land of Numbra with no memory of who he...
Telling a story has never been particularly easy. If the theme is vague or the scope too broad, people have trouble connecting with it. At the same time an overly personal story can have the same effect, and what resonates for the writer becomes too narrow to engage the audience....
Frostpunk
From developer 11 bit studios, Frostpunk is a complex strategy survival experience that forces the player to make grave, moral decisions that will weigh heavily upon the immersive gamer. Set in a not too distant future, an apocalyptic event has caused an unending winter to strike the world, leaving England...
Octahedron
Even the game’s opening cutscene is too esoteric to really explain: a shadowy man-shaped figure exits a log cabin, beckoned to the nearby woods by a glowing, floating octahedron which, upon being touched, transports the shadow-man Tron-style into a bizarre, beat-heavy neon hellscape from which he must escape.
Rogue Aces
Aspiring air pilots, its time to take to the skies with a brand new, 2D air combat game for your Nintendo Switch, Rogue Aces. You’ll join the ranks of the green army, led by your wise-cracking commanding officer, and fight wave are wave against the brutal orange army. Fans of...
