The Medium
What lies beyond? It’s a question that’s dominated the human psyche since the dawn of consciousness. What beyond that ridge? That horizon? Or the ultimate, most unanswerable question of all: what lies beyond this mortal plane? What happens when we pass on?
The Atelier series has been a deeply loved series for fans of the alchemy JRPG genre for many years. But it wasn’t until Atelier Ryza’s release in 2019 that we saw some record-breaking sales and it’s no surprise that a year later we would see a sequel so soon. Unlike...
Override 2: Super Mech League by the indie publishers Modus Games attempts to recapture the cult success of the first one. A casual mecha brawler with a clean art style, tight combat, and a huge roster of characters, the game certainly looks very appealing. However, the incredibly limited single-player options...
Originally released on the WiiU and Steam in 2016, the cult classic, Tadpole Treble is now back for an encore on the Nintendo Switch. But can this cute amphibian still hold a tune 5 years after its initial release?
Hitman 3
Good morning, 47. After 2 games across 15 locations, IO Interactive returns to wrap up the World of Assassination trilogy in Hitman 3. More of the same in the best possible way, Hitman 3 is a fantastic way to spend a few dozen (or hundred) hours this winter.
Calico
A good life sim will suck you into a world you’d never considered before. I’m not a farmer or a full-blown cat lady, yet I gravitate to those worlds in games. Calico in particular represents a realm I’d left untouched before now. What if I owned a baker’s dozen cats,...

Some games are fragile bird’s eggs: easily broken if handled poorly. Writing a review for these games can feel like picking those eggs up without gloves, just praying that you won’t drop them. When The Past Was Around, a point-and-click adventure game developed by Mojiken Studio, is one of these...
Phogs!
Phogs! is the vibrantly colourful, smooth puzzle game that I didn’t realize I needed during these turbulent times. Recommended by a fellow gamer, I went into this title fairly blind, but I quickly discovered what makes it such a great puzzle game. Phogs! is dripping with charm. From the protagonist...
Katamari Damacy is a timeless game, and the fact that it has been remastered years after its first release as Katamari Damacy Reroll with such high praise on previous platforms speaks volumes. Now that it is available on yet another console, its reach is only extending to more people –...
Doom Eternal
Tearing its way onto the Nintendo Switch, ready to put its foot through your chest and rip out your soul is Doom Eternal. Fans have had to endure 9 long months for the port but trust me, it was worth the wait. The demons at Panic Button must have worked...
