Agatha Christie has provided the world with some of the best mystery novels ever written. There have been countless films, TV shows, and even video games based off her works. In theory, her material should be the basis for some of the best detective thriller games on the market, but...
The original Death’s Gambit launched back in 2018, and whilst I didn’t review it back then, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a soulslike metroidvania title that, despite its many flaws, was an enjoyable time. It didn’t the heights of the likes of Hollow Knight, but it provided...
Back in 2019, when I reviewed a game called SolSeraph, I literally closed said review with the following statement:
Fracked
Have you ever wanted to play a game that was a supernatural Cliffhanger? Well, Fracked might just be your game. It puts you on a mountain top in an abandoned fracking facility overrun by interdimensional beings. You will be hanging from helicopters, skiing down slopes, and hanging on edges for...

Very few games are capable of catching my eye and leaving me spellbound. It needs to have that certain flair that grabs me with its hooks and never let’s go. For a decade now, I’ve reviewed several titles, and amongst them, there have only been two cases of a perfect...
I really need to find a better term for indie platformers inspired by Limbo and Inside other than “the little kid running away from imminent danger genre”, but I really cannot think of one. It is one of the most iconic niches in indie gaming thanks to Playdead’s critical and...
I call it the Final Fantasy Tactics effect. When there’s a series you enjoy, maybe even love, but there’s a spinoff that just eclipses all of its other games. It’s not a mainline entry, so purists look at you with disdain, but you just know it’s the best. FFT is...
I would be lying if I told I had heard of 2011’s El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron prior to its recent re-release on Steam. This was as niche as niche could get: a lower-budget Japanese hack n’ slash centered around the Hebrew Book of Enoch, released in the same...
This is the first review I’m writing for an Atari game after the release of their long overdue Atari VCS console, a brand new era for the revived company. Whether that console will end up becoming a niche hit or a tremendous failure remains to be seen, but one thing...

Horror games are my bread and butter, some of my favourite in gaming. The recent Tormented Souls was a great callback to classic survival horror, fixed cameras and all, whilst Visage was a relentless assault on the senses, providing some of the best scares in recent memory. Time try out...
I have to begin this review by stating something unexpected. I am more than confident that Forza Horizon 5 will be the best racing game released in 2021. That’s already kinda obvious. Now, the second place was up for grabs up until recently. One would have imagined that this spot...
You all know I love me some Yakuza. Even the weakest titles in the franchise are, in my opinion, great games, like Yakuza 3 or Dead Souls. Judgment, their first major spinoff not starring best daddy Kiryu, was an excellent game, but compared to its predecessor, it felt less captivating...
