Ever since Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver stalked onto the scene a quarter of a century ago, it’s fair to say that the trials and tribulations of its spectral protagonist, Raziel, have lingered long in the memories of those who were lucky enough to play it back in the day. With a whole new generation […]

While sprawling amusement parks and beloved animated movies often spring to mind when you think of the House of Mouse, the company has also produced a wealth of video games over the last three decades. Beyond the classic 2D platformers of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, Disney has delivered a diverse range of titles and […]

Dome Keeper launched back in 2022 and was already a brilliant little roguelike, however I found it to be a little too minimalist for my needs at the time. Two years later, however, it’s emerged back on my gaming radar following a massive update back in July, which brought with it a shocking amount of […]

The joys of Vampire Survivors are all well-documented at this point. Despite being a seemingly minimalist game, and spawning a litany of genre stablemates, there’s just something about moving around mowing down ridiculous hordes of enemies as you go that is incredibly satisfying. The good thing about inspiring a whole genre is that often the […]

Many gamers prefer to carry their favourite playstyle from game to game, and understanding Concord’s characters and their abilities is key to a smooth start. While Concord is expected to expand its roster and refine existing characters, one refreshing aspect […]

Though the eye-searing sheen of Microsoft’s Forza Horizon games might convince more contemporary players that the whole open-world racing shtick was pioneered by The House of Xbox, that whole template was actually conceived much earlier by the Test Drive Unlimited titles way back in the dark mists of 2006. Now with some thirteen years on […]

Hooded Horse just might be one of the most exciting publishers around right now. Outside of the incredible Manor Lords, they also launched Against the Storm last year, and Empires of the Undergrowth this year. There are loads of other good games too, but the one I want to talk about today is Cataclismo, which […]

Thirteen years is certainly a long time to wait for any game and yet fans of 2011’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, including myself, will tell you that by all accounts Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 looks to be worth it and then some. So with that in mind, here are ten things that we’re looking […]

It was probably after desperately stealing some medication from someone’s ailing grandfather in 2014’s This War Of Mine, that I realised developer 11 Bit Studios had a real grasp of brutalist tactics and more pointedly, a handle on making the player twist their moral compass in the name of survival. There was nothing quite like […]

Quite possibly the most promising Star Wars title in years, Star Wars Outlaws reimagines the Lucasfilm space opus as a huge open-world extravaganza, tasking players to strap on the boots of a rugged smuggler who must traverse, shoot, sneak and steal their way across the galaxy in an epic odyssey that takes place between Star […]

It’s fair to say that the notion of remastering or remaking a title of any renown inhabits the same mind space as creating a new title from scratch. Sure, while you effectively have a source material of sorts to start from, versus nothing for an entirely new title, you still must wrestle with that same […]

August looks set to be one of the strongest months for top-tier indie games not only this year but possibly in the last few years. Regardless of what genre you are a fan of, you are going to have something incredible to look forward to this month. There were some many options for the month […]

Level Zero: Extraction is a heart-pounding, cooperative survival horror game that plunges players into a terrifying subterranean world overrun by monstrous creatures. Combining elements of stealth, action, and resource management, this intense experience is poised to redefine the extraction shooter genre, offering a thrilling new challenge for players. Be sure to keep this guide in […]

Well, good news because the Green Man Gaming Summer Sale is now live and offers incredible discounts on over 4,000 of the hottest PC games going. Whether you’re a fan […]

Dragon Eclipse has not long hit Early Access, and while it’s a little light on stuff to do right now – what with it currently only having one run boss, three difficulty levels and a few different monsters and tamers to pick from – it’s already an incredibly cool take on the roguelike deckbuilder that […]

Originally launched last August, Wayfinder was a live service game with seasonal updates, regular new characters and the vast array of microtransactions you would expect from a Free-to-Play game. Whilst fun, however, it suffered many of the trappings most new F2P games suffer, including concerns around its monetisation and the typical launch server issues. This […]

We don’t think we are providing blistering insight when we state that the sheer number of Bullet Hell and Vampire Survivors-like games available on Steam nowadays is overwhelming. Honestly, it’s hard to get through a single page of games on Steam without it feeling a bit like an assault course – dodge 20 similar titles […]

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is releasing later this month and promises to bring a slightly lighter, more accessible touch to the burgeoning Soulslike genre. Although it’s arguably the first game to be marketed as Souls-lite, it shares enough of its tougher namesake genre’s DNA to enable us to hand-pick out some of the best […]

Concord combines the hyperkinetic ferocity of Overwatch with the roguish intergalactic shenanigans of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and a real focus on story progression to create a fresh entry into the increasingly crowded hero shooter genre. If you’re tired of the current crop of hero shooters, Concord looks set to bring enough to reinvigorate […]
