When The Blood of Dawnwalker was first revealed, I immediately had a feeling that this was a game I needed to keep an eye on. Not just because the premise of playing a half-vampire in a medieval fantasy world sounded appealing, but because of the people behind it. Rebel Wolves was established by a group of former CD Projekt RED … Read More

There probably isn’t much point in explaining what Elden Ring is at this stage. FromSoftware’s open-world action RPG became a genuine gaming phenomenon when it launched in 2022, winning Game of the Year awards, selling tens of millions of copies and becoming one of the most critically acclaimed games ever made. Still, for the sake of the review, Elden Ring … Read More

Before getting my hands on Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters, I wasn’t particularly familiar with the Captain Tsubasa franchise. I hadn’t played the previous game, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions, and I haven’t watched the anime either. I’m not exactly the biggest soccer fan in the world, so this probably isn’t the most obvious series for me to gravitate … Read More

Ever since Star Wars: Zero Company was first revealed, I’ve been incredibly excited to get my hands on it. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Star Wars universe, but I’m also a massive fan of tactical strategy games, particularly games like XCOM. So when the two were brought together in one game, it immediately felt like one of … Read More

I’m a big fan of Souls-like games. Over the years, I’ve played and reviewed more than my fair share of them, from the obvious genre heavyweights to some of the more experimental games trying to put their own spin on the formula. Yet, for whatever reason, I’d somehow never gotten around to playing Lies of P. That was despite hearing, … Read More

I’ve played my fair share of fighting games over the years, from traditional one on one fighters to the more chaotic tag-based games that ask you to keep track of an entire team. I’ve also spent a ridiculous amount of time with Arc System Works’ previous work, particularly Dragon Ball FighterZ, so when the studio announced MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, … Read More

There’s something refreshing about seeing Game Freak step outside the shadow of Pokémon. For decades, the studio has been almost synonymous with Nintendo’s monster-catching series, but Beast of Reincarnation gives the developer an opportunity to show what it can do when it isn’t constrained by Poké Balls, gyms and turn-based battles. Developed by Game Freak as a major new action … Read More

There’s something particularly fitting about The Sinking City 2 arriving as a game shaped by adversity. Developer Frogwares has always had a strong relationship with Lovecraftian horror, but this sequel takes that foundation in a noticeably different direction. While the original The Sinking City leaned heavily into open-world investigation and detective work, The Sinking City 2 shifts the series towards … Read More

There are certain games that stick with you long after you’ve finished them. For me, Steins;Gate is absolutely one of those games. Originally released in 2009, the visual novel went on to become one of the most beloved entries in the Science Adventure series, eventually finding an even wider audience through its hugely successful anime adaptation. It’s a story I’ve … Read More

There’s something immediately familiar about Duskfade. From the moment I stepped into its colourful clockwork world, I felt like I’d been transported back to the mid-2000s, when 3D platformers were everywhere and every new adventure seemed to have a lovable mascot, a collection of strange worlds to explore and a combination of platforming, combat and light RPG mechanics. Developed by … Read More
