The game beginning when the story ends is not what one expects when booting up an RPG for the first time. I was face-to-face with the “big bad” of ‘Game Over – A Musical RPG?’ within moments of loading into its pixelated fantasy world. Aussie dev, Jake Houston, produced a

The swamps in the Deep South are murky but awfully inviting. Compulsion Games, creators of ‘We Happy Few’ and ‘Contrast’, two games I dug into myself, have created such a magical world in their newest project, ‘South Of Midnight’, and it’s pretty decent. A tale set in the dreary bayou
DOOM: The Dark Ages, the much-anticipated sequel to DOOM Eternal is just around the corner, and thanks to the folks over at Bethesda ANZ, we had the pleasure of spending several hours checking out the game. Our hands-on playtime included playing through the entire first chapter of the campaign and
Surprisingly, I’m not new to playing as a cat in a platformer, albeit my previous experience was more dystopian sci-fi. Only Way is Down by Jilted Generation Productions takes it to a more realistic place, with a small side of silliness that often falls flat. Starting firmly on the ground
Age of Mythology: Retold launched July 12, 2024, modernising the beloved classic with upgraded graphics, refined gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements.

Atomfall asks a simple question: What if the Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957 actually turned part of Britain into an irradiated wasteland? In this alternate version of England, Rebellion has traded in its third-person, stealth action games like Sniper Elite, for a first-person, survival action game akin to ‘Fallout’ or

‘Rise of the Ronin’, a 2024 ARPG, by Team Ninja, is finally on PC and developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES. With a release on PC plagued with woeful dramas due to a rumored stuttering issue, I was concerned when tasked with tackling this otherwise highly acclaimed PS5 title. I remained
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the latest instalment from Ubisoft, transporting players to the Sengoku period of feudal Japan.

‘Monster Hunter’ and I have a very interesting relationship. The first game I ever played in the series was 2018’s ‘Monster Hunter World’, and while I knew I was playing a great video game, it just never clicked for me. Then came 2021’s ‘Monster Hunter Rise’, and the same issues
In 2021, ‘It Takes Two’ was released to critical acclaim, winning numerous ‘Game of the Year’ awards and changing the co-op genre forever. So, you could probably forgive Josef Fares and his team at Hazelight Studios if they wanted to rest on their laurels for their next game. However, after

Outer Brains Studios has thought out of the box with ‘Blood Typers’, a survival horror, retro-styled adventure game but with a twist. The only way to complete the game is to type, so you have to learn to type quickly. This game was lots of fun from start to finish,
‘Police: Shootout’, developed by Games Incubator and Hypnotic Ants, is a turn-based, first-person shooter, a bizarre combination indeed. Here, you must step into the footsteps of a cop and make all the hard decisions, some harder than you may realise. The story has a decent premise. You play as our
SEGA’s ‘The Like a Dragon’ franchise (formerly known as Yakuza in the West) developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is known for its large cast of colourful characters with diverse personalities, and one of the biggest standouts since the original game is Goro Majima. He was introduced in the original

Glum—what better word describes my feelings after playing ‘GLUM’? Maybe that was the intention of developer and publisher CinderCat Games, but after spending three hours playing the demo, as much as I wanted to have fun with GLUM, I never found it. Glum is a goblin minion whose overlord has

Man, I have always liked cooking, but somehow, ‘Let’s Cook Together 2’ by Yellow Dot Games makes the relaxing experience a full-on panic-fest.
