Whist I may still be a relative newcomer to the Ys franchise each game I play impresses me immensely as does Falcom’s output as a whole. I’ve played Ys Origins and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA and now the trend continues with Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Again you play as […]

I ended up coming around to Remnant: From the Ashes in my original review. At times it was frustrating and repetitive by design but the loop of replaying areas hoping to trigger an event you hadn’t seen in order to get different gear or traits became quite addictive and I […]

Frostpunk is a city-building, survival game that first appeared, to very positive reviews, on the PC last year and has now landed on the two big boy consoles to a degree of anticipation.

It’s not very often I venture into survival games. The genre’s reliance on management and time constraints tends to put me in a difficult position, as someone who likes to take their time. Whilst elements do find their way into other games, I never quite gel with the complete experience. […]

Sometimes it’s difficult to realise just how long an early access project can take to finalise. In the case of Subnautica, the ocean-based survival game has been in the works since it was introduced to gamers on steam in 2014. There is a danger of this kind of development lifecycle. […]

Downward Spiral: Horus Station is a VR-optional title from Finnish VR specialists 3rd Eye Studios and is described as a “mysterious and atmospheric zero gravity thriller.” You start off in the titular Horus Station, floating around aimlessly with the station clearly operating on emergency power only.

I can’t swim so the idea of being stranded under the sea is probably my ultimate nightmare. Narcosis, a narratively-driven horror from Honor Code, looks to deliver a claustrophobic tale of isolation and survival under the weight of many atmospheres of pressure. Sounds fun. Taking place exclusively underwater, a disaster […]

Funded by Kickstarter, Kona is the first full game from Canada-based Parabole. The base game was actually released last year. This is a review of the VR add-on that’s just been released which lets you play the whole game with PSVR and with motion controls if you have them, but […]

As VR concepts go, ARK Park should have been an easy win. All the elements are automatically in place. You have the nostalgic angle, which is provided by the loose association with the Jurassic Park concept. While for gameplay you have a myriad of opportunities that can be pulled from […]

While I generally prefer games where I’m shooting things, there’s something nice about a chilled out game where you get to build things. From Minecraft to Stardew Valley, those kind of games can be insanely popular and so Spanish dev team Chibig have decided to resurrect Deiland, a farming/survival game that first came […]

From Polish developers Sleepless Clinic comes the new title Symmetry. A survival game that, using a few simple interactions, challenges you to help a crew escape a hostile planet.
