The original Disco Dodgeball found some success as an enticing party game that lacked longevity. 82 Apps have returned with a rejigged version with some new features. Can the new coat of paint reinvigorate a title that ran out of steam? Disco Dodgeball Remix’s gameplay remains unchanged from the original. […]

From the makers of Stories: The Path of Destinies comes Omensight, a game where you’re challenged with uncovering who murdered Vera, the Godless-Priestess and best hope of bringing peace to the land, and why. You are the Harbinger, called upon when the world is about to end, and with the […]

Space Hulk: Deathwing represents everything I have always wanted in a Warhammer 40k game. While the series is famed for its tactical, methodical gameplay on the board and previous video games, I have often found these quite hard to get into due to their huge learning curves and reliance on […]

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 […]

You have got to hand it to Sony. They seem to have happened on a formula for curating excellent exclusive games recently. Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn and Bloodborne could all be considered examples of once in a generation titles, games that elevate above others in terms of quality […]

Racing games have been a dime a dozen for years and it must be hard for smaller efforts to stand out. We’ve seen indie efforts in the recent past go for something a little more leftfield and now Supergonk have taken to the tarmac with a fantastical racer with a […]

Making games is hard, there’s no doubt. What makes a game mediocre or an all time classic? What makes a game boring or impossible to put down? It’s that little bit of magic that must be so hard to program. Making a game run well must surely be the easy […]

Following on from March’s Midnight Deluxe, Spanish coders Ratalaika Games are back with InkSplosion, a colourful twin-stick shooter that is available now as a cross-buy title for PS4 and the Vita. With no plot to worry about and not even a tutorial (a splash screen showing you the controls is available though), […]

The scrolling beat ’em-up genre isn’t dead, but it’s far from the fan favourite that it was back in the 16-bit era. I reviewed Mother Russia Bleeds a while back, but between then and now we’ve reviewed plenty of similar titles, even another with Raging in the title very recently. […]

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 […]

Forgotton Anne is an anime inspired puzzle platformer from Danish developer ThroughLine Games published under Square Enix’s Collective banner, development being significantly helped by the state-funded Danish Film Institute. You’ll be immediately struck by its beautiful graphical style as it brings to mind the artistic style of Studio Ghibli’s output, […]
