Alright, I can finally cross off 4X strategy games off my gaming blind-spot. I can’t say I’ve actively avoided them but I do prefer strategy to be more real time and, preferably involve some kind of power fantasy. Spellforce: Conquest of Eo certainly provides the fantasy part. Taking place across […]

Excessive Trim is the latest effort from Panda Indie Studio best known for their long line of vertically-scrolling shoot ’em ups published by eastasiasoft.  We’ve reviewed quite a lot of their games and while their last one, Feeble Light, was awful, we generally like what they do. This game is a […]

Cats and nosey sods, let’s be honest. I’ve had plenty through my life and their need for attention gets them in situations they really shouldn’t be in. Cats and the Other Lives is a narrative-driven puzzle game from Cultic Games which looks to replicate the feline experience. I’ll be honest, […]

VISCO Collection is a compilation of Neo Geo games originally coded by the ’90s developer Visco Corporation.  The majority of their output either came out in the arcades or on the Neo Geo, a sort of hybrid home/arcade system that only the rich kids could afford games for given that these […]

Alive Paint is an art utility/game from the mysteriously named solo developer KhudO and it comes to us by way of the ever-prolific publisher eastasiasoft.  It was released initially on PC back in March but is now available on consoles.

Harmony’s Odyssey is from Warsaw-based dev MythicOwl and published by fellow Poles WeDigGames. We got a similar feel to the work of Artifex Mundi, also based in Poland. We’d not be all that surprised if MythicOwl had some staff in common with that dev either either. Harmony’s Odyssey is a […]

Funny how things come full circle. When the original Lords of the Fallen arrived in 2014, the soulslike sub-genre was not really a consideration. As one of the first to try their hand at From Software’s formula, the game stumbled into mediocrity. Almost a decade and a troublesome development later, […]

There was something about Overpass I just didn’t get on with. I love the idea of a more serious, obstacle-based racer but the feel of the game just felt off and I couldn’t get to grips with it. Well, Neopica’s taking another crack at the series and Overpass 2 does […]
