Settris comes to us from developer Zoo Corporation and prolific publisher eastasiasoft. As you might surmise from the name, it involves quads, not unlike Alexei Pajnitov’s masterwork that remains relevant to this day through its constant iterations. The latest of which Tetris Effect is even playable via PSVR. We even […]

When we reviewed Remnant II back in August, we really enjoyed and appreciated its superb gunplay and gorgeous environments, so Gunfire Games announced their first bit of DLC for it, we were always going to be interested.  Of course, the original Remnant: Form the Ashes had plenty of DLC too but with […]

As the resident racing guy, I’m used to getting games focused around two or four wheels. I can say with confidence this is time I’ve ever had to deal with literal horse power. Wildshade: Unicorn Champions is a kid-friendly, pretty basic racing game that takes more inspiration from kart racers […]

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 […]

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, […]
