Paradox do not mess about when they say Grand Strategy. Famous for Crusader Kings, and Europa Universalis, the studio has a reputation for making strategy games on a frankly colossal scale of complexity a...

I'm writing this having just beaten Hyper Light Drifter for the second time. That's the review if you like. I played it twice in three days because it's that good. Go away and get it if you know what's good for you. Hyp...

I want to love Age of Decadence so much. I really do. It's a turn-based RPG set in the post-apocalyptic ruins of a collapsed empire reminiscent of ancient Rome, you say? Sounds bloody cool mate. Oh what's that...

SUPERHOT has been on everyone's radar for months now, and just recently saw big shiny full release, with Steam so you know it's a proper PC game for real boys and girls. It's also fun to type. It ...

Conquest of Elysium 4 is an awkward, frustrating, ugly experience with too many layers and not enough guidance to pry them apart. It's also a charming strategy roguelike with a complicated set of systems that t...

Some games promise a great adventure as soon as the introduction rolls. Jotun looks appealing even pre-purchase, with its vibrant promotional material and refreshing premise. It stars Thora, a young viking wa...

After the pleasant surprise that was The Force Awakens,  the itch for swashbuckling space adventure wormed itself into my skin like an alien parasite. Knights of the Old Republic ...

I bought Kingdom while I was waiting for another game to work through some server maintenance issues. Not only that, whilst waiting on a game I was bouncing off the walls excited to dive into. I had been made aware of Kingdom just a few day...

Hello, I'm a newly minted Grim Dawn fan, and I'd like to take a minute to talk about Grim Dawn - specifically it being A Good Action-Roleplaying-Game™ It's an appropriately mournful take on the genre, set in a pos...

Like a harsh Aurigan winter, the last DLC offering for Endless Legend left me feeling cold. Guardians was fine. Just that really. The extra content was nice but the asymmetry and depth found in the base game just wasn't ther...

I bought Subnautica as a challenge for myself. See, I'm fucking terrified of the ocean, the deep sea. I just can't shake this primal fear of things in the gloom, writhing, slithering, grasping. When I see photos of divers sw...

i thought about doing this review without any punctuation as a cute joke but then I changed my mind cause look its already annoying you isnt it its difficult to read dont you think wouldnt you hate it if the whole thing was like this you w...

Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a good game, but it's relative goodness is not the subject of discussion. Rather, after finishing the game last night, I had a long think about some of its weakest points, and similarly shaky moments in other...

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is a fucking stupid, janky, uninintuitave video game. It's got too many ideas, too little guidance, and far too much exposition. It's also host to one of the longest played hours on my Steam, and one...

For me, Apotheon is that feeling of having missed out on something great for the longest time, and being very annoyed about it. This feeling is thankfully offset by the sensation of playing an absolutely delightful ...

Did you ever wonder what it would it would look like if the Starks in Game of Thrones didn't just take wolves as their sigil, but actually were wolves? Well your search is over my friend, for I give you Armello! All joking a...

Prior to deciding I wasn't really into numerical scores in reviews, Endless Legend was the only game I ever scored ten out of ten. I did this only because I loved it so, not from any objective perfection on the part of the g...

Westerado is basking in style. It's a pixel-art spaghetti western featuring a mysterious masked bandit, shady wild-west business deals, and a whole lot of six-shooter shootouts. It's absolutely gorgeous and is accompanied by a co...

This is more of a 'thoughts on' than a review and assumes a level of familiarity with the base game. So I love Dark Souls. I played through the first game five or six times in a row, and while it didn't have quite the same i...

Some games are expansive, engrossing, and deep as a well. Others are pure popcorn; cheap and shallower than my now cold coffee. Rampage Knights falls into the latter camp in much the same way as an anvil falls onto Wile...

Ori and the Blind Forest really has one of the most engrossing openings I've ever seen. It's beautifully coloured, masterfully animated, and dramatic, adorable, or mournful as the occasion demands. It doesn't so much as...

Not much about Hotline Miami 2 is easy. It isn't easy to play, it isn't easy to understand, it isn't even easy to look at. It's lurid, sweaty, and grimy. The closest thing it seemed to have to a proper protagonist is a self-...

The strength of many adventure games lies in building familiarity with a densely packed game-world, and getting a sense of how that world works by touching and tinkering your way across it. The world of Tormentum is particul...

I'm a defensively minded player. I tend to turtle in strategy games, in shooters there's no greater joy for me than holding a chokepoint and gunning down foolishly aggressive opponents, and yet tower defense has never really appealed ...

The Mount and Blade series has eaten far more of my time than any other except perhaps The Elder Scrolls or Civilization. All of the installments are currently on sale on Steam for around twenty-four hours at ...
