Ultimate Fishing Simulator – Preview
Good news, Switch fishing fans! Though there are already a few alternatives to the abomination that is Go Fishing 3D, there’s a highly regarded PC fishing game – Ultimate Fishing […]
Claybook – Switch
There’s something incredibly pleasing about playing with clay. The feel, the smell, the endless possibilities that come with just a few different coloured lumps of squishy goodness. There’s a magic that’s hard to capture in games, mostly because the majority of the joy inherent in playing with clay comes from the tactile nature of it – it’s difficult to translate […]
The Adventures of Elena Temple – Switch
I’ve looked at two of GrimTalin’s releases prior to this one – both Rollin’ Eggz and Cake Laboratory are appealingly colourful games with polished, colourful visuals and a single-mindedness in […]
Games of My Life: Shadowrun – SNES
1993 was an amazing year for me. Halfway through the year, I turned 16; shortly before that, I did work experience – a two week stint as a dogsbody in […]
Games You May Have Missed: Freedom Planet
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; if that’s the case, then Sonic the Hedgehog must be feeling incredibly flattered by Freedom Planet. Though initial impressions – from the lengthy, fully voice-acted intro sequence, which is presented in the same pixel art style as the full game – don’t seem to suggest that Freedom Planet is such […]
Indie Game Developers and Publishers: Can I help?
There’s a deluge of games released every single day on a huge variety of formats and digital storefronts. Though it’s great to have so much content to choose from, it presents an unfortunate problem – discoverability on digital storefronts is a major issue. Most gaming websites seem to concern themselves with only AAA games or relatively big budget indies; where […]
Peanut – PC – First Look
Peanut is a cutesy platformer for Steam, which released this week. Though I’d tried an earlier version, I’ve only just managed to give the release build a go. Peanut is the story of the eponymous corgi, whose BAE (yes, repeatedly referred to as Peanut’s BAE in game!) needs rescuing from the villain of the piece, Veronica Vet. There’s a short […]
You won’t believe what this game is called (WARNING – NSFW) – Steam
Imagine my surprise when I got the email. The game name, proudly displayed right there in the subject! So why am I being so coy about it? Why the innocuous screenshot to open the article with? Why use the most clickbaity of clickbait headlines? Well…you’ll soon see why. Ladies and gentlemen, I present: I swear I’m not making this up. […]
Vasilis – PC
Coming across like an interactive version of the disturbing Eastern European cartoons – occasionally glimpsed late at night in the 80s, if you lived in the UK, on BBC 2 or Channel 4 – Vasilis is a point and click adventure set in a monochromatic city where the player, cast in the role of eponymous ex-teacher Vasilis, begins the game […]
Broforce – Game Review
There’s nothing quite like Broforce. Sure, there are other run and gun games out there – and there are plenty of heartfelt, nostalgic tributes to the 80s to be found. […]
Mr Boom’s Firework Factory – Steam – First Impressions
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the creator of Mr Boom’s Firework Factory with a request for me to take a look at the game. Having been somewhat bogged down with other games to review – which is a somewhat never-ending, but not unwelcome, problem, I’ve not been able to give Mr Boom’s Firework Factory as much of […]
