Review: Quinterra (PC)
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of board games and, naturally, turn-based strategy games. There’s something immensely satisfying about playing a game at your own pace, measuring up […]
Review: Battleship
UbiSoft and Hasbro teamed up in 2016 to bring some of the board game publisher’s best known tabletop games to consoles. With a long and seemingly close partnership with EA […]

Review: Donut County
I find myself increasingly bored by big scale, so-called triple-A open world collectathons in which the entire experience is diluted by endless icons dotted around gargantuan, intimidating maps.
