Kickstarter: My Time at Sandrock
My Time at Portia was a critical and commercial hit when it launched on PC in 2018 and then later on consoles in 2019. It was a beautifully compelling, Studio […]
Kickstarter: The Star Legation
I first covered The Star Legation earlier this year after checking out the impressive and rather generously sized demo.

And why not? It’s about time; Reeves is reportedly one of the nicest and most down to earth people working in movies today, […]
Kickstarter: Sniper Elite – The Board Game
I was late to the party with Rebellion’s hugely popular, long-running Sniper Elite series. The first one I played was Sniper Elite 3; I was immediately blown away by the open nature of each stage and the huge variety on offer with which to cause gory, sometimes painfully detailed, chaos. The Sniper Elite games see players cast as – spoiler […]
