Video Game Review: Unpacking (Xbox)
As I mentioned in my review of Townscaper yesterday, Game Pass is an absolute boon for gamers and indie studios alike, with games added to the service that have been […]
Video Game Review: Townscaper (Xbox)
There’s a lot to be said for Game Pass and the fact that it allows you to try out smaller, perhaps more experimental titles that you otherwise wouldn’t have taken […]

Retro-inspired, pixel art sci-fi shooter Last Soul by Wulum Games is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. With a wide range of mechanics, addictive gameplay, beautiful art design and a great […]

Review: Unspottable
Local multiplayer games are nowhere near as prevalent these days as they were in the era before online gaming. When big publishers realised that taking multiplayer gaming online meant a […]
Kickstarter Spotlight: Fishkeeper
I’ve owned aquariums a few times in my life; despite the maintenance and upkeep, it’s generally very rewarding, relaxing and even therapeutic to take care of fish in a well […]
Review: What Comes After
When Vivi falls asleep on a busy train after a long day, she wakes up on what is seemingly the same train – but it’s on a very different journey, […]
Review: Shotgun Farmers
Available now on PC, Mac and Xbox One Given how popular first person shooters are – and how lucrative the big budget, triple-A FPS games are – it’s perhaps surprising […]
Review: Sounds of Eden
Back in the early 90s – when I was in my mid-teens – my peer group and I were having our minds expanded by all of the non-mainstream music we were discovering – we started by finding decidedly non-chart friendly alternative rock and electronic music; genres such as industrial for example. We all ended up going in different directions in […]
Review: Masky
Available Now on: Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Switch, Windows – Version Played: Switch – Price: $4.99/£4.49 – Published by: Forever Entertainment There’s an incredible variety of indie games available on the Switch – and the fact that they can be played either on the TV or in portable mode means that there’s room for all kinds of titles, big or […]
Review: Fidel Dungeon Rescue
Available on Steam, itch.io – also Mac and iOS Though I’ve covered big budget blockbuster titles here a number of times, I find smaller, more inventive and unusual indie titles to be far more interesting to cover. Fidel Dungeon Rescue is a game that deserves an awful lot more recognition than it currently has. A cute little roguelike in which […]
Review: Pac-Man 256
Though it’s been around for some time – having been released in 2015 for Android and iOS – I decided to reacquaint myself with Pac-Man 256 following the 40th birthday of the perenially popular yellow dot-muncher. It’s a superb little game; essentially a Pac-Man meets Crossy Road endless runner (which is no coincidence – Hipster Whale developed both Crossy Road […]
Review: Creature Street
Available now on PC (itch.io – pay what you want) It seems like everyone and their anthropomorphic dog is playing Animal Crossing right now, which is great. Though Animal Crossing has always been popular – I’ve been a huge fan since 2004 – with the arrival of Animal Crossing: New Horizons at a time when many people have an unusually […]

Review: Can Androids Pray: variation_Blue
Version Played: Switch (Also available on: Mac, WIndows, Xbox One) – Published by: aPriori Digital It’s very rare that a game can really make you ponder the deeper, more existential questions that sometimes nag at us in our more contemplative moments. Perhaps even more unexpected is that the rather philosophical game in question would be set during a conversation between […]
Review: Little Inferno
Version Played: PC (also available on Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Switch, Wii U) I remember working my way through World of Goo, when it became available as a downloadable game on the Wii (hey kids, remember the Wii?) in 2008. It was a game that was perfectly suited to the Wii’s controls, seeing you picking up and placing blobs in […]
