Review: Old Man’s Journey
As far as I’m concerned, the age-old debate over whether or not games could be art was settled long ago. Though the vast majority of mainstream, big budget games would […]
Board Game Review: Cat Crimes
Though I’ve filed this article under ‘board games’, Cat Crimes isn’t a tabletop game in the traditional sense. It’s more of a solitaire logic puzzle, though of course multiple players can combine they grey matter and attempt to solve the 40 puzzles in the rather nicely packaged collection. What players will be looking to solve are a variety of ‘crimes’ […]
Mobile Game Review: Green
Version Played: Android – Price: Free (ad supported) I’m not quite sure how Bart Bonte’s games have passed me by until now, but Green has opened my eyes to what […]
Review: Glass Masquerade
Version Played: Switch (also available on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Mac) Billed as a relaxing, stress-free puzzle game, Glass Masquerade sees players constructing beautiful, stained glass, art deco pictures […]
Board Game Review: Exit: The Mysterious Museum
Every time I write about a game in the Exit: The Game series of escape-room-at-home type experiences, I’m setting myself a ridiculous challenge. How on earth do I talk about it without spoiling the contents or giving away what clever little puzzles lay within this particular box of fiendish challenges? If you’ve read my blog for a while, you’ll know […]
Game Pass Adventures
It’s time for another one of my semi-regular looks at what’s become an absolutely essential service for me – Xbox Game Pass. I know it’s something I go on about […]
Review: Depixtion
Version Played: Switch – Price: $7.99/£TBC I first played and reviewed Depixtion last year, albeit on PC. I’m pleased to say that it’s as good on Switch as it was […]
Board Game Review: Exit: The Haunted Rollercoaster
I’ve written about the Exit games before, but never about a specific game from the rather extensive range that’s currently available. There’s a reason for that; as Escape Room-esque experiences that you can only play once, they rely on players knowing as little as possible before they start the game. This makes it extremely difficult to talk about each one […]
Mobile Game Review: A Lonely Alpaca
Version Played: Android – Price: Free (ad & donation supported) If it feels like only yesterday that I was talking about mobile games that can struggle to find an audience […]
Mobile Game Review: Lab Chaos
Available Now on iOS & Android – Free (in-app purchases available) There’s a real dismissal of mobile games as ‘not real games’ or as bottomless pits of monetisation, even among those in the gaming community who would usually be considered – or consider themselves – as very open minded. Though there is an awful lot of shovelware and titles designed […]
Review: OmoTomO
Version Played: Switch – Out Now (£8.99/$9.99) – Published by: Forever Entertainment Puzzle games can go one of two ways for me; they’re either extremely frustrating or incredibly compelling. I’m pleased to report that OmoTomO falls into the latter category. A puzzle game featuring two snake-like plant creatures trying to make their way to the pots filled with water in […]
Game Pass Adventures
Though Jurassic World: Evolution is still taking up most of my gaming time – though how long that’ll last I’m not sure, given that the late stages of the game […]
Super Co-Op Adventure
Available now on PC (itch.io) – Price: Pay-What-You-Want If you’ve been reading my articles for a while, you’ll know that I love finding little known, clever indie titles and trying to give them a bit of exposure (and if you’re a new reader, welcome – I hope you like what you find on my site!). Super Co-Op Adventure is one […]
The Secret of Gillwood – PC
I can see the orb. It glows brilliantly in the darkness, above and beyond where my character is located. It’s teasing me – I should be able to get it, […]
