Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles – Review
Solo developer Tomas Sala is back with a follow-up to The Falconeer, a game with a unique setting and a memorable aesthetic that dropped you into dogfights on the back of a giant eagle. Bulwark shares the same world but is less action-focused. It still pushes forward with innovation by sliding into the city-building genre.…

Change the story? – Saviorless – Review
Are you sitting comfortably? Because it’s time for a story, the story of a boy called Antar and a journey he is about to take. This is Saviorless.

Pneumata – Is this the horror game you’ve been waiting for?
A new horror game is on the horizon and not in the season that you would expect and I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to play a preview of Pneumata prior to its release. The section of the Pneumata I was allowed to play came from about 60% into the main story. This was set inside an…

Abduct Yourself A Farm In Sokobalien – Review
Sokobalien recently received a console port so I jumped at the chance to play this cute alien puzzle game from Cavylabs and MadCat Corp. Just like many extra-terrestrial beings, your little alien avatar has a penchant for stealing livestock from farmlands for some unknown, definitely un-susworthy reasons. As such, it is down to you to push the various…

Are Jigsaws the key to healing your trauma? Doctor Cat is here to find out – Review
Did anyone ever sit down to do a jigsaw puzzle and think “Boy I could do with some trauma while I try and do this”? If so, then the Doctor Cat has you covered! Doctor Cat is a jigsaw game at its heart but framed as, you are the titular Doctor, a psychologist, and the jigsaws are images of the patient’s trauma, while the…

Adaptations in all but name
With the breakout success of Helldivers II, I revisited the movie Starship Troopers. Aside from the main premise, shooting bugs on alien worlds, the two properties share quite a few more similarities, parodying the war economy satirising propaganda and “managed democracy” so much so that aside from the name Helldivers II is a perfect game adaptation of the movie…

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Review
It’s hard to be the second in a trilogy. You don’t have the same benefit of the world-building and exciting introduction of the first, nor the satisfying wrap-up and climax of the third. Add onto all of this being a reimagining of one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved games of all time, and…
