-
Time for some space-based scraps and scrap dealing.
-
Not perfect, but a lot better.
-
This game is amazing – but I really wish I had the PC version instead.
-
This is a game you watch, rather than play. And that’s fine if you’ve never seen the anime it’s based on – but if you have, get ready for some deja vu.
-
The adventures of a bumbling assassin.
-
Hollow Knight is one of the best Metroidvania games I’ve ever played, and a remarkable result for a first-time developer.
-
This acclaimed visual novel from the makers of the Zero Escape series received a perfect score from Famitsu magazine back in 2008 – and now it’s finally available in English.
-
PlayStation VR has entered The Manor, and it’s flippin’ amazing.
-
Call of Cthulhu is a pleasingly atmospheric take on Lovecraft’s creations – as long as you’re willing to overlook some of the rough edges.
-
A masterful return to form for a series that had lost its way.
-
The long-awaited Steel Rats is finally here, chainsaw wheels and vertical driving fully intact. But does it live up to its promise?
-
We’ve got two EU codes for the wonderfully OTT Steel Rats to give away, but you’ve only got a few days to enter, hurry!
-
Who the hell launches a new game a week before Red Dead Redemption 2?
-
The cult PC game Sunless Sea finally makes its way onto the PS4 with its Zubmariner DLC intact. Time to dive into the chilling waters of the Unterzee…
-
And this fantastic Metroidvania game is being released very soon indeed…
-
Chasm is a beautiful pixel-art Metroidvania with a dizzying array of enemies to fight.
-
Daedalic’s promising futuristic thriller falls disappointingly flat.
-
You know how people are saying Iconoclasts is one of the best games this year? Yeah, about that…
-
It’s Space Invaders! Again! But even though Super Destronaut DX throws in a few innovations, there’s not much to hold your attention for long.
-
This Rogue-like Metroidvania is rock hard but thoroughly enjoyable. Reanimated corpses have never been so much fun.
-
The Gravity Rush 2 servers have shut down just a year and a half after the game’s release. I spent the last night sampling as much online stuff as I could.
-
With just two days to go until the server shutdown, I haven’t even scratched the surface of Gravity Rush 2’s online content.
-
Six years after its release, I’ve finally played Gravity Rush. And it’s an absolute belter.
-
Moonlighter is a dungeon crawler mashed up with a retail game – and it’s utterly fantastic.
-
It’s repetitive, admin-heavy and ridiculously sexualised, but for a small niche of players, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 could be a lot of fun.
-
This beautiful ‘micro-RPG’ from One Bit Beyond may look cute, but it holds a fearsome challenge. If your character dies, they’re gone for forever – and you lose almost everything.
-
State of Mind is a promising techno-thriller from point and click experts Daedalic Entertainment, with a distinctive low-poly look.
-
It feels like I only just got my PS4. I’m in no rush to splash out on a brand new console.
-
This golf-like puzzler for PS4, Switch and Vita is entertaining, but it feels out of place on the big screen.
-
Dandara is a challenging metroidvania title with a Brazilian twist – and the title character has a very unique way of getting about. No simple walking for this lady.
-
The Long Reach is an excellently written game in the vein of point and click adventures of old. But thankfully the days of pixel hunting are long past.
