Winter Ember review – for the stealth purists

I’m a massive sucker for stealth games, especially now that they’re such a dying breed. If you’ve read my reviews before, you’ll know that these games are my bread and butter. I love them to bits, and it really sucks seeing them being trodden on and

Teardown review – Only a physics demo

The last time I truly played a voxel game was Cloudpunk, and if you’ve read that review then you’ll know my thoughts on how that went. Since then, voxel games have left a bad taste in my mouth. But Teardown? Now that was something that was sure to

Overwatch 2 preview – Same same, but… different?

Overwatch – what a mammoth of a game. The game that truly kickstarted the hero-shooter genre, beloved by millions, and one that has had a sequel delayed for god knows how long. If you’re like me you’ve been watching that Overwatch 2 trailer on YouTube every few months, reminding

Abermore review – Dishonored from Wish

Riders Republic review – A one-trick pony

There are only a few games that I can think of that fully immerse me in the experience. Usually, these are horror games and VR games. While everything else either makes me happy to play or feels rewarding, there are only a few games outside of those genres that make

Riders Republic preview – Made for adrenaline junkies

Games like Riders Republic make me wish I was a world-class athlete that would lead in events like snowboarding or mountain cross. I always hang out for these kinds of thrill-seeking events when, say, the Olympics are on. Because I know that it would take years upon years to truly

Aragami 2 review – Working formulas are overrated

It’s sad every time I’m reminded by newer generation stealth games that methodical stealth is dead; buried in a shallow grave by developers who have decided to move on to fast-paced, action-orientated games with a hint of stealth. Aragami 2 is no different in this regard, a highly
