Don’t fix what isn’t broken — The Weaponographist review

Concrete jungle — hands-on with Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy

My first hour with Operation Abyss was spent lazily reading over screen after screen of text, trying to best absorb the heavy amounts of info dumped at the outset of the game. My first dungeon was similar, trouncing enemy after enemy until I reached the correct square in the grid

Yooka-Laylee and the importance of retro revivals

Over a decade ago, I lost something important to me. As a teenager, I didn’t quite realize it at the time, but a game studio that had very much shaped my gaming preferences and was largely responsible for my gaming passions in the first place was about to go
