Review by Sam M. The Marvellous Miss Take is the embodiment of everything you wouldn’t expect from a stealth game. You’re not encouraged to take your time to plan out your heists, nor are you required to make as little noise as possible. Rather you take everything you’ve learnt and…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Rollers of the Realm is a pinball-RPG. Adding RPG elements to skill based gameplay can often lead to something that feels both weak and unfocused, with Destiny being a recent example, so I was more than wary upon hearing that developer Phantom Compass intended to add…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. What if you went to sleep but couldn’t wake up? What if, to make matters worse, you were trapped in a nightmare instead of a beautiful relaxing meadow? It’s hard to imagine this, but what if you put yourself there? Addiction is a hard thing to…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There is so very much to love about Legend of Grimrock 2, for it is dungeon crawling at its best on the PC. It mixes plenty of old school mechanics with a modernised interface to create a game that recalls what made me fall in love…

The latest title in the series comes with a fresh paint job, better tactical options and a brilliant skirmish mode but, not-so-deep-down, it’s still…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Having spent the better half of a year on Steam’s Early Access program, Wrack has finally made its way to a proper, full release. Billed as an old-style first-person shooter, Wrack follows in the footsteps of shooters old (Doom and Shadow Warrior, just to name a few),…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Dead Rising series didn’t resonate with me at first. The action through the first couple of games was repetitive and the slapstick zombie fare was good fun but didn’t sustain my interest. But Dead Rising 3 really piqued my interest when I played it on…
