Gaia Beyond is criminally under-noticed. A gorgeous, 2D sandbox action-RPG with a strong emphasis in exploration, mining, ship-to-ship warfare, and trading. The Newtonian physics and Asteroids-like top-down combat is engaging, easy to learn, and downright fun. Though still...

Starcom: Nexus - PC Preview

Starcom: Nexus in its current pre-Early Access state is a massive tease. With about two hours of total content available to Early Access players, Starcom: Nexus (formerly Starcom 2) is so good that the little content available leaves you craving for more. Tossing you in command...
Vermintide 2: Shadows Over Bögenhafen - PC Review

When I originally heard the announcement of Vermintide 2 I had wondered why FatShark hadn’t continued on with simply adding onto Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. Then I saw it and I understood that graphically the sequel was that much nicer to look at. Keeping in that vein,...

Over the years Sega's Valkyria Chronicles series has seen some ups and some downs when it has come to getting releases into the hands of players. Having originally released in time where Western gaming had become dominant, this almost niche turn and real time based hybrid...
The Gardens Between - PC Review

The Gardens Between is the first title I've played from The Voxel Agents and I'm pleasantly surprised.
This is a fantastic abstract puzzle game that does not hold a players hand. It has little in the way of features that would ease some of the difficulty (like camera movement),...

Shadows: Awakening - PC Review

Shadows: Awakening is what I personally call a “dungeon-lite” style of game. Or perhaps a “Diablo-lite” would be a little more appropriate. Shadows: Awakening is essentially a bit of a “dumbed down” Diablo with a bit of a twist, which is great for new players in the genre,...
Immortal: Unchained - PS4 Review

Many may suggest that Immortal: Unchained is a "Soulsbourne clone" though I would argue that it is less a clone and more a standalone Sci-Fi-oriented action-RPG/third person shooter that takes the greater inspiration from the underappreciated CI Games/Deck13 title, Lords...

Ahhh … that salt-tinted and relaxing breeze off the ocean as waves lap at the sides of your trusty steamship. Sitting astern and sipping a margarita as you gaze longingly over the open sea as it calls to your sense of exploration and excitement. Trusted and loved by...
