To The Rescue!: A Fantastic Sim With A Lot Of Heart – PC Review
I was not particularly fond of my dog Bobby when my family and I first adopted him from a shelter. He was aggressive, constantly barking, humped my leg one too many times and tended to prefer peeing inside the house than in the garden. Shamefully, I ignored him. I let him be my mother’s problem…

Book Of Travels: Immersive, Beautiful, Broken – Early Access Preview

I have no intention of wasting your time. Grow: Song of the Evertree is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. Now I appreciate that there is some merit to the foreplay before a reviewer dives into what makes each and every facet of a truly exceptional game like Grow: Song of the Evertree…

Escape Simulator: Chaotic Fun Brimming With Potential – PC Review
I haven’t been to that many escape rooms. In fact, prior to playing Escape Simulator for review, I had never been to an escape room. There is something about being confined to a small space and being forced to solve a series of increasingly complex puzzles in order to escape that feels positively Saw-esque. And…

Ensuring that an introduction is nothing but brilliant is crucial to not only successfully establishing tone, theme and story, but also for engrossing and gripping the audience. For example, in a comedy, it is imperative to indicate the type of humour audiences can expect to see. Fortunately, the humorous, touching and incredibly witty Henchman Story…

Sonzai: Stylish Masterpiece Lives Up To Expectations – Demo Preview
The demo for Sonzai has been out for a little while now. While that would normally mean I’d be frantically scraping together a review to meet deadlines, with Sonzai I’ve purposefully taken my time.
