The Good Life: Boldly Bizarre & Beautiful Yet Boring – PC Review
I’m a huge proponent of life sim games. Some of my all-time favourite games – Lake and The friends of Ringo Ishikawa – are, or contain elements of, life sims. There is something wonderfully soothing about immersing yourself in a world that is so distinctly familiar yet dreamlike all the same. The Good Life takes…

Usurper: Soulbound – Early Access Preview
Dark Souls, Sekiro and Bloodborne have the reputation of being challenging games. They are unforgiving yet fair and this has attracted a huge number of fans hoping to ‘Git Gud’ and enjoy the lore. Playing them took me ages to even get halfway through, and sometimes, even completing them was never achieved. However, Usurper: Soulbound…

Moonglow Bay: Treading Familiar Waters – PC Review
I’ve played quite a few life sim games lately. From the immersive but broken Book of Travels to the arduously boring Monster Harvest, the latest offerings in the genre have failed to inspire me. So, when I came across the trailer for the stunning and vibrant Moonglow Bay, I hoped that it would revive my…

Book of Travels is the recently released TMORPG from indie developer Might And Delight. Players can explore the beautiful world of Braided Shore, uncover stunning vistas, mingle with NPCs and adventure to their hearts content.

Book Of Travels: Immersive, Beautiful, Broken – Early Access Preview
I have been eagerly anticipating the launch of Book of Travels for quite some time. Something about its smaller scale, warm sense of community and the promise of an adventure like no other intrigued me. I find myself obsessed with the Japanese concept of “Ichi-go ichi-e” or the idea of treasuring a once in a…

Grow: Song Of The Evertree: A Much Better Animal Crossing – PC 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…

Into The Pit: Nailbitingly Intense – PC Review
It would seem that nowadays games have shifted away from the straightforward formula of yesteryear. Instead, they are enticing players with epic narratives and staggeringly realistic visuals. While that may appeal to the majority of players, I have grown tired of this kind of game. Rather than having each character stop the action just to…
