Kitty Tactics: As Wide as a Puddle, as Deep as an Ocean – PC Review
When I first came across Kitty Tactics, I figured it would be an enjoyable, albeit shallow, experience for under £3.

Not that I condone it, but a tactics game centred around kittens fighting is certainly an intriguing premise.…

Sir Lovelot: A Punishingly, Playful Platformer – Switch Review
If I had to describe Sir Lovelot in one word, I’d use “playful”. Not only does it adhere to its stylised, fairy-tale-esque visuals that pop on screen as you bounce from platform to platform, but it also encapsulates the jovial nature of Sir Lovelot’s gameplay. From dashing to dying, Sir Lovelot treats each moment as…

Everhood: A Psychedelic Nightmare – PC Review
The line between art and entertainment is tentative at best. While it would be easy to argue that titles such as Call of Duty fit into the entertainment category rather snugly, it would be just as fitting to argue that their fervent determination to achieve realistic graphics is, in itself, a form of art.

Hack Grid: Simple Game, Not So Simple Puzzles – PC Review
Ever miss the days of the CRT monitor? Do your ears miss the kinds of music that would come from a Nintendo Gameboy? Can’t get enough of sliding block puzzles, but would you rather they were themed as an 8-bit hacking minigame? If this sounds like you (you may be the most niche person I’ve…

Arcades are something that everybody has enjoyed at one time or another in their lives.
