Puuba’s The Weaponographist is apparently the answer to what if the original Legend of Zelda was fused with Smash T.V., with a bit of The Binding of Isaac and added anachronism for good measure. Utilising a simple premise, lightweight gameplay, and balanced challenge, The Weaponographist certainly is different from its…
Read MoreAbout an hour into my time with Quarries of Scred, I decided to look at the game’s stats page and see what my progress has been like. To my surprise, sixty minutes into the game I had made one hundred attempts into the game’s randomly generated mines. Published by Surprise…
Read MoreThe point-and-click adventure genre has seen some solid releases over the last year, and Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is another solid example of the genre. The dark, dystopian atmosphere is well-realised through the handful of hours it takes to reach the story’s conclusion. A conclusion however, that did its…
Read MoreAlmost everyone remembers playing with sliding puzzles when they were young. Those small, square puzzles with pieces that slid to reveal a picture were anywhere from so easy a toddler could do it to so mind-bendingly frustrating nobody could figure out what needed to go where in order to solve…

Read MoreConvoy is one of those games that’s not entirely unique – it’s been defined as a mix between Mad Max and FTL: Faster Than Light since its Kickstarter inception – and on the surface level it could easily be passed off as another ‘clone’; yet, in doing so, you would…
Read MoreI’m not normally the one to jump the gun at trying out a horror game, or anything that could potentially provide jump scares or even just suspense. Yet, here I found myself playing a game that could realise all these fears at once. From the moment that I stepped into…
Read MoreBlue Estate is an rails shooter much in the vein of the the House of the Dead series. It is also based on a comic by Viktor Kalvachev & Kosta Yanev. Now, I have never read the comics so I can’t say if this game stays true to the story…
Read MoreDreadbit’s Ironcast is a wonderfully zany mix of elements and gameplay mechanics from different genres. A sort of Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure meets Super Puzzle Street Fighter II, with a steampunk aesthetic, some complex resource-management thrown in, and turn-based RPG mechanics, Ironcast is as addictive and engaging as…
