Video by Matt S. Baldur’s Gate has been released on console for the first time, making its way to PS4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. That gave me the opportunity and excuse to play one of my favourite, most played games all over again. And, once again, I’ve been loving…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. The original Cat Quest was a game often described as “comfort food”. Its simple combination of grind-reliant action-RPG gameplay and an overload of cat puns made it adept at giving players small, frequent rewards. I distinctly remember being strung along through the colourful open world, helping…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Silk is what happens when a independent developer has a wildly ambitious idea, and the gonads to actually make it. Silk proudly proclaims that it is “50 times larger than Daggerfall!” and offers “three million square miles of uncharted terrain” to explore. That sounds impressive –…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. A couple of decades ago, a developer was given the task of taking the original Resident Evil and porting it to the Game Boy Color. Capcom wanted a portable version of its marquee title, and though everyone knew that there would need to be severe compromises…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Following in the steps of The Surge, The Surge 2 continues Deck13’s macabre and technological Soulsborne with a much larger scale than the first. Trapped in a quarantined city where people have gone mad and are ripping each other apart, you’ll have to find a way…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. On the one hand, I’m very glad to see Puzzle Quest is back. On the other hand, as much as I enjoy Puzzle Question, I’m getting sick of playing the same game over and over as the only truly great example of the series. First released…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. When Runic Games sadly closed its doors in 2017, we all thought we’d seen the end of the Torchlight franchise. The studio’s two action RPG titles were examples of impeccable polish – immensely playable, worked well in short bursts or long sessions, solo or in a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Sometimes a game comes along that is so derivative that it’s almost impressive that the developers would be that brazen about it. The developers of Vambrace: Cold Soul were so clearly inspired by Darkest Dungeon that they’ve made a fan version of Darkest Dungeon. Albeit a…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. Jeff Vogel, the (mostly) one-man band behind Spiderweb Software, has been around for decades now, as one of the rare survivors in the notoriously challenging indie space. Through this time he has succeeded by sticking to what he does best: ultra low-budget, well-written, deep RPGs, and…
