Yacht Club Games sails again

Yacht Club Games kind of surprised everyone with a spiritual Link's Awakening successor in the form of Mina the Hollower. Which is looking just perfect.

Vampire Survivors (PC)

It looks like an old Flash-game and to a certain extent it plays like one too. Just move around dodging enemies and projectiles, while picking up gems to level …

Blasphemous (PS4)

"Never read the comments" is the unofficial creed of the Internet. It's bound to bring you misery and unhappiness. And so it cast me into the depths of …

A playdate with Playdate

Elden Ring (PS5)

Proclaimed game of the year before the year well and truly started, it's maybe a bit redundant to write… well, anything about Elden Ring. Doubly so as I didn't …

LEGO’s Optimus Prime set is one chunky bot! Was awesome to build some of the parts only to realise how they would fit in and convert in the complete build. …

I like Streets of Rage 4, I really do, but the game is a bit dogged down by its technicalities. The aggressive specials-cost-rally-HP system isn't too …

Rescuing a tabaxi

A simple rescue takes a lethal turn. Being ambushed by some wolf-men (don’t call ‘em werewolves) is definitely a bit more than we bargained for.

Tom Clancy's Skull and Bones

I absolute adore branding in video games. It’s one of the main reasons why I rate the WipEout series as high as I do. I think I felt something close to love …
