I’ve seen a lot of commentary about Agents of Mayhem being, in essence, a single-player hero shooter. Indeed, it was this discussion that got me interested in a game I’d otherwise paid very little attention to. I was sold on the idea after reading just the first line of Kotaku’s …
On Saturday (or Sunday, depending on your timezone), Square Enix launched a new in-game event in Final Fantasy XIV. “The Rising: A Missing Minstrel and a Perilous Pest Problem” – or simply “The Rising 2017” – is a celebration of the fourth anniversary of the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: …
Yukie: A Japanese Winter Fairy Tale is a haunting interactive folk tale, and another example of what can be done with RPG Maker and a bit of creativity. Despite the limitations of RPG Maker as a development tool, a lot of folks have been able to produce some fascinating games …
Matterfall is the latest example of Housemarque’s mastery of twin-stick shooters, this time combined with platformer mechanics – and it works wonders. Housemarque has earned a reputation as one of the finest developers of twin-stick shooters, and rightfully so. They’ve got this classic genre down to a fine art, making …
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a game I’ve been wanting for a long time. Chloe Frazer has been the star of the series in my eyes ever since she was introduced in the Uncharted 2, so a Chloe-led game seemed obvious. Instead, Naughty Dog seemed to forget about her, pushing …

Although it’s almost certainly a coincidence, the timing of the release of Collar X Malice couldn’t be more apt. Particularly in America, but across the globe, there’s a growing distrust of law enforcement by the very people the law is meant to protect. We’re seeing fascist movements gaining prominence, civil …
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is a breath of fresh air. In a world where every other game is an open-world busywork-a-thon for no reason other than because it’s the flavour of the decade, Yonder comes along to show what makes the genre actually work. It’s a game that gives …
I have a weird relationship with tactical RPGs. I don’t dislike them as such, but most of the time when I enjoy a TRPG it’s in spite of the genre’s unique qualities, rather than because of them. I’ve played plenty and enjoyed plenty of them, but I tend to find …
