It’s been more than three years since the last issue Saga, but Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ widely (and deservedly) praised sci-fi epic will soon be back from hiatus. The double-length Saga #55 is due out on 26 January 2022, kicking off a new arc after #54 ended things …
I wish I’d been as into shmups in 1997 as I am today, because playing G-Darius when it was brand new must have been absolutely mind-blowing. Even as I play it for the first time in 2021, in the form of a fairly rudimentary HD remaster on a little handheld …
You could be forgiven for never having heard of Xuan Yuan Sword, given that, until now, it’s had almost no international presence—a couple of poorly-translated multilingual Steam releases and Asia-region versions with English language support being the full extent.

Set in a hellish amusement park, Yurukill sees convicted thrown into a …
Blue Reflection was, easily, one of the most mesmerising games of the last generation. Intimate, heartfelt introspection on depression and trauma, seen through the empowering lens of the magical girl genre and the utter, absolute beauty of Mel Kishida’s character designs is a recipe for something truly special. It’s also …
Get ready for a relaxed, playful golf adventure that’s “all about the journey, not the driver”, with A Little Golf Journey set to land on Nintendo Switch and PC on October 14. A Little Golf Journey combines diorama courses, puzzles, simple controls, and a story about bringing colour back to …
