REVIEW: Stranger Things 3: The Game
The upside down shenanigans of Hawkins, Indiana ignites sparks of adventure in us all, evoking desire for nostalgic companionship and retro aesthetics that BonusXP have compacted into 16-bit style. Defending the town against that pesky Mind Flayer from the comfort of your pillow fort has…
REVIEW: Sea of Solitude
Sea of Solitude was first announced by Berlin-based studio Joi-Mei Games back in 2015, it was picked up my EA as part of their originals program. It’s an adventure-based third-person game that follows Kay, on a journey of loneliness and sadness as she confronts her…
REVIEW: Villainous
Disney villains are perhaps one of the best things about their movies, they are always so interesting and so varied. From the Evil Stepmother in Snow White to Jafar in Aladdin, all have their unique style, personality and vendettas; and this is the route Disney…

REVIEW: Awesome Pea
There’s a cutesy retro look to Awesome Pea that somewhat belies its nature as a super-tough, unforgiving platformer. With the default graphical settings making the game look like a monochrome Game Boy game, albeit with a distorted CRT filter (the CRT filter can be removed,…

Strongly evoking memories of 80s arcade classic Choplifter, which saw players controlling a helicopter rescuing POWs from various side-scrolling warzones – and which had a number of outstanding computer and console ports too – Dustoff Heli Rescue II is a game that should be immediately…
REVIEW: Box Align
Sometimes, puzzle games can be a little too complicated for their own good; layering on not just mechanics but also overly complicated menus or design elements. There’s a very pleasing minimalism to Box Align, a puzzle game by QUByte Interactive. Upon starting the game, you’re…
