The Company of Heroes Collection Nintendo Switch Review
As someone who really go into video games between the mid ’90s to late-00s, I’m a huge fan of the recent flurry of console-friendly ports of classic PC titles. Early 3D action-adventures, point-and-click classics, and real-time-strategy games – with older…
GYLT Xbox Review – Morals to be Learnt
GYLT is a game I admire more than I enjoyed, though that’s mostly down to me being an older, jaded survival-horror fan, and not the target demographic. I say that as GYLT feels like the perfect “gateway game” into a…

The Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice Edition Xbox Series Review
A few months and several patches from now, The Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice Edition might end up the definitive way to play Obsidian’s excellent, if traditional RPG – even if some of the divisive visual changes remain. This outsourced “remastering”…
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous PlayStation Review
Having started gaming in earnest on a PlayStation 1, hunkering down in front of a PC for several years to catch up on the complex joys of the Infinity Engine CRPGs, and then drifting back to consoles to better separate…
