  • Bonfire Peaks Review

    Bonfire Peaks from Corey Martin is an isometric, 3D voxel puzzle game about bidding farewell to your past. As a Sokoban-based puzzler (think of any crate-pushing puzzle you’ve done in a video game; that’s Sokoban), Bonfire Peaks has found a suitable home amongst publisher and co-producer Draknek & Friends’...
  • Axiom Verge 2 Review

    What is immediately noticeable about Axiom Verge 2 is that it breaks from the traditional Metroidvania mould by…actually having colour. Instead of the dark, brooding, claustrophobic settings often associated with the genre (and the first Axiom Verge for that matter), Axiom Verge 2 takes place in an open-air alternate...

  • Monster Sanctuary 1280x720

    Monster Sanctuary Review (Switch)

    Over the Christmas period there wasn’t a game I played more than Monster Sanctuary. Putting my festive annual leave to good use, there was no better way to spend it than sinking countless hours into a JRPG-inspired monster-collecting adventure. Monster Sanctuary is a mash-up of platforming, fetch quests and...

    Hidden Through Time Review (Switch)

    When I first heard about Hidden Through Time I was quite excited. Here was a game that was putting a spin on Where’s Wally, by sending you on journey through the ages to find hidden objects instead of the famous white-and-red evader. The idea of building your own maps...
