2021 GOTY

Since December kicked off, #GOTY has been showing up on Twitter where there’s a trend of listing the best games of the decade. I won’t be following suit. This is a list of my top games throughout the year and reviewed on the site. You won’t see

Honourable Mentions For 2021

As you might have surmised from the title, none of these games feature as my 2021 GOTY. However, they’re all worthy of a list of their own as there are some corkers here. It’d be a disservice to the folk that made ’em. And no, I haven’t

Saturnalia Release Date Grows Near

It was just recently that I was thinking about Saturnalia and wondering how things were getting on. If it’s some sort of psychic ability that has now put a new trailer in my peripheral, then I’d best enter the lottery this week. In case you’re not familiar

Say No More And Tell Them To Get Their Own Coffee

There comes a time when you should say yes, when Studio Fizbin and Thunderful Publishing want you to Say No More. That ‘yes’ is because it’s getting closer to a launch, albeit in Spring 2021. Heading to the Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and iOS, you play the part of

Taxi Chaos Is A Unique Taxi Driving Arcade Game Never Seen Before

What will they think of next? A crazy taxi driver belting through town picking up passengers and dropping them off before the time limit runs out sounds like a winner. What’s this wacky game called? Taxi Chaos. Heading to the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in 2021, this

21 Titles From My Steam Wishlist. Are Any Missing From Yours? Add 'Em For 2021

Looking at my Steam Wishlist, I realise that almost everything that’s listed isn’t out yet (at least when typing this). It is perhaps the opposite for my Nintendo eShop wishlist, reserved for overpriced games that await a hefty discount. It got me thinking for a whole 30 seconds:

Super Meat Boy Forever On Switch And PC, All Meat, No Vegetables

Happy to go on record in saying that Super Meat Boy is one of my all-time favourite games and stoked for Super Meat Boy Forever. While waiting for a 90GB game to install, when the fam are out and about or simply because I want to indulge in some quality

BROK The InvestiGator Prologue Preview: Al E. Gator

Is COWCAT mad – mixing up genres to disorientate us? Mad or genius, you can decide for yourself, but BROK The InvestiGator Prologue is an intriguing title that deserves to be on your gaming radar. First, no questions asked, it’s a point and click. But it’s also a beat

The sort of news I like to write about, Jennifer Wilde Unlikely Revolutionaries is an upcoming supernatural adventure that features the ghost of Oscar Wilde and is heading to Steam.

You’ve heard of Metroidvania, but have you heard of Ratoidvania? No? Well, get yourself acquainted with Curse of the Sea Rats as it’s coming to PC and consoles next year.

Take your place a-round (geddit?) the table in King Arthur Knight’s Tale which has a confirmed Early Access release date on the 12th of January 2021 for PC, later on, the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. As a qualified knight, I’ll be aiming to join these early

Pig Skater Simulator Heads To The Skate Pork (Ha.)

While the other pigs were eating roast beef and poo-pooing social distancing rules at the local market, this awesome piggy was grinding its rump as if it were Tony Hawk reincarnated (if he was no longer with us). If you read the title ‘Pig Skater Simulator‘, you know it’s

Martha Is Dead Heading To The PS5

Not the jolliest of titles, but Martha Is Dead, a title I’m looking forward to playing on the PlayStation 5, has just been showcased at the Golden Joysticks Awards 2020. There was a hint of next-gen as it was already announced by LKA and Wired Productions that it was

Ocean's Heart Preview

There are few retro RPG’s that would go on my watchlist, but this Ocean’s Heart preview is one of them. It’s an upcoming title from developer Max Mraz, published by Nordcurrent and will be available on Steam. Don’t get excited just yet as it doesn’t

Incantamentum PC Preview

After seeing Incantamentum on Twitter, I immediately downloaded the demo and had every intention to play it when life got in the way; reviews of time-demanding games, kids wanting to be fed (mine), and general things that fellow humans do. With a bit of time on my hands, i.e.

Underground Garage Is Above Board...?

Underground Garage is as common as saying underwater fish, but watching the trailer insinuates that this garage may be implemented in some questionable practices: neon and nitro. ‘A bit like the Need For Speed series’ might be your first impression, but to me, it’s got Drift21 all over it,

I Am Your Lawyer: Get Your Alibi Ready For Steam

It’s quite surprising that there aren’t more games like I Am Your Lawyer, considering the number of films that end up in a courtroom. Quite frankly, I’m tired of these segments, but that’s the opposite when it comes to an IP such as this. Games Incubator

Osteoblasts Rising From The Dead In February 2021, Demo Out Now

When I saw Osteoblasts as a title, all I could think about was it was an osteopath simulator where you’ve gone mad with a plasma rifle, shooting skeletons resurrected by a necromancer. Note to self: steal own idea. Nope, this is a dungeon crawler, about skelewags still, so that’

Back to Horror Monday’s and we get news on Silence Channel, a horror adventure from Lexip Games, who also made a game I’ve been stuck on for some time, Dark Room. Like the game before it, the visuals are fantastic and have that realism to it that makes

The Uncertain Light At The End Uncovers The Disappearance Of Humanity

The Uncertain Light At The End is one of those titles that live up to its namesake. I’ve been a little uncertain about the exact premise of the game, but I’m certain that I want to play this at the earliest opportunity. Out now on PC and coming
