Laika: Aged Through Blood Will Be Out For Vengeance... Soon

A motorbike Metroidvania? What an unusual concept Laika: Aged Through Blood is. Motorvania, you say? Very clever Brainwash Gang. Very clever. It’s a great idea, it looks super, super slick, and it’ll be coming to PC and consoles. Soon. Published by Thunderful, our adventure takes place in a

The Gunk Gets A Photo Op

What’s this? The Gunk is getting its first update from Image and Form Games and it’s a new game feature and localisation? It might be time to check for the Golden Hour and go back in to get some pics. In the game you play salvager Reni, along

The Gunk Review: Pumpkin Flavoured

What I don’t like about The Gunk is the lack of HUD or map to indicate where to go. So you mean exploration actually means me looking around an alien planet rich in lush, vibrant vegetation and finding the right path? That’s quite assuming, isn’t it? Starting

Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue PC Review: Get Out Of The Kitchen

Firegirl: Hack ‘n Splash Rescue is here, and it’s a game I’ve been hotly anticipating since its announcement and after the playable demo on Steam. Alas, having anticipation for a title means high expectations. As much as I’d like to think I’m well-balanced, I had high

White Shadows Review (PC): Of Wolves And Ravens

The first thoughts of White Shadows revolved around German expressionism, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Metropolis. They’re both pertinent to the aesthetics – not just the monochrome factor but also the title cards. However, you want a game review, not some arty-farty assessment, right?  Those references might chuff Monokel

The Gunk Release Date This Month

What kind of news site is this if I found out about The Gunk from another site last week? That’s my impression of an internal monologue from a reader of this site, not you, when they see some ‘old’ news about this upcoming release. You might have seen this

Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue Delayed On Console, Out This Month On PC

Bad news, everyone: Firegirl: Hack ‘n Splash Rescue has been delayed on consoles until next year. Good news, everyone: it’s still coming to Steam this month. One of those titles on my most wanted list, the demo for this rogue-lite arcade firefighter did not disappoint. Unfortunately, that demo is

White Shadows: Once Upon A Midnight Dreary

Ever since seeing Thunderful Games’ White Shadows, I’ve been drooling about the visuals. Yeah, that’s pretty shallow, but I’m a fan of black and white movies and art stripped of colour. And judging by the lighting effects, this is the kind of art I like. A platform

Curious Expedition 2 Highlands of Avalon DLC Out Now!

An indie that defines adventure and exploration, in my arrogant opinion, Curious Expedition 2 gets new content: the Highlands of Avalon DLC, out now on PC with the Switch update to follow in 2022. From Maschinen-Mensch and Thunderful Games, we now have access to a new island type, tiles, mechanic

The Best Thunderful Games Available Right Now

Yesterday Thunderful Games had their first digital showcase, Thunderful World, as presented by Luke Skywalker. No, that’s is his name. He’s real. We all have our go-to developers and publishers, and Thunderful genuinely are one of my favourites, having covered a good deal of their titles of late.

Say No More: Say No More Is The Ultimate Self-Help 'Secret' For The Workplace - PC Review

There’s no way I’m not milking ‘No’ in this Say No More review [! intentionally removed]. If I didn’t, then I wouldn’t have learned anything from this life-changing experience. Say No! More is a delightful cocktail of Danny Wallace’s Yes Man, The Invention of Lying, and

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

Lonely Mountains Downhill Eldfjall Island DLC

Let’s make it clear with this Eldfjall Island DLC review that I’m neither a relative nor employee of Megagon Industries or Thunderful Publishing – let alone affiliated with any other game-related business, but I love Lonely Mountains Downhill.

Lonely Mountains Downhill Eldfjall Island DLC Out Now On PS4

Lonely Mountains Downhill is a contender for GOTY for me, so pleased to see that the Eldfjall Island DLC is out today for the PS4 after coming out on the Switch first. If you haven’t played this yet, I highly recommend that you do – especially if you are a
