CrossSection | Not Enough People Are Talking About Final Fantasy VIII
For a release in 1999, it was a good fifteen years ahead of its time, and with a more cultured and patient audience, I’m sure it’ll resonate once more. For a low-cost gamble, It’ll potentially steal your heart, a small amount of SD card space, and a significant amount of free time.

REVIEW | Red Colony 2
I’m not sure where to start. Red Colony 2 is a kind of game that I’ve never really experienced before, and I can’t make my mind up on whether I enjoyed it or not…

REVIEW | Death’s Door
Ever wanted to be the Grim Reaper? Literally reaping souls into the hereafter? Then Deaths Door is the game for you. Except you’re a crow and not a Humanoid Skeleton.

REVIEW | The Touryst
Your dream holiday

REVIEW | Golazo
Golazo! is an arcade football game that evokes the early 90s in both its aesthetics and its game design. But sadly, it also evokes the imprecision and frustration of playing those older games as well.

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge. If you’re anything like me, the […]

REVIEW | GRID Autosport
The Switch isn’t a natural fit for simulation racing games. The Joy Cons, even the Pro Controller, don’t boast analog triggers, meaning that precision acceleration and braking can only be implemented (clumsily) with the second analog stick.

REVIEW | SteamWorld Dig 2
Calling a game a perfect sequel is not a subjective matter, it can be directly compared against existing material, and so a bar can easily be set for game devs to aim for. And this is precisely what Swedish developers ‘Image & Form’ did with their 2017 sequel ‘SteamWorld Dig 2’.

REVIEW | Sea King
So, let me get this straight. The game with an octopus in a bow tie isn’t very good? Shocking.
