Trail Out Review

If FlatOut and Destruction Derby had a baby, it would be the gorgeous but badly behaved Trail Out. The new game from developer Good Boys is the stuff that homages are made of; here’s a true arcade racing experience where physics come first, backed up by a terrific dose of mayhem, and sprinkled with a cheesy storyline. These ingredients are almost flawlessly mixed into one of my favorite racing games of recent years, a spectacle that is as enjoyable to play as it is to watch, a rare feat for any game.Grand Trail AutoFirst, some context to Trail Out and the

The Tarnishing of Juxtia Review

With The Tarnishing of Juxtia, developer Actual Nerds and publisher Mastiff aim to deliver the definitive Dark Souls of 2D platformers, a Metroidvania that will test both your skills and nerves. It’s a hauntingly beautiful pixel-art platformer where each fight is a challenge, each enemy a potential nemesis that requires careful planning and impeccable timing to eliminate. Sadly, its great ambitions fall short due to a flaw that makes it all a tad too frustrating.Darkest SoulsThe story touches upon the traditional grim tale of a corrupting evil force and how you must help a Goddess battle this Tarnishing. Although there are

Sanctions on Russian OP Accounts

Due to the ongoing level of fraud, account hijacking, point farming, multi-accounting and abuse of exploits with our website and content, we have sadly decided to close the door to new and existing users from the Russian Federation.During the conflict in Ukraine (which we personally and professionally stand strongly against), we had considered early on whether to put sanctions on Russian customers, ultimately we decided not to do this as we didn't feel comfortable putting restrictions on innocent, legitimate and anti-war residents that have been customers with us for many years, we were one of very few European companies who decided

Hell Pie Review

Hell hath no fury like Satan with a craving for birthday pie. Such is the premise for new platformer Hell Pie from developer Sluggerfly. This is the perfect time to warn everyone that despite its occasionally harmless cartoon appearance, Hell Pie includes violence, gore, wiggling devil Chef butts, unicorn sacrifices, and the worst of them all… bland Hawaiian t-shirts.It’s great then that this is a superb throwback to 3D action platformers of old, specifically those with a duo of heroes taking on the world, such as Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and the like. Hell Pie brings challenging, diverse, and

South of the Circle Review

South of the Circle is the perfect reason for another heated but healthy games versus movies debate. It’s a gripping adventure with some tremendous storytelling that flawlessly uses clever gaming devices to create a fantastic experience, one that no movie or book would ever be capable of; supported by fine performances from a group of renowned actors and quality motion capture, this is a game… no, scratch that, an experience that fans ought not miss.Love and (Cold) WarThe adventure starts with a dramatic event as Peter, a Cambridge academic and main character crashes down in Antarctica during the 1960's Cold War.

Fights in Tight Spaces Review

Fights pick no time nor place. They often come without warning and you’re going to need your best deck of skills, as your enemies won’t hold back. In this Fights in Tight Spaces review I’ll tell you how it is, without pulling any punches. This is my first and last pun about Ground Shatter’s stylish turn-based strategy and deck-building hybrid, with an emphasis on John Wick-level shenanigans and an immeasurable number of blood splatters… But thankfully with less dog cruelty.Paint the Town RedThe first thing that will jump straight at you – apart from a clenched fist, that is – is
