CALENDULA REVIEW
There’s been a lot of navel gazing going on in video games lately. Many recent titles have explored the role of the player, their relationship with developers, and subverted the conventions we’ve come to expect from games. The term meta is often used as a way of describing this type of self aware experience. Calendula, the new game from Blooming Bud Studios, ticks all the necessary boxes for the t...[Read More]
REVEAL THE DEEP REVIEW
Reveal the Deep, by Scottish developers Lazy Monday Games, is a genuinely terrifying exploration game where you take the place of a deep-sea diver exploring the sunken wreck of the SS Euridice all the way at the bottom of the ocean. This game is dark, claustrophobic, and one of the best horror experiences I’ve played on steam in quite a while. This review contains a few minor spoilers that might r...[Read More]

We live in a world where the super powers are happy to spend billions on bombing smaller coun...[Read More]

The team made a bold choice to start the whole process from scratch. Researching fan expectations, id Software made an effort to build a nostalgic first-person shooter similar to the games that o...[Read More]
The Witness Review
We have tried many puzzle games over the years, and the best all have one thing in common. They make us think about them even when we’re not playing. Be it to see how the furniture in the living room can be organised Tetris-style, how we can use portals to teleport us to the other side of the office, or get us to inhospitable areas using a change of perspective. The Witness got us to draw ma...[Read More]
