Napoleon's armies conquered much of Europe, but Valor Mortis imagines a far more horrifying legacy than anything written in the history books.

Deep Dish Dungeon Serves Up A Different Kind Of Dungeon Crawl On Game Pass, Xbox And PC

Some dungeon crawlers ask you to sharpen your sword, stock up on potions and prepare for a fight. Deep Dish Dungeon doesn't bother with that though, ensuring that you'll instead be more focused on what's going in the cooking pot when you return to camp.

Accessory Reviews

GameSir T7 Pro Retro Green Controller Review

It’s fine as another iron in GameSir’s budget fire, and if you’re considering the T7, this is an option, but don’t get hung up on the love of an icon. 

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II Review 

There is no doubt in our mind that the Stealth Pro II is Turtle Beach's finest ever headset.

viaim OpenNote Review

Use the viaim OpenNotes as open-ear earbuds - whether you are doing exercise, want to hear conversations around you, or for comfort - and you’ll have a whale of a time.

Reviews

Fresh Tracks Review

Fresh Tracks comes at the rhythm action genre from a new perspective, oozing originality and offering a charming and endearing experience backed by a glorious soundtrack.

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 Review

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 has the foundations of a decent racer, but it needs more wax and polish before it can become a game, and series, that many will want to get behind the wheel of.

Bluey’s Happy Snaps Review

While Bluey’s Happy Snaps has sharp edges in its bugs and usability, enough to get the odd papercut on the Polaroids, it’s still a cartoon sandbox that your children will love.

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 Review

There is a good game in Lawn Mowing Simulator 2. As it currently stands though, it is hidden underneath a bit too much undergrowth, and needs someone to come at it with strimmers, blowers and mowers to cut through the rough.

Hidden Dogs Review

Hidden cat games have a tendency to release new iterations every couple of months, and if Hidden Dogs followed that pattern then I would be first in line.

Silver Pines Review

Silver Pines is a great adventure full of atmosphere.

Whisker Mess Review

Whisker Mess is one of the good ones. It’s a curious combination of Tetris and Match-3 games, and there’s a very good chance that you won’t have played much like it.

Forever Ago Review

I came to enjoy Forever Ago.

Garfield – Escape From Monday Review

Garfield - Escape From Monday bucks expectation and delivers a fast-moving, responsive platformer.

ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE Review

If you want a superb story and some serious pilot action, then ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE has everything you need for a thrilling time in the air. It’s dramatic, cinematic, occasionally cheesy and hugely entertaining. Strap yourself in and enjoy the flight.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered Review

CD Projekt Red has given every gamer an excuse to once again unsheathe their silver and steel swords and play the work of art which is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered.

TOYCRAFTER Review

TOYCRAFTER is a short and sweet horror experience. Although, sweet may not be the most appropriate word, because things do get pretty dark towards the end.

Valheim Review

Valheim is an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a new survival game to try out, particularly if they can convince a friend or two to join for the ride. The Tenth World awaits.

Temari Trials: Dojo’s Test Review

I’m not sure I have ever met a sokoban enthusiast in my life, but if I did know one, I’d be suggesting that Temari Trials: Dojo’s Test is one of the better games to try.

To Farm Lands: Sowing Fields Review

You can’t get away with being a no-thrills shape-sorting game. It’s what ultimately kills To Farm Lands: Sowing Fields.

Puppergeist Review

Puppergeist will find fans.

Funguys Swarm Review

Funguys Swarm isn’t revolutionary: it takes you to the same bullet heaven as several other games. But it does it with - finally! - colour and humour, as well as ridiculous depth and variety.
