Omensight has the premise of an action/murder-mystery game where you must prevent the apocalypse; and a bit like Groundhog Day, you have to repeat the same day over and over – albeit in this case, that day is the end of the world – and once you’re done, life can move on. When I first […]
The Thin Silence, right off the bat, is a game which tells you that it deals with dark and suicidal themes, but don’t be put off that this is going to make you depressed simply by playing it. However, if you are in a dark place, then it won’t be the best game to play […]

Extinction is a game with a launch trailer which makes it look rather like Shadow of the Colossus. There are are similar elements to that one, in that you’re, ultimately, trying to kill giants, but is Extinction a giant-killer… er… killer? First off, there are ginormous orc-like creatures called the Ravenii who are stomping about […]
Yume Nikki: Dream Diary is a 3D reimagining of Yume Nikki, a 2004 adventure game made with RPG Maker 2003, where you have to collect ‘effects’, although do’t imagine it’s as simple as that sounds, since even when I collected items, I didn’t always realise I was doing so.

Nioh: Complete Edition is out now for the PC and I was genuinely surprised when I saw that the once-PS4-exclusive title, released in February this year, had been announced for the PC. Literally, the game was announced and then came out around 6 weeks later! For those not in the know, Nioh is a Dark […]

Well, she’s trapped inside STEM, a system where you physically enter a pod, but your consciousness is transported to another ‘world’ called Union, where you have to go in and rescue her. In […]
Rogue Trooper Redux reminds me that Rogue Trooper happens to be one of my all time favourite characters from 2000AD alongside Dredd, Slaine and Nemesis the Warlock. I purchased the original game on its day of release back in 2006 for the PC and recently sourced a copy for my PS2, since I enjoy it […]

When the game eventually leaves Early Access into full release, some things may have changed from the time of writing. Iain MetcalfRetro at heart and lover of all things ’80s, especially the computers, […]
