Space Marine 2 – All Siege’d Up

Dan Gillett — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:00:11 +0000

I quite like Warhammer. I quite like video games. Naturally, when Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was announced, my head almost exploded from the sheer hype and anticipation (Yes, I was, and still am a grown man). This was back in 2021, with the game landing in September of last year. Spoiler alert: It was, […]

Worship – Occult Hockey Brawling

Dan Gillett — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:00:20 +0000

It turns out, I’m actually quite good at running a cult. Not exactly a calling I’d have imagined, but a calling nonetheless. Thanks to Worship, I’ve finally realised my potential at leading followers to their demise as I fling otherworldly magic toward those who dare oppose my almighty deity! Or at least, that’s what I […]

Skin Deep — Cats in Spaaaaaace!

Dan Gillett — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:00:35 +0000

You are Nina Pasadena, Insurance Commando. It’s your job to stop pirates from robbing the feline-crewed spaceships cruising the infinite, and you’ll quickly figure out that you can achieve this in some of the most absurd and drawn out ways possible. Welcome to Skin Deep, an immersive simulator that has captured my heart with its […]

The Alters – Me, Myself and I

Dan Gillett — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 13:00:30 +0000

Have you ever had a moment in your life that you look back on and thought about how you could have done things differently? If you were given the chance, would you want to see how much your life would change if you altered a significant event in your past? Would the alternate versions of […]

Purgin’ Planets in Son of a Gun

Dan Gillett — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 13:00:21 +0000

Son of a Gun explodes the top-down shooter format into the modern day. Top-down shooters are something that I really don’t get a chance to play much, so when Son of a Gun dropped into my lap, it was a pretty neat reminder that when they’re good, they’re REAL good. If you’re looking for something […]

Little Lighthouse of Horror – Calm before the Storm

Dan Gillett — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 14:00:49 +0000

I am many things, but a horror game enjoyer is not normally one of them. So imagine my utter surprise when I decided to take the reins of Little Light House of Horror, a… horror… game. To then actually enjoy it? Unthinkable. At least, I would have said so before I gave the game a […]

Thronefall – King in the Castle

Dan Gillett — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:00:38 +0000

As someone who grew up playing a LOT of tower defence/base defence flash games on school computers, you could say that I have somewhat of an affinity for the genre. Be it rose-tinted nostalgia or the fact that I poured hours upon hours into games like Bloons and Defend Your Castle, there’s something about them […]

Warhammer 40,000: The Ultimate Guide – An ultimate entry point

Dan Gillett — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 13:00:39 +0000

Warhammer 40,000 is an extremely intimidating setting for newcomers, I should know. We’ve all been there at one point or another, being stood staring up at rows upon rows of miniature model kits wondering “What’s all this about different coloured marines then?”. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to jump into the hobby whether […]

Capes Preview – Super-Powered Strategists

Dan Gillett — Thu, 09 May 2024 13:00:01 +0000

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take control of a team of silver age superheroes? If yes, then Capes might just be for you. If you’ve ever played a squad-based strategy game before, then you’re going to immediately recognise the format and the flow. Capes pulls on elements of what came […]

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – Yes, Lord Captain

Dan Gillett — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 13:00:15 +0000

Welcome to the 41st Millenium, Trader! Do you like war? No? Well that’s too bad because there’s a LOT of it. Okay, first things first, I am utterly and unapologetically enthusiastic about the universe of Warhammer 40,000. I think it’s an absolutely bonkers setting full of dynamic characters, locations and stories that cater to practically […]

Bore Blasters – Dwarves in Copters!

Dan Gillett — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 13:00:15 +0000

Dwarves in gyrocopters. There’s just something about it, right? I don’t know how many games that can offer you both of these, but what I can tell you is that Bore Blasters has lots of them. Up until recently, I had no idea that I wanted a game where I mined rocks using a gatling […]

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor – Dig Deeper, Shoot Faster

Dan Gillett — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 13:00:38 +0000

Bugs, Guns and Ore – If you like one of those things, you’re gonna have a good time with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Get busy mining, or get busy dying! Dig deeper, shoot faster. If I had to describe Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor in one go, that’d be it. It does what it says on […]

Radiation, bandits and flesh-eating ghouls. Come visit Zero Seivert‘s Zakov today! Please note: Rad pills not supplied. I’m going to admit to this right out of the gate: I have a love/hate relationship with hardcore extraction shooters. Do I love the adrenaline rush I get from pulling off a successful run? You betcha.

Mystery, intrigue and a French connection: Chronique des Silencieux

Dan Gillett — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 19:00:38 +0000

Smooth jazz tones, curious cases and cosy interiors; this quiet French town has it all in Chronique Des Silencieux — a detective game announced by Pierre Feuille Studio back in 2018. It has clearly been a labour of love and that shows in this demo. You’re introduced to Chronique Des Silencieux‘s strange cast of zany […]
