Expedition 33 isn’t Final Fantasy – And That’s It’s Strength

It’s been a common comment over the last couple of months. “Those Expedition 33 guys, they’ve done good. They should work on the next Final Fantasy. It’s better than Final Fantasy.” I’m here to say that’s madness. Final Fantasy is one of my favourite franchises. I spoke last year about how it had finally rediscovered its identity in Final Fantasy XVI and more so in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. It took a long, long time to get there. You can…

Rematch Review

It’s rare a game comes along that feels exciting and original, building on other achievements in its genre but also managing to be something new. Rematch is one of those games. The controls are simple, the physics are deadly but rewarding and the team game – when it’s played right – is some of the best I’ve seen. Some people are calling Rematch a mix of Rocket League and EA FC, and they’re right. Tactical, arcadey and hard, all in…

Supercar Collection Simulator Review

Supercar Collection Simulator is a collector’s dream turned digital reality. Developed by Kiki Games, this simulation game lets you run a diecast car shop, blending the thrill of unboxing rare collectibles with light business management, racing, and trading mechanics.

The Steam Summer Sale is Here – No Need to Applaud

It’s Steam’s summer sale again, and as always it crashed under the weight of bargain hunters checking their wish lists. If they were anything like me, they came away disappointed. It’s a well-chewed truism now taht Steam sales aren’t what they used to be. The removal of flash sales and other bonuses that made Steam’s offering standout had turned it into just another set of discounts. Usually the biggest benefit is that other stores also reduce their prices around the…

Alchemists Review

“Alchemists” is a cooperative horror game that combines elemental magic with ghost-hunting mechanics. Up to four players take on the roles of modern-day alchemists, using the classical elements—air, fire, water, and earth—to perform rituals and cleanse haunted locations. The concept is intriguing, and the game’s eerie environments initially promise a chilling, team-based adventure. Unfortunately, while the premise is strong, the execution leaves much to be desired.  At its core, “Alchemists” revolves around a ritual-based gameplay ...

Hotel Architect Review

Hotel Architect immerses players in the fast-paced, frequently chaotic realm of hotel administration, where visitor satisfaction, logistics, and innovation all come together. This simulation game, created by Pathos Interactive and published in May 2025, seeks to establish a niche in a market already dominated by industry titans like SimTower and Two Point Campus. But is it just another prefab project, or does it create a five-star experience? Combining artistic freedom with intricate logistics, Hotel Architect provides a deep and multi-layered…

Rematch is Amazing – Its Players Aren’t

Rematch is a fresh take on the Football genre and, like many people, I spent my Friday night checking it out. I was awful. Luckily the game itself was great. But as much fun as I’m having, it hammered home a problem I have with a lot of online games: the players. No, I don’t mean when they’re obnoxious or annoying. I am old enough to have lived through the 360 generation. I played League of Legends for a bit.…

Steam Deck Vs Switch 2 – An Artificial Clash

The Switch 2 has been extremely successful in its first week, just like everybody who was paying attention knew it would. I have questions about its long-term prospects but, believe me, it’s never going to be a dud. It’s never enough to have your company do well. You have to compare it to other, less hugely successful devices. I’ve seen a lot of conversation around the Steam Deck in the last seven days. And people have used the Stam Deck…

Tiny Garden Review

Tiny Garden is an adorable, small farming game that feels like a digital memento. Players are transported into a world of gardening, puzzle-solving and storytelling within ten minutes. The game is set in ‘the miniature capsule toy’ like the iconic Polly Pocket character. This is a game that doesn’t rush you, but rather slows down, explores, and contemplates. With its core mechanic of a handle cranking to make time pass by, the game is whimsical and tactile, solidifying what it’s…

It’s a Great Time for Games (But Not Consoles)

The Summer Games events have come and gone and barely a moment went by without something new and exciting to check out on consoles. There’s no doubt about it: the next year is going to be pretty fantastic. No matter what kind of game you love, there was something for you. If you’re really into moody Soulslike games, then you’re eating really well. But it doesn’t end there. 2026 is going to be huge, and that’s without taking Grand Theft…
