Super Donuts Speeds Onto Kickstarter
The great thing about the current generation of gaming is that smaller games can reach public distribution with very little effort. In the true example of history repeating itself, it is similar to the days when small indie projects were made available via floppy disks that were free gifts with gaming magazines,…
Manual Samuel Review
With the plethora of indie games that are out there, it’s hard for one to stand out and be unique.  Perfectly Paranormal’s Manual Samuel tries to break free from “original” convention with its quirky design and heavy comedic influence.

If you're reading this, then I imagine you're in the same boat as me. You're utterly enthralled and captivated by the frankly sublime Hyper Light Drifter, but you're slowly grinding your teeth into a fine dust due to how brutally hard it can be. If you fall into the latter…
VA-11 HALL-A Review
Reviewing narrative heavy games is always difficult; trying to strike the balance between criticising the ‘game’ aspect of a title as well as the narrative and world that is presented to you. As such, visual novels and the like usually stay off my radar as pieces end up sounding like…
Dangerous Golf Review
2016 sees the launch of two wacky golf games in which the goal is more wanton destruction rather than sinking a birdie. The first off the tee is Dangerous Golf, the first game by new indie studio Three Fields Entertainment who take their experience working on the Criterion-era Burnout series…
Run Your Own Fantasy Pub in Epic Tavern
