‘The Last Door: Complete Edition’ Review (Nintendo Switch)

by Britt Roberts

I have a distant sense that I played The Last Door upon its original PC release several years ago, albeit briefly. I’m not sure why I didn’t play it through at the time but I’m definitely glad I revisited it on the Switch as its ‘low-res, high suspense’ (brilliant tag-line) approach really works and creates […]

‘Moon #1&2’ Review

by Alain Elliott

Written by Dan Thompson | Art by Steve Penfold | Published by Beyond the Bunker A sci-fi comedy comic about a crime fighting moon (with a human body, arms and legs – just a moon instead of a head) is not something I would normally read. But the simply titled Moon caught my eye at […]

Originally released for PC in 2017, Darkwood has now been ported to the Nintendo Switch, so owners of Nintendo’s popular handheld can also enjoy one of the bleakest worlds in gaming.

Review Round-Up: Almost There / Rotating Brave (Switch)

by Phil Wheat

ALMOST THERE: THE PLATFORMER I know indie gaming has embraced the idea of old-school pixel art but Almost There takes things to a whole other level. This isn’t 16 bit graphics, hell, this isn’t even 8 bit graphics. This is dawn of the video game age, sub-Atari 2600 graphics, on a current-gen console! It’s like […]

‘Star Wars X-Wing 2.0: Z-95-AF4 Headhunter’ Expansion Pack Review

by Matthew Smail

Now, this reliable, easy-to-acquire starfighter is integral to numerous criminal cartel fleets—from large operations like Black Sun to small-time raiders like the Binayre Pirates.
