Indie Corner Episode 8: Really Gettin' the Good Stuff!
In terms of indie gaming, the opening couple of months feels as strong as it was back in 2021. In January and February last year, we saw some fantastic games hit Early Access. Some of these were Everspace 2: a high-quality launch with a lot going for it, as well as the fantastic survival sim […]
Games I've been Playing so far in 2022!
It’s me again! February has been somewhat a drizzly and windy month here in the U.K, so I’ve been spending a lot of time inside with books and my games. It’s already been a big couple of weeks with some large AAA launches, with more to come. 2022 is shaping up to be a big […]
Gamedev Interview: Devil Spire - Recreating the Old Days!
I’ve been playing a pretty cool game lately. That’s Devil Spire, an old-school dungeon crawler that released very recently. It has plenty of unlocks and modes to try, has great visual design and it’s dirt cheap.

Finding the Fun in Mediocrity: Watchdogs Legion
Here’s an interesting question: Do games have to be good to be enjoyable? Short answer = no. Not necessarily. Of course I’d prefer games to be well designed that don’t frustrate me. I’ve played many games which I’ve grown to love playing even if they have a lot of jank and problems holding them back. […]
Here we are: The Top 5! It’s been a long journey. It’s been more difficult writing this series than last year. It’s been a tough one both on my physical and mental health, but I’m pleased with how these have turned out all the same. While I’ve been disappointed with the lacking AAA titles this […]
I’m back again! We are getting close to revealing my Top 5 favourite games of 2021, and it has been an incredible challenge. However, I would like to recommend some more games. These are titles that might have flown under the radar, performed less than expected or just plain flawed games in their own right, […]

It’s that time of year: time to officially begin my Top 10 countdown! It’s been tough to work out what would make my list. There are several games I’m playing which would technically meet my criteria, but I haven’t gotten far enough into them to consider them this year. So, games like Psychonauts 2, Grow: […]
