Farm, mine and fish to gather supplies vital to sustaining your colony. Unleash your inner mad scientist and create new crops entirely through gene-splicing. As you shape your brave new world, fill your “Omninac” with what you discover, categorising everything from the minerals to the seasons. This planet could use a farmer’s touch.

It’s often said that the internet consumes us. MULLET MADJACK takes this literally with man and internet melded as one in a bonkers, high-octane, arcade shooter.

Choose from a myriad of weapons to make mincemeat of your enemies in various creative and gratuitous means, getting that vital top-up. Embrace roguelike elements and select a powerup on each floor to enhance your path of destruction. Face unlimited runs in Endless Mode or forgo a timer completely in Classic Mode.

Our EIC Stu was lucky enough to attend an exclusive preview event for this game, check out his thoughts here.
The North of England finally gets the open-world game treatment in this epic struggle for survival. Set 5 years after the Windscale disaster, Atomfall paints a bleak alternative history in a green but scarred post-apocalyptic landscape, and you’re in the middle of the quarantine zone. Scavenge for supplies and craft tools and weapons to increase your chances of survival. But with supplies being scarce, mastering a frenetic mix of weaponry and hand-to-hand combat is essential, as well as monitoring your strength to last another day. There’s a wealth of interconnected stories in the wilderness and your choices carry consequences. Will you uncover them or be swallowed by the hills?
