Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era – PC Preview

Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era is a turn-based fantasy strategy game developed by Unfrozen and published by Hooded Horse. It combines hero exploration, kingdom management, and tactical battles in the magical world of Enroth. It's out now in Early Access on Steam, so let's check it out. Lo, The Heroes of Yore Returneth After years of decline and neglect under Ubisoft, the long-running Heroes of Might and Magic series is making a comeback for its 30th anniversary. The IP-hoarding dragon Ubisoft was wise enough to restore the game to its classic name and partner with strategy-focused publisher Hooded Horse, known for recent hits like Manor Lords, to help revive the franchise. Developers Unfrozen have done a fantastic job at recreating the old-school, turn-based, hexagon-layered fantasy...

Rune Dice PC Review

Rune Dice is a Strategy RPG from the minds at Smart Raven Studio. With publishing assistance from Kwalee. Rune Dice is honestly a very unique concept when working with dice and combat. And the interesting conditions to be met when unlocking characters had me playing for hours on end. Now, let's legally grab our dice and get ready to roll for this review! Remember, explosive dice are your best friend, but RNG....it's getting personal! Gameplay The gameplay for Rune Dice is honestly a game of pool minus the pockets and with almost the same amount of planning. I swear the game had me questioning sending the die to a wall to do a trick shot. Which was necessary to fully understand to perform the needed 40 combo dice to unlock the Archer. Sure, you need the aim to properly get this combo t...

NITRO GEN OMEGA – PS5 Review

Giant mechs will always have a place in my heart. No matter the medium, mechs are inherently cool. That's why I was very excited to get my hands on NITRO GEN OMEGA. This slick, anime-inspired title has you take control of your own customisable crew of mech pilots in a post-apocalyptic world. Developed by DESTINYbit, this stylish tactical RPG looks like it could be something special. Is that the case, though? It certainly looks the part, but is there enough substance here to match the impressive visuals? NITRO GEN OMEGA is out right now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. NITRO GEN OMEGA: Style and Substance! AI has overrun the world. Humanity is barely surviving. Sounds eerily familiar so far... Survivors ...

Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi Switch Review

Kazuma Kaneko's Tsukuyomi is a Rouge-like, Tabletop, RPG from COLOPL Inc. A revised version of Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter that was released on May 6th 2025. Updating a few bit from the original from a larger story, one new character, a better interface and fixing the card effects in battles. For some, people who came to play this game because Kazuma Kaneko's name is on the game. Which for those who don't know, he's the original artist for the demons in the Megami Tensei series. But let's get to the bottom of this case. However, don't be surprised when we get to discussing the art portion of the review. Slaying the Spire II has prepared me for this game a bit too much. What does it mean to be a Tsukuyomi We start off playing as Tsukuyomi of Izayoi appearing in the Hashira. This co...

Sintopia – PC Review

A new management sim hits the Steam store, and this time we will be punishing the damned in Sintopia. Where we take the role of overlooking the hellish realm for the big man himself. The game is out now on Steam for £29.99, with also a Deluxe Edition, that nets you the soundtrack and art book. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Gameplay Sintopia splits has the player watching over two domains, the Overworld where the denizens called Humus live. And the Underworld, where you will punish - or, well, reform them - into better people. There is a story mode that will take you step by step on how to build an efficient hell. Players will get buildings that aid in dealing with one of the seven deadly sins. Most of your efficiency will be based on the roads and paths you create, since si...

Gray Zone Warfare – PC Early Access Preview

Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical FPS in early access by MADFINGER Games. Take on missions solo or with a squad of your own as you explore a persistent, remote Southeast Asian island in both PvE and PvPvE combat. The game is only available on Steam. Tactics are Needed in the Gray Zone I'm no stranger to first-person shooter games. My most consistently played series over the years is without a doubt Battlefield. They provide a nice blend of ground and vehicle combat that I think draws me, alongside the steady paced action. Gray Zone Warfare is one that I've seen but not really taken a look at as far as FPS games go. I was guessing it would be a mixture of Rainbow Six Siege and Squad from the tactical standpoint. Let me share what I found thus far in my time with the game below. Gamepla...

Ghost Master: Resurrection – PS5 Review

I am, admittedly, a bit of a sucker for remasters/remakes. Or, at least, the ones of games that didn't come out a few years ago... Being able to experience something from my younger years on modern hardware is both nostalgic and comforting. So, when I saw that Ghost Master was returning from the dead, I knew I had to check it out! Released in 2003 for PC and a year later for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, Ghost Master is a sort of puzzle/strategy hybrid. A game my younger self would often describe as "The Sims but you have to haunt them instead of take care of them". Not that I really took care of my sims... Now, in 2026, Ghost Master: Resurrection is here! Developer Mechano Story Studio state that this is a "faithful remake of the beloved original" but with some much-needed bug fixes and upgr...

RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike – PC Review

RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike is a strategy arcade roguelite releasing March 31st on PC. With publishing by Playstack (Abiotic Factor, Balatro), developer Doraccoon brings coin pushing to a digital scale with a plethora of unique bits and bobs. You can pick it up only over on Steam. Like at the Carnival, But Better! I was always curious around the coin pusher games at the carnival. Mostly because I wanted the free tokens that would randomly fall. These days I see one on occasion at the gas station or travel center, and usually toss in a quarter or two if I have one on me. RACCOIN looks to be a more manageable for my wallet. So how does it play? Well check out the review below and I'll let you know my thoughts! Gameplay RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike is a coin pushing strategy arca...

Celestial Return – PC Early Access Preview

There’s subtlety, and then there’s Celestial Return. Developed by Metaphor Games and published by Shoreline Games, this neon-soaked detective RPG doesn’t creep onto your screen so much as bleed into it. This doesn’t ease you into Netherveil City. It throws you in, neon-first. Coming to Steam, and currently running a Kickstarter. Celestial Return - Not quite a star Before we really get into Netherveil, I’m curious, are you the sort who clicks every dialogue branch just in case, or do you streamline towards objectives? Gameplay You play Detective Howard, a worn-out investigator armed with a rusted badge, a sentient rose that refuses to stay quiet, and a pocketful of dice that matter far more than you’d expect. Netherveil is a dying city. Suicides pile up. Corpses crawl. Conversations fra...

Laysara: Summit Kingdom – PS5 Review

Originally released into Early Access on Steam back in April 2024, Laysara: Summit Kingdom has now launched it's 1.0 version! As well the PC version, Laysara is also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. When researching the game, I found out that the developer, Quite OK Games, is actually a three-person team. Well, three people and a yak, according to their website! Right away that struck me as impressive, as the trailers showcase something that's not only very beautiful, but also looks really fun to play. But, is that truly the case? Onwards and Upwards in Laysara: Summit Kingdom City building games typically see the player expand outward, transforming a humble town into a multi-district city. In Laysara, things are a little bit differe...
