    The Mobius Machine is a Metroidvania Soulslite about an Astronaut who crashlands on an alien moon after investigating a distress signal emanating from its surface.

    Anomaly Agent Review (Xbox X/S)

    In this 70’s-style mish-mash of martial arts and futurism, you take on the role of Agent 70, who works for an anomaly detection bureau. This 2D combat-centric Platformer is like James Bond meets Star Wars – use your espionage skills to take down an army of clones, and look...

    Lords of Exile Review (Xbox X/S)

    Lords of Exile is an homage to linear 8-bit Action Platformers and within the first 20 minutes, I knew I hated it. As a callback to classic NES games, it features all the archaic physics and controls that I had hoped we had abandoned by now. Lords of Exile...

    Worldless Hands-On (Xbox Series X/S)

    I love a good Metroidvania; it’s probably my favourite genre. There’s something extraordinarily satisfying about improving my character’s arsenal of skills over time, eventually granting them access to areas previously teased but tantalisingly inaccessible the first time I saw them. And in equal measure, I dislike turn-based strategy games....
