Styx: Shards of Darkness Review – The Goblin Deadpool
I love those games that come out of nowhere and surprise you with just how enjoyable they actually are. Despite the fact that I enjoyed the first Styx game its sequel wasn’t exactly on my radar, so imagine how pleased I am to report that it’s a whole load of fun. It’s certainly the most…

The Others: 7 Sins Review – Damned?
I’ve been sitting staring at this damn screen for what feels like an eternity, the ghastly flu I’m battling having basically stripped my mental reasoning down to that of a brick.

For Honor Review – No Dedicated Servers, No Honor
Well, look at you, Ubisoft, giving us some original titles and acting like a grown up game development company trying to do original things. Sort of.
