An incredibly hilarious physics based game that forces you to deliver parcels in the most preposterous way with your friends. Like Death Stranding, if it was written by Monty Python. Let’s be completely honest here, Totally Reliable Delivery Service, the new open sandbox physics based game by We’re Five Games and TinyBuild is not a revolutionary game. It doesn’t have …
Warning; this game is addictive. One Finger Death Punch 2 is just as simple yet complex in gameplay, as it is in title. Created by Silver Dollar Games and following on the coattails of its older sibling (familiarly dubbed One Finger Death Punch) from 2014, One Finger Death Punch 2 blazed its way onto Xbox One and Nintendo Switch last …
Life is full of problems. It’s how you solve them that counts. For superhero-in-training, Pixel Girl, it’s simply a matter of turning her problems into picross puzzles (‘pixel puzzles’ in her own words) and solving them that way. Locked door barring the way? No problem puzzle fans, It’s pixel time! Solve the puzzle and the door opens. Need a cat? …

How many adventures begin in an alehouse? A group of misfits get drunk and end up on a quest. Or more like a group of horny pansexual casters, with really odd dump stats, flirt with everyone they haven’t killed. Depends on your group I guess. But what happens when you’re finally out on the road? There’s always a way for …
In Pripyat, Ukraine, April 1986, an underestimated safety power cycling test of reactor core no.4 would cause one of the greatest nuclear disasters in modern history. Initially, a steam explosion, a cascade of events would lead to radiation being spread across Europe. Over two hundred employees and emergency responders were hospitalized due to burns and acute radiation syndrome, and hundreds …

In 2017 at PAX East, the year of the storm, I caught PAX Plague and I caught it bad. The common cold, amplified by the power of tens of thousands of gamers from around the world. Was I dying? Would I ever make it back to the UK? Was this my last PAX ever? Staying on an inflatable mattress in …
Silly, trusting humans… When perusing the PAX East ’19 showfloor, one finds themselves constantly bombarded with spectacles of new and inventive games; Speaking Simulator is one of a kind. Upon approaching their exhibit, a model of a male character’s head with a questionably long mobile mass of muscle tissue hangs over a series of tongue-shaped business cards. Jed Dawson …

Earth Defense Force has always been a super Japanese B Move of a game. Massive battles against hordes of massive enemies; ants, spiders, wasps, aliens, landing pods, drones, and spacecraft. Coming in on the ‘janky’ end of the 3rd person shooter spectrum, it’s fast paced, over the top, unashamed fun and has done OK in the west, but largely appealed …
Trover Saves the Universe shouldn’t be as good as it is. It’s a fairly standard action platformer and yet it feels fresh and is fucking hilarious. PAX East saw Squanch Games bringing Trover Saves the Universe along to play. Plus a panel featuring Justin Roiland, co creator of Rick & Morty, hosting a series of guests to talk about comedy …
