Feature: In honour of His Souliness
Sorry, definition nerds. “Soulslike” is a word now. Disgusting, I know, but this is how genres are made. Along comes a giant like Dark Souls that everybody won’t stop bleating about and soon it has copycats. Before you know it, a swarm of like-minded games with sparse checkpoints and lethal attacks are scuttling around, leaving slime trails and biting your ankles for surprisingly massive damage.…
Feature: Pack your bags
Outward is the first game I’ve played to capture a feeling I remember from childhood. Waking up so early it's still dark outside, and being wide-eyed with wanderlust. I’ve always loved the hour before dawn, simultaneously blessed with twilight tranquility and electric with promise. It feels like stealing something from the sun, enacting some celestial heist to gain a foothold on the day. In this…
Fantasy games have always been about the chosen hero foretold by prophecy, the lone knight wandering the wilderness saving the every-man from any number of horrific beast.

He noted it was especially fancy on the ship design front, and lamented that it…

But GoD Factory: Wingman is proving glorious 4 vs 4 space battles and ships wearing top hats are not a guaranteed cash cow. Maybe other games are sucking up the backers, but with 24 hours left and…
Quite how multiplayer space-combat dogfighters vs capital-ship game GoD Factory: Wingmen hasn't raised the mere $70,000 Kickstarter ask is beyond me. Look at it! Great big mad spaceships all customisable and made out of colours and stuff. It reminds of crazy old 6DoF shooter Forsaken or something like that, only it's about taking on squadrons of spaceships to blow up their base ship. They explain:…
