Townscaper is one of those small snatches of joy I heavily associate with the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020. The stress-free city builder was a tiny game that became a huge sensation that summer. Like other collective obsessions of that year, it inspired a trend that’s only now truly coming to fruition. Although Townscaper’s developer Oskar…
Give it some credit: it’s not every game that lets you edit the text in its installation wizard while you wait for setup to conclude. But Big Rigs dares to be so bold. It is also so bold as to allow you to accelerate to literally infinite speeds by holding reverse, to have absolutely zero…
“We give Harvey shit about it all the time”. 2000’s Deus Ex is a truly iconic action-adventure, fusing first-person exploration with engaging combat, RPG mechanics, open-ended puzzles and a gripping sci-fi narrative. A critical and commercial smash hit, it was always bound to get a sequel – but even the most hardcore fans will admit…

Since the series’ 30th anniversary celebrations last year, Bandai Namco has been doling out remasters of the Tales Of games at a steady clip. Last year Tales of Graces f and Tales of Xillia both got the remaster treatment, and in February we got Tales of Berseria. The first two were welcome: both were PlayStation…
Drop in today. Front Mission 2: Remake dropped onto Switch just last month and it was… fine. The rough edges on this one were a little too distracting to us when we got to grips with it on release, but developers Storm Trident and G-Craft have been working on a range of updates, the latest…
If, like me, you enjoy playing stealthy characters in fantasy RPGs, then a new mod that boosts sneak attack damage multipliers in Oblivion Remastered is well worth checking out. As standard in Oblivion Remastered, almost all weapon types deal the same sneak attack multipliers, which are x2 at Novice, before climbing (and crucially stalling) at…
One of the more interesting things about WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery (SoD) is how it’s recaptured that vanilla feeling of going on little adventures. This is done mainly through its runes system. In case you’re unfamiliar, every class in SoD has access to runes that give them important, build-defining abilities. For example, to get…
