ATOM RPG is a post-apocalyptic game, inspired by classic CRPGs: Fallout, System Shock, Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate and many others. In 1986 both the Soviet Union and the Western Bloc were destroyed in mutual nuclear bombings. You are one of the survivors of the nuclear Holocaust. Your mission - to explore the wild and wondrous world of the Soviet Wasteland. To earn your place under the sun. And to investigate a shadowy conspiracy, aimed at destroying all that is left of life on Earth.
The Mega Drive version is one of the most played titles in my entire game collection and I have a lasting memory of being in Leeds for a Play Expo and staying up until 4am in my hotel room on the Friday determined, DETERMINED to finish the game (which I did, #justsayin’).
Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero.
One of the most played battle royale games right now is Garena Free Fire. It's a popular game primarily because of the short battle royale matches that it offers. Instead of the usual 100 players, only 50 players will go to a remote island and battle it out and become the last man/woman standing. The game is also not very demanding when it comes to the technical specifications, so it can smoothly run, even on low spec devices.
As one of the popularly played battle royale games, the developers continue to provide improvements and updates to keep the game interesting. The developers recently came out with a massive update that added new characters and weapons and adjusted several game modes and guns. If you want to know more about these recent updates, you will continue to read on, as we will be discussing these things in the article.

Our previous favourite was Overcooked from Team 17 with its manic cooking madness.
Moving Out has superseded Overcooked though because the variety of fun to be had with four players while trying to fling sofas onto the back of a truck in a time limit is absolutely limitless.
Enjoy unlimited replayability through endless procedurally generated dungeons, countless monsters, grafting, crafting and a vast amount of skill trees.
Journey into the ever-changing depths of the Caverns of Chaos.
Also, enjoy me fumbling about inside a dungeon trying to work out how to put skill points into my character whilst I weigh up a slingshot versus a crossbow...
The initial big draw for this game was the high score comp that was run alongside its release which was a great way to get people hyped for the game coming out.
In the cold light of day though now the competition has concluded what is the game actually like to play. Well if you like Donkey Kong then you’ll like this.
Wallachia: Reign of Dracula is a game that follows the tale of a vampire hunter as she bows-and-arrows (definitely a real term, don’t look it up) her way through seven stages of vintage arcade action in a bid to finally fire an arrow right up Dracula’s jacksie and put a stop to his haemoglobin-fuelled shenanigans.
Fast forward a few days to me watching a trailer for Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, a game which not only featured such visuals…but looked so interesting that I had to seek it out as soon as possible, it was my destiny.
Whilst the Shadow X was the clear favourite for me personally, I can see the appeal that the Conqueror would have not only for its aesthetic and complimentary stand but also for children and those of you blessed with smaller ears.
It’s well designed but I do feel that its appeal will be somewhat niche.
Come watch me try all the characters in the starting roster.
It's a game that works great in both single-player mode, ‘pass-the-pad’ party fun and I can also imagine is a keeper for the speedrunners out there.
That said, musical issues and a clunky map do detract from the overall enjoyment.
Cathedral was a game I hadn’t heard of before but after a quick goosey at the trailer, I was sold. 2D Metroidvania action with a chiptune soundtrack? Good.
The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav can definitely be defined as an old-school point-and-click adventure game and it's definitely entrenched in the design decisions that will please old school point n click enthusiasts but that may also put off newcomers to the genre as the frustration levels may increase unless you play with the assist / easy mode switched on.
The theme of the new Wonder Boy trailer is Pepelogoo, Asha's trusted blue sidekick and one of the main characters in the game!
The trailer shows the two of them working together to overcome any obstacles.
As well-presented as the game is, it feels to tame to be titillating and too repetitive to be engaging.
I’m VERY glad that my intuition won out and I ended up playing the game, however, as it’s an extremely fun and silly party game that will clearly remain installed for a long time to come (especially as there is imminent DLC!).
That, reader, is the sound of my boxes being ticked.
Morbid: Seven Acolytes packs a ton of lore and gore into a very nice-looking package. The pixel-art graphics are really lovely and detailed, letting you see the frankly disgusting range of enemies and characters that populate the world of Mornia.
I mention in my original review that it was totally by chance that I picked it out for coverage when my Switch was being Animal Crossing-ed to death by someone who shall remain nameless* and I’m so glad that I was introduced to it.
