Wand game reviews.

This sober, more considered take on classic XCOM trades fidelity and fanfare for an absorbing, complex, and brutal simulation.

Fyre Games’ most ambitious project to date draws on many influences, but doesn’t understand what makes them great.

Confounding, wilfully idiosyncratic, and essential. Now with new features and brilliantly optimised PC performance.

Novel ideas can't quite save an array of mechanics that don't gel together, despite how hard you try to meet them halfway.

Flying Squirrel Entertainment delivers chaotic, large-scale battles with a generous dash of gallows-humour silliness.

Dragonkin may hold real action RPG joys for some, but a cliched world and tiresome repetition make it less than epic.

A B-movie inspired zombie shooter that revels in big shootouts and bigger explosions, Toxic Commando doesn’t try to break the mould.

A generous but uneven package that both hews too close and strays too far from its source material.

Community service meets abyssal horror in this brilliantly bizarre point-and-click fishing simulator.

The Dying World is as stiltifying as it is satisfying, a game which is as conceptually strong as its execution is weak.
