The Falconeer First-Look Preview – PC
Over the past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to be playing an early build of Tomas Sala’s upcoming game, The Falconeer, and I have to say I am very impressed. I really had no idea what to expect going into this; perhaps a twi...
The Vale: Shadow of the Crown Preview – PC
Usually, when a game is being reviewed or discussed, one of the first things that it is judged by is the graphics. Some might argue that there are exceptions to this, such as with retro-style games where the graphics are less o...
Everspace 2 (Prototype Build) – First Impressions
Everspace 2 is currently in a prototype phase on Steam and I was fortunate enough to get a very early sneak peek into the game and take it for a test spin. The original Everspace came out in 2017 and met with very positive rev...
