Human’s are strange and complex creatures. Why do we have a favourite pair of socks? Why do we fall in love? Why do we need to sleep?
But most importantly, why did Najib Hassan feel compelled to buy an Xbox Series X less than a year after he bought a Series S?
Some people have called startmenu a cult. To which I say, “YOU DARE QUESTION THE ARCH-GAMER?!”
A-anyway, we are delighted to welcome Ruddy Celestial to the site to preview Honey, I Joined A Cult.
The 2D Metroidvania genre is a crowded market nowadays. On top of that, the 2D air-juggling-action-anime Metrovandia with cooking-sim elements genre is also a crowded market. Video games are odd, so is LOST EPIC and Jason Coles is here to let us know if it is any good also.
Can lightning really strike twice? And if so, can someone capture it in a bottle both times?
Jon Simpson is back to let us know if Tom Happ has done just that with Axiom Verge 2.
Despite there still being a global pandemic going on, we have not been short on quality video games to play. But if the current slate of releases isn’t your cup of tea Alex Orona is here to break down the best betas and previews for games coming soon.
The world is dead.
LET’S PLAY PUTT-PUTT!
Kate Robinson lets us know just how fun it is to golf through a dying world in Golf Club: Wasteland.
Board games often struggle to make the transition to video games. However, if any game can adapt itself self you would think it would be Evolution, no? We welcome Issy van der Velde back to the site to see if this game can survive the Winter.
You ever go to a coffee shop and it is so good you instantly want to visit it again? Well, good news, The Terminal is open for business again and Oisín Kuhnke thinks Necobarista’s Trip Advisor rating is going to be rather good.
The only thing the video game industry loves more than discourse about the video game industry is reviewing things. So Kate Robinson is mushing those two things together and reviewing the first two seasons of Ubisoft’s Mythic Quest while also asking, “Where’s the discourse?”
Sometimes it is hard to review a game because you don’t have much to say about it. Sometimes it is near impossible because you have too much to talk about. Can you guess which is was for Joshua Jarrett’s review of Cloud Gardens?
Last month felt like the beginning of a long reckoning and so it felt very strange to be “celebrating games” this month with Gamescom. Alex Green is back to help us run this strange gambit of news.
There are hordes of co-op multiplayer shooters right now, so we got Mattew John McCormick back in to let us know if Back 4 Blood looks like it will survive this wave.

We are not going to make “that” grape pun but Oisín Kuhnke thinks that Garden Story is BERRY good and you should make a DATE out of playing it… In fact they have almost nothing to WINE about… Too far?

So we brought in resident Guardian, Jon Simpson, to round up everything at Bungie’s first livestream for The Witch Queen DLC.
Rats get a hard time. Unfairly so. For that reason, Odd Bug Studio decided to make the star of its new 2D souls-like a loveable rodent… Wait that sounds like a really mean thing to do? James Troughton lets us know if rat lovers will be delighted or mortified to play Tails of Iron.
Video games don’t have a great history of portraying realistic bodies and despite years of change, Jamie A. Nicholas believes the industry still struggles to present anything other than buff men.
