Furi embodies both the best and worst qualities of boss fights. At its best, Furi is stylish and exciting; a series of challenging but fair fights that act as a fantastic example of good boss design. At its worst, it’s a frustrating slog that equates difficulty with sheer overwhelming odds; a game that punishes you…
If you’d like to experience your dystopian future with a slice of humour, look no further than Paranoia.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was already a fantastic game last year, and if you needed any more reasons to jump back to it in 2016, look no further than Blood and Wine, its last piece of downloadable content. Just like Heart of Stone, Blood and Wine is a contained story that takes place in the…

The latest entry in the series, Blacklist, attempts to appease fans on both sides…
A short and sweet platformer with tons of charm, MainFrames is excellent time all around.
