It’s awards season for games too, and while the Game Awards took place last December, and the Game Developers Choice Awards and Independent Games Festival awards are scheduled for next month at the Game Developers Conference, the 46th Annie Awards honored games last Saturday at…
Much like how Vane’s main character can transform between a bird and a girl, Vane itself transforms genres throughout the course of the four or so hours you spend with it. Despite this, the game remains a mysterious and unnerving experience throughout, with a narrative…
GIGABUSTER gives you control over a colourful array of hi-tech weapons, like a baseball bat and some fire! This is the only thing standing in the way of a large conglomerate replacing the world’s government with AI. You play as Lou, the inventor of said AI….
Dontnod’s Vampyr is a wildly successful game, so much so that it’s already getting a TV adaptation. Vampyr is also garbage; a game with heaps of potential ruined by poor combat and choices that don’t matter. It’s always frustrating when a bad game succeeds while…
The original appeal of Yooka-Laylee can be summed up in one word, nostalgia. Specifically, nostalgia for the Nintendo 64 and the Rare collect-a-thons that populated it. The indie title didn’t fare so well after release despite the initial hype. The latest update coming to the game…

It’s that time of year again to play some creepy games. Not exactly my forte but Layers of Fear is an amazing creepy game for anyone to enjoy. It’s not just full of jump scares and freaky stuff, but it really is suspenseful. It is…
Looking at the art, lush and beautiful and like an intricate children’s book, I sat down with My Brother Rabbit for what I thought would be a relaxing but contemplative, even somber game based on little bits of a tragic story in the opening. It…
First things first, lets get this out of the way, Wandersong is cute. Extremely cute. Not just because of it’s graphics, but it’s plot, dialogue and visuals all come together to create one of the most appealing games of 2018. It’s a shame the gameplay…
Catastronauts brings chaotic couch co-op into space. The game was released on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox on September 28th, with a Switch version to follow. Its gameplay focuses around facilitating an experience between those playing, rather than being an experience itself. It’s another highlight of the…
After covering the Kickstarter for The Darkside Detective: Season 2, Cliqist followed up with the project’s Ireland-based developer, Spooky Doorway, for an email interview. As the developing game’s title indicates, this is not Spooky Doorway’s first trip to the Darkside. Released on multiple platforms, The…
CardLife has been in an Alpha in early access for the last few months. It’s from Freejam games, the company who previously made RoboCraft. It’s a title built around your own creativity, well that and card. Because everything is made of card. It’s only as resilient…
Log Jammers is an upcoming arcade sports game from Mega Cat Studios that, if the name didn’t make it obvious, is another take on ultimate Frisbee. Players pick from a choice of avatars, all with slightly varying stats, then battle it out against either AI or a…
