Review TRON: Identity (Switch) - A Tight Visual Novel That Fans Of The Films Will Love
Griddy with anticipation
The world of Tron is filled with intrigue, opposing forces, and not-so-subtle hints at the influence humans have on the programs living within their computers. While the two films followed humans who made their way to The Grid, TRON: Identity is a visual novel that offers a look at how programs interact when there aren’t...
Review Thomas Was Alone (Switch) - An Ageing Indie Hit That Still Has Something To Say
Be there or be one of several different rectangles
More than 10 years after its inception as a Flash game, Thomas Was Alone is now so much more than the puzzley, story-driven platformer it appears to be. It is an artefact of an interesting time in the progress of indie games; a time when lo-fi, hi-concept darlings made Twitter swoon week-to-week...
Review John Wick Hex (Switch) - Stylish Turn-Based Action With Too Many Rough Edges
Hex Bomb
John Wick Hex is a rather clever turn-based action/strategy effort that sees you step into the blood-caked boots of Keanu Reeves' stylish and unstoppable killing machine – a man who's always ready, willing and more than able to punch, kick, shoot and fling his gun at the heads of as many bad guys as it takes to do the bidding of the High...

A little less conversation, a little more action, please. Lyrics don’t get more popular than that, and yet it’s this Elvis Presley quote that Subsurface Circular flies directly in the face of. From the mind behind Thomas Was Alone, Mike Bithell’s latest outing is all about the spoken interaction, and it makes for one...

News Derezz And Detect In Bithell Games' TRON: Identity, Out On Switch In April
Clu us in
Remember when TRON was just a cult hit Disney movie from the '80s? We probably have Kingdom Hearts II and TRON: Legacy to thank for its revival (we know there's been lots of small TRON projects over the years, though). Now, we're getting a brand new game set in the TRON universe on 11th April in the form of TRON: Identity. Previously...

News Mike Bithell's Quarantine Circular Could Get A Switch Port, But Only If It Sells Well On PC
A perfect circle
Back in March, we were treated to Subsurface Circular, a narrative-driven story from British developer Bithell Games. Well, it turns out Mike Bithell and co have already produced a second 'short' in the form of Quarantine Circular, another story-focused experience that's just launched on PC. Of course, with any release comes the...
