We here at GF will always champion local co-op. Recently we’ve been treated with awesome titles such as Heave Ho 2, Wobbly Life, Basureroes: Invasion (which I’ve just played through for the second time – adore that game!) and others – and Brave Escape is most certainly closest to Heave Ho in that list, leaning as it does on absolute cohesion between the two players. Playable both online and in…
Black Flag was my favourite game of the pre-Origins games. I've always been on the side that actually preferred the series after the shift to a more open-world RPG style; looking back now, I kinda see why, as this game introduces things that would later become staples of the newer direction.

Cultic PS5 Review – A Modern Classic Drenched in ’90s Horror Vibes Cultic is a game that was on my radar for years; its visuals and gloomy demeanour calling to mind Monolith’s monolithic macabre magical masterpiece Blood, a title that is never far from my mind! Comprised of two lengthy chapters, Cultic is an FPS set in the 1960s in the town of New Grandewal. You play a detective who follows leads…
Heave Ho 2 Is the Gold Standard for Modern Party Games I covered the original Heave Ho back in 2019, and even then I was the steamboat captain of the good ship Le Cartel Studio. They had gifted the world Mother Russia Bleeds – an incredibly bleak and satisfying side-scrolling brawler that was not for the faint of heart (or stomach) – and whilst Heave Ho was very much a change in direction, I…

Step onto the forgotten front of WWI and follow Fisher, Gordon, and Lonnie as they leave their quiet Newfoundland harbour behind for what they believe will be a short adventure… only to find Gallipoli waiting with dirt, loss, brotherhood, and a touch of madness. The Caribou Trail is a visceral first-person narrative experience inspired by real testimonies from the Great War. In this gameplay…
