After eating our collective body weight in sausages, we're bringing you hands-on impressions of our favourite games from the show. Pixel art roguelike Curious Expedition is basically FTL, but replace the spaceships with 19th century explorers and substitute the vast expanse of space for a tropical jungle. ...

Sacred 3 is a straightforward hack and slash RPG that allows you to jump into various fantasy locales, either alone or with friends, for mindless fun. Unfortunately mindless becomes the key word in that statement for a game that completely throws away what made older titles in the series unique, while also failing to do anything special or interesting on its own.
