  • Review Cubikolor (Xbox One)

    No Rubik in sight

    The puzzle genre is not the most fondly tended in the gaming universe. Standout titles such as Portal, The Witness or Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut are often differentiated from the narrow pack because they offer something more than mere puzzling. This is sadly not the case with Cubikolor which, at it's most basic, is a simplistic...

    Pixel Zombie

  • Review Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Xbox One)

    Much more than your average puzzler
