I've been playing Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth which was thoroughly enjoyable. Read my review now. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

I also played the PS5 version of Hades II this past week. You don't need me to tell you how great it is, but read my words anyway. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

Here's my Dosa Divas review. A very good game with a pretty hard hitting story. Check out my full review. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

I recently played through The Pale Beyond and had some thoughts about how it centres around free will and fate. www.thesixthaxis.com/2026/04/06/f... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

I do like a side scrolling brawler but Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers is an average experience.

Here's my preview of The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon. It's shaping up to be a funny experience.

Here's my review for Love Eternal. It's a tough precision platformer that stays with you after it ends.

My latest review is for Ratcheteer DX. It has some very enjoyable moments but some of the platforming was just a little too annoying at times

The likes of Spiked only want us from minority backgrounds to integrate to a specific point, where we are nothing more than a serving class with no representation. This faux outrage of division for being inclusive is ridiculous.

The latest game I have on the go from my backlog is Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. I'm going to spend so much time just diving into the side activities.

Videogamer used to be one of my go to sites a long time ago. To see it become an AI slop factory is a shame to see. This is why it is important to support game news and review outlets. Whatever site you're a fan of share their work and support them financially if you can.

You don't need to tend to a farm, run a cafe, or lounge on an island for a game to be cosy. Riding on a speeder, searching for treasure, and eating at street stalls is cosy too, which is why Star Wars Outlaws is a cosy game.

My profile banner has changed to reflect the current game I'm playing. Back in Osaka with Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Fun fact, this time last year I was actually in Osaka.

At TheSixthAxis we've been pouring our love of games into our work for 18 years, and we've been lucky to remain independent all that time. If you like or have ever liked any of the work we have done please consider tipping us on Ko-fi. Ideally we want to be totally reader supported. #gaming

My MIO: Memories In Orbit review is up. It is engaging, beautiful, and frustrating at times. It's also going to be one of the most memorable games of the year.

I've decided after my current review obligations are done I'm going on a review hiatus. I need to rediscover playing games for fun and not for work.

My first review of 2026 is up and it is for 3D platformer Big Hops. A charming game though the experience was not without technical issues.

2026 is going to be the start of my sartorial era.

@aransuddi.bsky.social has checked out Aethermancer, the roguelike creature collector RPG that is currently in early access. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/11/a... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

@aransuddi.bsky.social reviews UNBEATABLE, saying the rhythm gameplay is good but the story could have been better. Read his full thoughts at the link. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/09/u... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

@aransuddi.bsky.social has played and reviewed Death Howl. While he appreciates the narrative the gameplay didn't quite meet expectations. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/08/d... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

@aransuddi.bsky.social spent some time with @ninedotsstudio.bsky.social playing Outward 2 and talking about how this sequel expands on the original. Simply, it's the Outward experience a lot of you enjoyed. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/02/o... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

Here's my Duskpunk review, an RPG with dice roll mechanics. It's in a similar vein to Citizen Sleeper so if you enjoyed that you'll probably enjoy this.

Xenopurge is a game that caused me no end of tension while playing it, and it was great.

I've been playing Football Manager games for a lot of years. While FM26 is the start of a new era, it won't be remembered as one of the best entries.

Legacy of Cain. A remake of Legacy of Kain but starring the French special forces robot from Binary Domain.

@aransuddi.bsky.social has been getting stuck into Football Manager 26. While the full review isn't ready yet, here are his thoughts so far. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/10/30/r... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

"Once Upon a Jester is a surprising game for me and I do recommend it, especially if you are looking for something comedic and that is only a few hours long." That's @aransuddi.bsky.social's view of the improvised play game Once Upon A Jester. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/10/24/o... #gaming

"Slots & Daggers is a very entertaining and fun game that thrives on the one more turn aspect." @aransuddi.bsky.social has had a great time with Slots & Daggers. Have a read of his review. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/10/24/s... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

"Fading Serenades is a nice, chill courier game on a nice little island where life is pretty laid back." @aransuddi.bsky.social has been out delivering packages on a small island. Read his review of Fading Serenades. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/10/23/f... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

This is grim. There just aren't enough of us writing about games, and even fewer who will take the time to bring attention to smaller games. It isn't good for the industry. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/more-th...

My Lumo 2 review is now up, coming 9 years after my Lumo review. Have a read if you're interested in the game. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

I'm now replaying Binary Domain and it has some great ideas around AI, though some of the script hasn't aged well. I still hold onto a little hope that RGG Studio will make a sequel.

"Keeper captures the essence of Double Fine, packaged in a heartfelt and surreal world where you never quite know what will happen next." @aransuddi.bsky.social has reviewed Double Fine's Keeper. Find out his thoughts at the link. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/10/17/k... #gaming #videogames #gamenews

Get a press release about a game that looks interesting, check out the Steam page, and see that a main character is voiced by Gen AI.

That's Dark Void done. It had some fun ideas that could have been executed better. Story was all over the place though. Next up, I'm revisiting Spec Ops: The Line.

I have platinumed Ghost of Yotei with every activity done. Now, I'm going to binge a few short games from a couple of generations ago, starting with Dark Void.

My Blood of Mehran review is here. It's a throwback to action games from a couple of generations back, but an average experience. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

Here's my Nicktoons and The Dice of Destiny review. It has some entertaining parts to it, but there are technical issues. #gaming #videogames #gamenews

Following today's news, I guess this will be the last EA game I'll be reviewing. Anyway, here's my FC 26 review.

I spent approximately 60 hours doing everything I could in Ghost of Yotei. Here's my review. www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/09/25/g... #ghostofyotei #gaming #videogames

My view is that this government knows exactly what it is doing and believes in some of Reform's messaging. I bet there is no single advisor to the PM or Home Secretary from a minority background to give context to what the flag represents to some of us. shorturl.at/VfEMC #UK

When will companies and governments learn that when you pander to and court bigots, life just becomes worse for everyone?

Nothing sums up the UK like landing at the airport to find the DLR is closed so no connection to the train station I would need to get to, from where I would need to get a rail replacement bus. £40 spent on an Uber instead.

Here's my review for Fresh Tracks, a fun entry to the rhythm genre with a very good original soundtrack. The story and delivery is great, and tracks like The Inspiration and Ekkos really stand out. #gaming #videogames

Books are my other passion aside from games, so Tiny Bookshop is near enough a perfect game for me. Check out my review.

Here's my review of The Dark Queen of Mortholme. It's only 20 minutes long but it is one of the best interactive experiences I've played in a while. #gaming #indiegames #gamereview

A Dream About Parking Lots lasts around 30 minutes, but packs in a pretty good therapy session. Check out my review.

I experienced Dear Me, I Was, the Arc System Works Switch 2 exclusive title. It has some great art and piano music, but this is much more a story with minimal interactivity rather than a game. #Switch2 #gaming #videogames

My review for Birdigo is up, and it is a fun word puzzle game. But progression is really hampered and it can be frustrating. #gaming #videogames
