Share Get lost in The Backrooms 1998. The Backrooms is quite the phenomenon these days with all manner of different interpretations.
Order 13 - Basket case – Big Boss Battle (B3)

1 week ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share Does Order 13 deliver the goods? I’ve worked in a warehouse before and let me tell you, Order 13 isn’t too far from reality. Aside from the horrible flesh monsters — they’re much worse in reality.
Sports: Renovations - From downtown! – Big Boss Battle (B3)

2 weeks ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share Taking a page out of House Flipper, Sports: Renovations has you fixing football fields and repairing hockey rinks. The cosy dad game genre, as I’m referring to it now, has become very popular.
Warriors: Abyss - Dynastic – Big Boss Battle (B3)

2 weeks ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share Whilst it may feel shallow at times, Warriors: Abyss is addictive, fun, and easy to pick up and play. I’ve not played a huge number of the Dynasty Warriors games. I think I played the fourth one, Samurai Warriors 2, and Warriors: Orochi 3. Oh, and Hyrule Warriors if that counts.

Spilled! - Oil tell you what I think of this – Big Boss Battle (B3)

3 weeks ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share A nice little cosy game though it is, Spilled! is more brief than I’d like it to be. The cosy genre is all the rage at the moment, with heaps of nice, relaxing games that give a slice of life away from the drudgery of reality.

Dead Letter Dept - Dead on arrival – Big Boss Battle (B3)

4 weeks ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share Dead Letter Dept is a bizarre and utterly unsettling experience. It’s not often that I find myself at a loss as to how to review a game, but Dead Letter Dept has me unsure of where exactly to begin.
Urban Myth Dissolution Centre - Mythbusters – Big Boss Battle (B3)

1 month ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share Whilst it may not be high on challenge, Urban Myth Dissolution Centre is an excellent story-driven point & click game. Urban myths! You can probably think of a few from your childhood or popular culture like the Mothman or the Dybbuk box. They’re certainly fun ghost stories, but what if they took on a life of their own.
Under Defeat - Helicopter hero – Big Boss Battle (B3)

1 month ago | bigbossbattle.com | Rob Covell

Share A fun and easy to play shoot ‘em up, Under Defeat nevertheless offers a solid level of challenge for fans of the genre. Whilst I enjoy them, I’m not all that familiar with the huge swathes of shoot ‘em ups, or shmups as the kids call them, but I’ve played a few in my rime.
