Hear about how both Steph and James struggled with the Astrologer class, how they managed to get to grips with all aspects of the game, from its challenging difficulty and its epic boss encounters, to riding Torrent the spirit horse and avoiding wolves raining from the sky.

Sit back and relax as Steph and James take you on a journey through The Lands Between, and for those of you who are still on the fence about giving the game a try, give a unique insight into what falling in love with the game is really like.

​A John Wick Hex Steam key is this week's giveaway prize.

​Based on the popular action film franchise, John Wick Hex is a strategy game that slows down combat to illustrate the titular protagonist's lightning-fast reflexes. Think along the same lines as Superhot and, of course, Superhot VR.

Compose and execute an efficient attack plan to channel and embody the eponymous hitman, portrayed on the big screen by Keanu Reeves. Just note that the Cyberpunk 2077 star doesn't actually feature in Bithell Games' (The Solitaire Conspiracy) adaptation outside of his approximate likeness.

Got what it takes to eliminate targets with surgical precision? Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win John Wick Hex on PC. It's also available to purchase for £15.49 on Steam.

​Good luck!

A Guts and Glory Steam key is this week's giveaway prize.

​
Anyone else remember playing Happy Wheels instead of doing their work at school? If so, Guts and Glory will be potently nostalgic. Essentially a 3D evolution of that game's simple 2D concept, father and son must navigate deadly obstacle courses without meeting a brutal end.

​Featuring hysterical ragdoll physics and gory dismemberments, anyone with a dark sense of humour will find themselves cackling with glee. Same applies to the in-game level editor, which allows players to create devious tracks responsible for ruining fun family outings.

​Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Guts and Glory on PC. It's also available to purchase for £11.39 on Steam.

​Good luck!

A Steam key for Katana Zero is this week's giveaway prize.

​
Katana Zero is a deadly action-platformer with a gorgeous neon hue. Players must "slash, dash and manipulate time" in order to conquer high-speed levels packed with one-hit kill combat scenarios.

Fans of the excellent Hotline Miami series will find a lot to love here, with the game scoring an "Overwhelmingly Positive" user review average on Steam.

Got what it takes to become a katana-wielding assassin? If so, enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Katana Zero on PC. It's also available to purchase for £11.39 on Steam.

​Good luck!

This week's giveaway prize is a Ring of Pain Steam key.

​
Ring of Pain is a creepy and quizzical card game in which players must escape the eponymous circular structures. Ring dungeons are randomly generated and serve as standalone puzzles, challenging players to loot, sneak and stab their way to victory in turn-based roguelike action.

​Its unique gameplay pairs with a dark narrative to encourage players (and their weirdo companions) to reach the end. But, will you be able to escape the Ring of Pain or will the creeping horrors have their way?

Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Ring of Pain on PC. Additionally, the game is available to purchase for £15.49 on Steam.

​Good luck!

A Kingdom Come: Deliverance Steam key is this week's giveaway prize.

​
Set in the Holy Roman Empire, Kingdom Come: Deliverance (KCD) is a realistic open-world RPG. There are no magic spells or monsters here, while the player isn't cast as an unstoppable hero. Instead, survival is a struggle throughout Henry's story-driven quest to avenge his parents' death.

KCD is a unique blend of survival, simulation and narrative. It makes generally  mundane tasks into tales worth telling, providing that players stick with the experience when the going gets tough.

Got what it takes to survive Bohemia in the face of invading forces? Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Kingdom Come: Deliverance on PC. The game's also available to purchase for £25 on ​Steam.

Good luck!

An Amnesia: Rebirth Steam key is our Halloween game giveaway prize!

​
The latest entry in Frictional Games’ iconic horror series, Amnesia: Rebirth tasks players with surviving the harsh Algerian desert. 

Players must avoid spending time in darkness for the sake of their sanity, but also shelter from the blistering heat of the boiling sun. Gameplay quandaries don’t end there, however; forging ahead is a must to save protagonist Tasi Trianon and her dependant, though doing so leads to some terrifying monster encounters.

While Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent horror game, its compelling narrative and puzzles are worth experiencing by anyone. This is where Adventure Mode comes into play, transforming the game into a non-horror title accessible to everyone.

Looking to enjoy some emotionally impactful scares this spooky season? Enter via Gleam below for a chance to win Amnesia: Rebirth on PC. Alternatively, it’s available to purchase for £23.79 on Steam.

Good luck!
