Cobalt Core review
In our Cobalt Core review, I said: “The next great roguelike deckbuilder has arrived. Cobalt Core takes everything you love about FTL, Into The Breach and Slay The Spire and blends it all into a moreish, tactical puzzle loop that just keeps on giving. It’s wonderful.”

The joy of Cobalt Core’s screen-wide walls of incoming death attacks
Ollie explores the innate joy of a game telling him “just how royally fucked I am” with its rows (or columns?) of damage numbers. Then again, even he isn’t sure whether ‘joy’ is the right word for it. Maybe he’s just terrified of lots of things in rows/columns. Who can say?

Cobalt Core isn’t just a great game, its soundtrack is also an all-timer
A musical appreciation post where I outline my five favourite tracks from Cobalt Core’s soundtrack. Spoilers: Self-Defense is number one, because it is the objective best track and arguably composer Aaron Cherof’s finest piece of work in the entire game.
