Review: Hive (PC, Early Access)

Hive PC Game ReviewReview by Shaan J.

While I'm not the biggest fan of board and trading card games, I do enjoy it when they get digitised in the form of a game. These digital versions often (if not always) cost less than their physical counterparts, and while they are still better played with (or against) others, the rise of Internet play helps to counter their inherent reliance on multiplayer. As an added bonus, these games often feature some excellent artwork and visuals (here's looking at you Magic 2014), along with single-player campaigns for those who like to hone their skills offline.

Unfortunately, when compared to the standards set by other games in the genre, Hive comes off as a bit of a disappointment, despite some deep and surprisingly original mechanics.
