Metaphor: ReFantazio is another landmark game from the Persona team, with top tier combat and a gripping story that I couldn't stop playing.

Sep 24, 2024

Bloomtown: A Different Story is a charming RPG set in a sleepy American small town, with great combat and a banging soundtrack.

8 / 10.0 - Exographer
Sep 24, 2024

Exographer is a puzzle platformer with a healthy love of science, and its many clever mechanics make it a joy to dive into.

Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis - The Answer DLC may be lacking some social elements, but it's hard to deny more great Persona combat.

8 / 10.0 - Bzzzt
Sep 23, 2024

BZZZT might not be a game that breaks the platforming mould, but it's a hell of a good time with tight controls and varied stages.

Sep 17, 2024

The Plucky Squire is a game oozing with charm and positivity, and the clever word and book based puzzles will keep you gripped from start to finish.

9.5 / 10.0 - UFO 50
Sep 16, 2024

UFO 50 is a celebration of retro gaming, full of wonderful modern ideas, sensational video games and a whole lot of content.

5 / 10.0 - Funko Fusion
Sep 13, 2024

Funko Fusion is unfortunately not the joyous celebration of pip culture it should be, thanks to frustrating enemies and lots of dull levels.

7 / 10.0 - Hollowbody
Sep 12, 2024

Hollowbody is a classic survival horror experience which will delight fans of those PS2-era frights, but some of the dated elements will frustrate.

Sep 11, 2024

Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is a delightful 2D platformer, with slick swinging gameplay and loads of lovely collectibles to gather.

Sep 10, 2024

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is a baby sized adventure with an all grown up price tag, with poorly designed stages and frustrating enemies.

10 / 10.0 - Astro Bot
Sep 5, 2024

Astro Bot is a love letter to video games that sets a new standard in 3D platforming, with ridiculously creative stages and gorgeous visuals.

8 / 10.0 - Demon's Mirror
Sep 5, 2024

Demon's Mirror is a seriously clever Roguelike deck builder that blends cards and gems to create a wonderful if slightly overwhelming game.

7 / 10.0 - Peglin
Sep 4, 2024

Peglin is the blend of Peggle and Roguelike I never knew I needed, but the luck factor and repeating layouts let it down a little.

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection bundles up two of the best games in this wonderful series, and demands to be played.

9 / 10.0 - Crypt Custodian
Aug 29, 2024

Crypt Custodian is a sensational top down Metroidvania, with compelling combat, loads of upgrades to experiment with, and of course cats!

Aug 29, 2024

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a character action game full of blood, swearing and clever ideas, and if that doesn't excite you I don't know what will.

8 / 10.0 - Bakeru
Aug 29, 2024

BAKERU is a lovely Japan inspired action platformer, with novel drum-based combat and sensational collectables to gather.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash is a decent party game, but some poor events and a lack of tutorials spoil the experience a bit

Aug 21, 2024

DREDGE: The Iron Rig is a nice excuse to get back onto that eerie ocean, but if you've already completed the game it's a bit lacking in danger.
