Kieran Singh's Reviews
A Storied Life: Tabitha tells a personal tale about the titular character as you complete her memoir using a unique combination of packing gameplay and a Mad Libs approach to storytelling.
For such a small game, Find Your Words really left a big impression on me. It’s a warm hug of a game that’ll put a smile on your face too.
If they built an entire game around the cleaning mechanics then I'd be there in a heartbeat, but there's still something undeniably lovely and calming about Hozy.
Go Home Annie is a game of two halves, with the first packed with intrigue as you take a tour of the SCP and the entities it contains, while the second unfortunately frustrates with poor stealth and confusing puzzles.
Fishbowl tells a touching, if extremely dour, tale about grief and isolation. While it may be too grim for some to enjoy, the cast of characters and Alo's journey through the pandemic make it worth sticking with.
Despite being a bit basic and lacking some polish, Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor is a nostalgic love letter to a childhood favourite.
Pokemon Pokopia is a fantastic entry to the cosy and townbuilding genres, and easily one of the greatest Pokemon games I’ve played.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is still a fantastic stealth game with characters that are fun to use, and now you can take it on the go with you.
Between the array of behemoths you’ll be piloting and the business management that keeps Port Wake running you’ll find Docked effortlessly immerses you in its world.
Back to the Dawn is a fantastic TTRPG with more systems than you’ll know what to do with at first, a huge cast of interesting characters and enough replayability to keep you coming back over and over again.
Styx: Blades of Greed is a set of very good stealth mechanics and well designed levels wrapped in a fairly uninteresting and occasionally baffling narrative.
Despite its early access status, Starsand Island is packed with all the life sim goodness you'd expect, and an incredibly gorgeous world to do it in.
Cairn is a deceptively brutal climbing game at times, but the beautiful visuals, varied story threads and tactile mechanics ensure it's a climb worth making.
I Hate This Place has some great visual flair and interesting lore but unfortunately it's bogged down in an obtuse and often uninspired survival stealth adventure.
Cozy Caravan is real low stakes stuff, but if you can put up with the slow tempo then you’ll find yourself enjoying this warm and whimsical world.
Skate Story is a fantastic entry into the skating genre, not only by virtue of being unlike anything else we’ve seen before, but also because mechanically it’s just a very good skateboarding game.
A Pizza Delivery is a great concept that needed much longer in the oven. As it stands the game is half-baked, full of bugs and doesn't hit the emotional notes it's aiming for.
The Berlin Apartment tells some wonderful little stories that’ll make you feel emotions from both ends of the spectrum, and it gives a heartfelt glimpse into life in Berlin at key moments in its history.
A twisting, turning tale told over a repeating 47-minute timeloop, Rue Valley unfortunately crumbles under the weight of its narrative ambition.
With smart, witty writing delivered by top tier talent, Dispatch tells a gripping story that will have you laughing out loud and gawping at the consequences of your decisions in equal measure.
