Kieran Singh's Reviews
Lightyear Frontier is both a no-brainer for fans of the genre and also one of the best introductions to it for newbies thanks to a consistently compelling loop of farming, exploration and customisation.
Terrible Lizards carves itself a unique spot in the genre as a creature feature horror game centred on parkour that fans of cheese will get a huge kick out of.
Despite some wobbly controls, Maestro is a fun time and it’s undeniably very cool to lead your own orchestra through dozens of tracks you’ll know and love.
Forever Ago is a beautiful tale of loss, grief and growth, and Arthur's roadtrip reminds us all that you just can't plan life.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 Dark Arisen is a thoroughly enjoyable expansion to what was already one of my favourite action RPGs, thanks to a smart new loot system and an entirely new region to explore and fight in.
Transport Fever 3 is a great game with huge level of depth and potential to really stretch your strategic muscles, even though it suffers from a few performance and interface issues.
TOEM 2 is a lovely game and a wonderful way to while away an afternoon as the beautiful visuals, hypnotic soundtrack and fun puzzles melt you into your sofa.
There are a lot of cosy gamers who will love Woodo but unfortunately it never quite clicked into place for me.
An excellent new beginners control scheme, plus quality of life improvements and real-time weather effects makes Train Sim World 7 the most accessible and enjoyable entry yet.
A hidden object game packed with wacky shenanigans as far as the eye can see, Sniper Dan is a surprisingly fun time that your family can join in with too.
IllFonic deserves some props for trying to do things differently but the incessant focus on interacting with NPCs undermines what should be a frantic time with other players.
Rather than being a satisfying driving experience, Bus Simulator 27 instead chooses to bombard you with non-essential systems and details in a bland and buggy world.
It's not going to light the world on fire but Lou's Lagoon is a fun entry into the cosy genre with a compelling gather-and-build loop set in a lovely, vibrant world.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands might not be one of the best Ubisoft outings but it's a solid and accessible shooter that works in both solo and co-op.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam offers excellent gunplay, varied classes that can all pull their weight and a focus on strategy and tactics that requires your brain as much as your reflexes.
Steins;Gate remains my favourite VN and one of my favourite time travel stories. For fans of that particular sub-genre of fiction, Re:Boot is an essential play and the new features add to the experience for both newcomers and long-time fans alike.
If you long for the cheeky English charm of Fable then you’ll find it in spades in Kynseed, which stands alongside the best in the genre.
Big Walk is completely unique and unlike anything you've played before. Between the inventive puzzles and an island begging to be explored it'll become the new group obsession for you and your friends.
If the idea of slowly and methodically cleaning an AT-AT's knee joint sounds appealing then you'll get a kick out of the Star Wars DLC Pack.
Everything in The Mermaid Mask comes together to create one seriously compelling whodunnit packed with charm, wit and driven by a memorable cast of characters.
