Kieran Singh's Reviews
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.

Powerwash Simulator 2 is an easy sell to those who have never tried the original, and an even easier sell to those who loved it. Relaxing and hypnotic, you’ll lose hours to this game every time you pick up the controller, and you’ll come back time after time for more.
Whether you’re new to the series or returning after a long hiatus, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a game that’s going to suck you in with its hypnotic soundtrack and addictive action.
Fading Serenades is a cute and cosy delivery game, but the repetitive gameplay and constant back and forth across the map made me want to return it to sender.
Little Rocket Lab is a lovely game, and an essential pick for fans of cosy games, but its systems are deep enough that I think the Factorio and Satisfactory players out there will still get a kick out of it.
Whether you want to switch the HUD off and live out your wildest train driver fantasies or just unwind and take photographs, Train Sim World 6 welcomes every type of enthusiast with open arms.
Your tolerance for philosophical musings will probably determine how much you enjoy Dreams of Another.
Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile brings some inventive puzzles in a fun 70's setting but unfortunately also comes with an unwanted B-plot swapping the Poirot murder mystery for a ridiculous conspiracy chase.

For those that enjoy the unhinged, 80s style programming on offer here, you’ll get a kick out of sitting back and seeing what's on. For everyone else though, you may want to change the channel.
