Kieran Singh's Reviews
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.
Moonlight Peaks is an excellent entry into the genre, with a lovely cast of characters, a compelling story and some great farming and mechanics that’ll satisfy even the most fussy of cosy gamers.
If you’re looking for half an hour to kill then you could play Catto's Post Office, but there are better cosy choices out there that will leave a more lasting impression.
If you can cope with the sadness and appreciate the glimpses of happier times gone by then you’ll find and Roger a completely unforgettable experience.
If you’re even remotely curious about hero shooters then this is definitely one worth trying thanks to its engaging mix of tactical tank gameplay and hero shooter systems.
Thick as Thieves is a solid stealth steal-em-up that will probably be elevated by finding a few sticky-fingered friends to play with.
Thanks to a generous hint system and another excellent story, Call of the Elder Gods, is a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy.
