Kieran Singh's Reviews
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.
Outbound is a pretty game with an addictive loop but unfortunately a slow-moving van isn't enough to differentiate in a sea of cosy/survival games.
Whether you spent your youth hanging around in a record shop or just wish you had, Wax Heads is going to speak to you and your love of music.
A delicious slice of life, inKONBINI is a lovely experience that will leave you with a smile as big as Makoto’s after she hands a customer their change.
Bus Bound is a simulation game with purpose, and seeing Emberville City grow as you breathe life into it is more of a reward than you’ll often find in this genre.
Despite a clever central mechanic that ties into its core message, Tides of Tomorrow is let down by heavy-handed storytelling, simplistic mechanics and a regular loss of immersion.
PowerWash Simulator 2: Adventure Time pack isn’t a revolutionary addition to the game, but fans of the cartoon will surely love strapping on their candy cleaner and stepping into the Land of Ooo.
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.
