Beastro is correctly pitched as a "cosy, culinary adventure", but it's so much more than that. It's a carefully combined mixture of play styles with deliciously coloured cartoon visuals, a peppering of entertaining mini games, hearty deck-building combat and a belly-warming narrative that leaves you fully sated. And to top it all off, it's incredibly moreish.
Outbound is a gently paced, cosy camper game encouraging creative home building and exploration in beautifully varied biomes. With developer, Square Glade Games, highlighting a roadmap of upgrades and add-ons to come in the next few months, there's plenty of reasons to jump in your camper and join in the fun.
A gorgeous cinematic puzzling adventure, Planet of Lana 2 features perfectly pitched puzzles, a moving narrative, charming characters and stunning visuals that will live long in your memory after finishing it.
Clue: Murder By Death fully immerses the player in a thoroughly realised 1930's era country estate murder mystery with the welcome addition of cute, cartoony visuals. Sadly, the game is somewhat let down by a frustrating two-hour real-time playthrough limit that collides with tedious character walking speeds and frequent clunky load screens.
The Last Case of John Morley is a detective game without any detecting. This walk-through of what could be a fantastic mystery story is let down by wooden voiceover performances, dated character visuals and mind-numbing mechanics.
Slime Rancher 2 is filled with charm, joy and adorable creatures, but the fun doesn't translate to every aspect of the gameplay. In seeking to expand and add content to the game, the developers have made what should have been an effortlessly delightful experience a somewhat monotonous one.
