All things considered, then, Obey Me is… fine.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling Hot Garbage, well, hot garbage. But it’s certainly not great, and it’s somewhat tarnished my otherwise excellent experience with Journey to the Savage Planet.
Needless to say, if you enjoyed The Division 2 and are looking for more content to stick your teeth into, consider The Division 2: Warlords of New York an essential purchase.
Perhaps I was just extra-emotional while playing, but few games have had the impact on me that Lost Words: Beyond The Page has.
Few Rogue-like games have grabbed my attention quite like HyperParasite has.
If you’re looking for a game that’ll keep your younger children occupied, Gigantosaurus: The Game could be it.
The hidden object genre is not for everyone. Its games are a niche breed, but for the right person they can provide a lovely, relaxing way to spend a couple of hours.
If you enjoyed Zombie Army 4 – like we did – then you shouldn’t hesitate in picking up its DLC. It doesn’t shake things up (and the name ‘Terror Lab’ might be slightly misleading), but it’s more gloriously gruesome zombie-shooting action.
Not only is it a hoot to play, Roundguard looks great thanks to a bright and bold cartoon art style.
Whether you’re a fan of Picross, or whether you enjoy a good murder mystery, I can’t recommend Murder By Numbers enough.
If you’re a Picross fan, there’s a lot to like in Depixtion.
Seriously, One Finger Death Punch 2 is a hell of a lot more fun than it has any right to be. And for such a cheap price, there’s absolutely no reason to not give it a go.
Two Point Hospital on console is simply a delight. Anyone who has fond memories of playing Theme Hospital will find themselves right at home here.
It’s brash, it’s messy at times, and it’s not exactly a good-looking game, but I can’t help but like Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold. Its silliness is endearing, its larger-than-life characters will make you chortle despite yourself, and even if you’re not an immature child, come on – it’s hard not to laugh at a negative status effect that makes your character constantly fart.
Ciel Fledge: A Daughter Raising Simulator has some great ideas. But the moment-to-moment gameplay is, for the most part, dull and not all that engaging.
Despite its short, singular narrative, [Florence] is one I will undoubtedly visit multiple times. Just because it’s so touchingly beautiful.
Packed with droves of tension and atmosphere, The Suicide of Rachel Foster will keep you on your toes.
I’d have liked to have had more fun with Table Manners, but its purposefully-awkward controls ended up being just too awkward to bear. It’s a balancing act, and sadly I feel like developer Echo Chamber Games has missed the mark.
Sadly, nobody’s a winner playing Bookbound Brigade, and there’s nothing to celebrate by taking part, either.
With solid mechanics, one of the most imaginative game worlds we’ve seen in a long time and a killer sense of humour, Journey to the Savage Planet is pure joy from start to finish. Considering this is the first game from developer Typhoon Studios, it’s left me really excited to see what else they can come up with.
