Put simply, if you enjoyed Chime, then you’ll love Chime Sharp. Anybody who enjoys a block or tangram-type puzzle would be wise to give it a go.
If you want something actively engaging, then this isn’t the title for you. But if you’re happy to let yourself relax and get lost in an intriguing, dark, sometimes funny and always mysterious narrative, then Knee Deep is definitely worth picking up.
Dream Drop Distance is a fine HD remaster, and the game is solid, if not the best of the series. 0.2 Birth By Sleep, on the other hand, should not be missed, and has got me incredibly excited for where the series is going to go next.
Despite its childlike exterior, Ittle Dew 2 certainly isn’t childsplay; this is a serious adventure wrapped up in a colourful and simple disguise.
Honestly, if you’re really into horse racing, just stick on Forza, or The Crew, or any racing game and, I don’t know, pretend they’re horses instead of cars or something. Trust me, it’ll be much more enjoyable.
Any Final Fantasy fan, no matter how many past titles they’ve sunk their teeth into, would be a fool to pass World of Final Fantasy up; this is fan service done exactly how it should be.
Every level offers a new challenge from the last, and for that, Tumble VR never gets boring.
Ever wanted to see an anthropomorphic lemon do a jive? Or see a robot twerk hard enough to make Miley Cyrus blush? Well, your dreams are now a reality.
It’s got to be said that an immersive ‘light gun’ experience is perhaps the perfect use of VR, and Rush of Blood is a brilliant showcase of how well the technology works.
Whilst Toy Odyssey eventually may feel a little repetitive… the layouts, enemies and tasks at hand change enough that replayability does genuinely feel unlimited
Handling can make or break a racing game, and thankfully the VooFoo development team have got the balance just right, with controls feeling responsive and vehicles behaving just as you’d expect them to
…the last level of Shu is by far one of the most exhilarating ten minutes of gameplay I’ve experienced in a long while
Dangerous Golf‘s biggest downfall [is] at times, it’s just too challenging for its own good
The world map is fairly sizeable for a game of its size, with plenty of different regions each with their own unique flavour to explore
7 Days to Die has little in the way of a failstate, meaning that your one task to survive often feels a little redundant
If you like your games to be a little more taxing, you won’t find anything here that will push your limits
Fragments of Him is masterfully written, with impeccable dialogue that’s realistic, emotive and never clunky or awkward
There's no sense of character upgrade or progression; any improvements made are strictly to your own skill. And if you want to get far in Downwell, then you'll need to practice your skill a lot
The game tries to tell a basic story, but it’s very unnecessary and badly written; if ever there was an example of a game genre that doesn’t require any overarching narrative, then this is it
For a very simple top-down racer, you’d expect very simple controls to match, but unfortunately Grand Prix Rock ‘n Racing seems to have something of an identity crisis
