Nobody Saves the World is a superb adventure, with lots of to see, do, experiment with, and have lots of crazy fun whilst doing so.

7 / 10.0 - Scarf
Dec 19, 2021

Scarf offers a short and sweet platforming experience. It's perfectly enjoyable to play, but you'll likely be left wanting more when the credits roll.

Nov 16, 2021

Grow: Song of the Evertree is a game full of charm, and will be a relaxing world-builder for some, but a repetitive experience for others.

6.5 / 10.0 - Bloodshore
Nov 3, 2021

Bloodshore is a short and sweet FMV game with good acting and characters, let down by a lack of branching narrative and a sometimes passive gameplay experience.

A tense, action-packed tale that feels completely different from what you've come to expect from The Dark Pictures Anthology so far.

10 / 10.0 - Tales of Arise
Sep 8, 2021

Tales of Arise offers a superb blend of JRPG favourites, tight combat, and modern-day design choices. It's easily the best Tales game in years.

8 / 10.0 - King's Bounty II
Aug 23, 2021

King's Bounty II offers an enjoyable mix of a fantasy RPG and tactical turn-based combat that fans of both genres will lap up.

Little Hope has some of the best branching narrative that Supermassive Games has ever done, it looks lovely and packs a horror punch throughout.

9 / 10.0 - Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Oct 28, 2020

Pikmin 3 Deluxe has blossomed on Nintendo Switch into the complete package. With excellent coop and bags of content, it's an experience not to be missed

Sep 14, 2020

Necromunda: Underhive Wars has potential, but never quite lives up to it thanks to slow-paced battles and dodgy AI.

Sep 9, 2020

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars offers some new ideas and a cool setting to the strategy genre. However, its stripped-back approach may be too simplistic for some.

With exotic locales and new ideas, The Furious Wild DLC reminds us why we fell in love with Total War: Three Kingdoms in the first place.

8.5 / 10.0 - Manifold Garden
Aug 18, 2020

Manifold Garden is a gorgeous puzzler that is something very different. It will test you and reward you in equal measure for a very unique experience.

Aug 12, 2020

A Total War Saga: Troy is a slightly different Total War game. It's commitment to the period, and all that entails is a lot of fun and well worth a look.

5.5 / 10.0 - Terrorarium
Jul 29, 2020

Terrorarium borrows heavily from other larger titles, and due to poor execution and lack of polish, never really steps out from those shadows

51 Worldwide Games will have something for everyone. It won't knock your socks off, but you'll have plenty of fun with the variety on offer.

8 / 10.0 - Monster Train
May 22, 2020

Whilst unashamedly similar to Slay the Spire, Monster Train has enough of its own ideas to deliver its own blend of deep, addictive fun.

May 19, 2020

Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is perfect for fans of D'Avekki Studios. However, the short episodes can undermine the great story ideas and actor chemistry on display.

This is pure Deathtrap Dungeon which will appeal to some and alienate others. Eddie Marsan's narration is a notable highlight of this faithful adaptation.

7.5 / 10.0 - Wavey The Rocket
May 11, 2020

Wavey The Rocket is a challenging side-scroller with unique movement. It's difficult to master but there's plenty here for those willing to give it a go.
