7 / 10.0 - We Happy Few
Aug 27, 2018

While it has one of the best game worlds ever envisioned, We Happy Few stumbles over painfully simplistic gameplay and several major bugs.

8 / 10.0 - Frozen Synapse 2
Sep 12, 2018

Frozen Synapse 2 dual-wields nail-biting gameplay and engaging narratives. Despite its minor issues, it is one of the most engaging gaming experiences you can have.

9 / 10.0 - Wandersong
Sep 27, 2018

From its grin-inducing highs to its tear-jerking lows, Wandersong is a magical and captivating game. It's undoubtedly one of the best indie games out in 2018.

Oct 2, 2018

It's short but not particularly sweet. There are many other games that evoke the same feelings as The Gardens Between, but they do so far more effectively.

6 / 10.0 - Dakar 18
Oct 16, 2018

It's far from a perfect game, with many bugs and oftentimes boring gameplay, but when the game does come together it makes for a splendid experience.

7 / 10.0 - Bad North
Oct 22, 2018

A lack of variety doesn't mar an otherwise captivating game - it's a compelling strategy and tower defence game.

5 / 10.0 - Damsel
Nov 1, 2018

Damsel's gameplay never comes together, and it's too repetitive to be particularly fun.

Nov 7, 2018

11-11: Memories Retold is an unabashed artistic masterpiece; its few technical problems barely detract from a fantastic game.

Nov 16, 2018

It's a faithful and fun remaster, although it doesn't push the boat out in any way.

7 / 10.0 - Battlefield V
Nov 20, 2018

An expertly crafted shooter with worthwhile narrative endeavours, that's a little too light on content for the time being

Dec 7, 2018

Jagged Alliance: Rage! has great tactical gameplay, and enough interesting ideas, however its various elements struggle to line up to make a constantly captivating experience

8 / 10.0 - Just Cause 4
Dec 10, 2018

While it misses some of the best features from its predecessors, Just Cause 4 is a captivatingly fun experience, with enough new mechanics to be a staple for action fans.

Jan 15, 2019

My Time At Portia isn't a game as much as it is a holiday, an adventure, and an achievement in indie game production. The intriguing world, compelling systems, and simple gameplay all makes it a fantastic experience.

5 / 10.0 - 8-Bit Hordes
Jan 18, 2019

Scarce content removes the "strategy" from "real-time strategy"; this homage to classic RTS games sadly fails to imitate them.

6 / 10.0 - Circle Empires
Jan 22, 2019

It's a fun and well-designed strategy game while it lasts, but there's not enough content for it to have any kind of longevity.

7 / 10.0 - Tiny Metal
Jan 31, 2019

Tiny Metal is a fun little strategy game, although a few issues stop it from being truly amazing

Feb 22, 2019

It's probably the best RTS available on consoles right now, and a great example of an expert port.

7 / 10.0 - Tropico 6
Mar 29, 2019

It's the Tropico you know and love - but with a new developer, it should have had more than that.

6 / 10.0 - Warparty
Apr 10, 2019

Warparty is a fine game, but fails to differentiate itself in gameplay

7 / 10.0 - Imperator: Rome
Apr 25, 2019

Rome: Imperator is one of Paradox's biggest and best games - it also has a bigger focus on military expansion than their other games.
