Mick Fraser's Reviews
If you enjoyed the challenging combat and metroidvania-lite exploration, Steelrising: Cagliostro's Secrets certainly provides more of both.
The real appeal of Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor - Martyr Ultimate Edition is the faithfulness to the universe and attention to detail.
Floodland is a great survival sim that constantly forces you to think about your actions and make tough choices.
Flat Eye is not without its ideas or charms, but in trying so hard to be provocative, the devs may have overplayed their hand.
Those who crave a good logic puzzle and get their kicks from solving logistical nightmares will find a lot to love in Railgrade.
Prodeus is an unashamedly loud and brash FPS that manages to put a true modern twist on the retro shooter.
It's not hard to lose hours to Factorio, and if you can forgiver the visuals, you'll have a ball throwing yourself into your work.
The Valiant is still a solid, compelling and, above all, enjoyable tactical strategy game that comes highly recommended for fans of Medieval action.
Warhammer 40,000: Shootaz, Blood & Teef is immediate, frantic fun that refuses to take itself, or its bleak universe, seriously.
Victoria 3 is an incredibly detailed strategy game that's as laborious as it is rewarding. You'll need to put in the work and be prepared to spend a lot of time busying yourself while waiting for things to complete.
Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is the closest we've yet come to an authentic Ghostbusters experience. Undoubtedly better with friends, it's still a genuine thrill to play alone - especially if you're the ghost.
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is an excellent adventure game. It has a likeable protagonist, an interesting world, and satisfying combat.
Batora: Lost Haven is an enjoyable action game with enough combat and puzzles to keep you busy for a while.
The Last Oricru has some decent ideas and will scratch an itch for fans of Risen, but it's not quite good enough to overshadow its peers.
Asobo Studios have delivered a runaway hit with A Plague Tale: Requiem. This is the very best kind of sequel: one that builds upon everything that came before and pays homage to its predecessor, while still carving its own path. Breathtaking.
Don't go in expecting to be blown away, and Splatter: Zombiecalypse Now is a very satisfying few hours.
Moonscars is an intentionally bleak adventure in an unforgiving world, but players who seek a genuine challenge will certainly find it here.
Return to Monkey Island feels like a bridge linking some of the absolute best point-and-click adventures of gaming's younger years with the sensibilities of the modern world.
As a straight, old-school stealth experience Serial Cleaners certainly delivers. There's very little fluff or filler, with compact mission areas, clear objectives and little reason to deviate from the plan.
Soulstice is a competent hack and slasher with a solid core concept and an interesting world history that remains somewhat under-explored.
