Mick Fraser's Reviews
Despite having a siilly name and a pretty well-worn premise, Evotinction is a solid debut from Spikewave.
Despite some glitches here and there, which are likely a by-product of the speed, DeathSprint 66 is a lot of fun.
Yars Rising is a decent enough adventure, but it feels like a very odd way to revive Atari's legendary franchise.
I Am Your Beast wastes no time in establishing your character, Harding, as a John Wick-style badass, and keeps you there for the whole game.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 is a superb foray into the universe and a more-than-worthy successor to the original.
Star Trucker is either wildly infuriating or incredibly relaxing, depending on how you approach it on a given day.
Sadly, Concord struggles to find its own identity given the overused sci-fi setting and the overdone gameplay structure.
My ultimate takeaway from Tactical Breach Wizards is that I simply didn't expect it be so refreshing.
Hands down, one of this year's best action games - Black Myth: Wukong is a flurry of sublime combat and expert boss design.
By modern standards Phantom Spark may even be considered a little barebones, but it's also a relaxing, chilled out experience.
Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is exactly what it needs to be, and a great option for anyone looking for a different kind of cozy puzzle game.
Deathbound feels like an early access game at times, with ponderous, imprecise combat and a world that simply struggles to find its way.
Eden Genesis is a game for the hardcore gamer, and requires a total mastery of its systems and mechanics to get the most out of it.
A solid, if slightly formulaic, thriller, then Nobody Wants to Die manages to do little new and yet feel different to most other games on the market right now.
Despite some uneven design, Bleak Faith: Forsaken is an enjoyable, atmospheric adventure through a decaying world.
Creatures of Ava comes highly recommended for anyone who wants a low-stress game filled with hope and colour and loads of belly rubs.
For fans of the genre MArs 2120 presents a serviceable adventure with some flashy powers, but it still feels very much like an early access game.

Once Human is an immensely playable, atmospheric and addictive third-person survival crafter with a huge world to go out and explore, alone or with others.
As a narrative puzzle game, The Operator is very good. It never feels unsolvable, but isn't insultingly easy either, and presents itself with some nice touches.
