8 / 10.0 - Kombinera
Apr 13, 2022

Kombinera is a simple but incredibly challenging puzzle platformer, and if your brain can handle it you'll have a blast.

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition brings possibly the best PS1 JRPG to Europe for the first time, and it simply must be played.

8 / 10.0 - Coromon
Mar 31, 2022

Coromon isn't without its issues, but fans of catching adorable monsters will love it.

Mar 24, 2022

Move or Die: Unleashed is an absolute blast with friends, with plenty of fast paced minigames to trash talk and squabble over.

Mar 24, 2022

Gunborg: Dark Matters is a fantastic twin stick platformer, with a ton of variety and frantic twitchy action.

6.5 / 10.0 - Wife Quest
Mar 24, 2022

Wife Quest is a fun action platformer with great power ups and intense boss fights, but its obsession with breasts is its undoing.

Mar 7, 2022

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a gorgeous looking JRPG, but its slow pace and amount of random battles make it a painful experience.

Mar 3, 2022

What Lies in the Multiverse is a sublime puzzle platformer. The puzzles are engaging and the story balances comedy and drama with aplomb.

8.5 / 10.0 - Variable Barricade
Feb 24, 2022

Variable Barricade is a delightful rom-com of a dating sim, with charming characters and a ton of endings to discover.

Atelier Sophie 2 is a high point in a fantastic series. Gathering and alchemising materials has simply never been so compelling.

8 / 10.0 - Monark
Feb 16, 2022

Monark's creepy setting, tactical combat and banging soundtrack is well worth experiencing, but prepare for some obtuse puzzles.

7 / 10.0 - OlliOlli World
Feb 3, 2022

OlliOlli World is a beautiful game, but the gameplay gets very frustrating after the first few worlds.

7 / 10.0 - The Company Man
Jan 21, 2022

The Company Man is a fun action platformer, but with some balance issues and checkpoints miles apart it's hard to recommend over its peers.

Unscored - The Anacrusis
Jan 7, 2022

The Anacrusis looks to be everything I want from a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead. The pick up and play nature is compelling from the drop, and the 70s sci-fi setting is so refreshing. The AI Driver really makes every session totally different, facing different combinations of aliens in different settings doesn’t get stale. I know the next few months of my life will be spent replaying the game over and over again with my partner, and I can’t wait.

Fractured in Alterac Valley contains some great cards and has a great faction warfare theme, but ultimately doesn't shake up the stale Hearthstone meta enough.

6 / 10.0 - The Gunk
Dec 16, 2021

The Gunk has a fantastic setting and lovely characters, but ultimately the gameplay is lacking.

Dec 12, 2021

With hugely varied gameplay and compelling Roguelike elements, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon is a contender for greatest ever puzzle game.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still exceptional 18 years later, and this new Switch port is the best version we've ever played.

Nov 15, 2021

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is Holmes but not as you know him, with a fantastic and unique story, plenty of crimes to solve, and a sprawling tropical island to explore.

8 / 10.0 - Demon Turf
Nov 8, 2021

Demon Turf has a truly unique look and varied platforming gameplay
