The Isle Tide Hotel is an intriguing FMV game full of sinister mysteries to solve, but the pacing early on really makes it difficult to recommend.

9.5 / 10.0 - Gunbrella
Sep 13, 2023

Gunbrella is a sensational action platformer with incredibly fluid locomotion and a story that takes some unexpected turns.

6.5 / 10.0 - Eternights
Sep 11, 2023

Eternights combines hack and slash action with Persona social links, but has a few too many issues to recommend to everybody.

Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten is a perfectly serviceable RPG, but with so many great alternatives it's hard to recommend.

Sep 5, 2023

Chants of Sennaar is one of the most unique and interesting puzzle games I've ever played, and it routinely makes you feel like a genius.

Sep 2, 2023

Goodbye Volcano High is a charming visual novel packed full of great ideas, with a really interesting way of handling narrative choice.

Aug 29, 2023

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles might struggle to stand up to modern RPGs, but it's a thoroughly charming bit of gaming history.

10 / 10.0 - Sea of Stars
Aug 28, 2023

Sea of Stars is the new benchmark for turn-based RPGs, with sublime combat, a cast of charming characters and a soundtrack that's an all-timer.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case has its fair share of issues, but if you're a Poirot fan you'll still get a kick out of it.

Aug 25, 2023

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has a lot of promise, but it'll need some updates before it can truly be called great.

Aug 24, 2023

Mediterranea Inferno is outrageously weird, intensely homoerotic, and absolutely wonderful, and I never wanted it to end.

5 / 10.0 - WrestleQuest
Aug 17, 2023

WrestleQuest is a fantastic concept for a video game, but slow pacing, annoying voice lines and a ridiculous amount of QTEs spoil it entirely.

10 / 10.0 - Vampire Survivors
Aug 16, 2023

Vampire Survivors is a game that I could happily play every day for the rest of my life, and now I can do that on the Nintendo Switch.

7 / 10.0 - Affogato
Aug 16, 2023

Affogato combines a lot of interesting ideas, from Persona time management to coffee making, but there's a lack of things to do with your freetime.

8.5 / 10.0 - Marble It Up! Ultra
Aug 10, 2023

Marble It Up! Ultra is good old fashioned ball rolling fun, and if racing past obstacles is your idea of a good time then you're in luck.

8.5 / 10.0 - Tales & Tactics
Aug 10, 2023

Tales & Tactics is an incredibly dense Roguelike auto battler, that once you put the time into learning you'll never want to put down.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is full of charming gods and funky songs, and some issues with sound levels aren't enough to ruin that.

4.5 / 10.0 - Adore
Aug 2, 2023

Adore brings action packed combat to the monster collecting genre, but unfortunately it's just too repetitive and frustrating to recommend.

Aug 1, 2023

Verses of Enchantment is a deck building game that pumps out AI generated poetry as you play, but repetitive battles hold it back a little.

9 / 10.0 - Venba
Jul 31, 2023

Venba is a lovely little narrative game about the struggle of raising a child as immigrants told via food, but it'll be over too quickly for some.
