Greyhill Incident's only redeeming quality is that, with a two hour playthrough time, the misery doesn't last for long.
Limerick: Cadence Mansion lacks in horror what it also lacks in limerick-related puzzles, partnered with frustrating action, this is a game that was not ready for the market yet.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken is running on vibes alone; delivering a bundle of tremendously creative art design and a promising concept, tied together by the weak string of its functionality.
With its mind-numbingly tedious combat, clumsy dialogue and a storyline which sounds like it's still an early draft, Testament’s greatest crime is that it severely outstayed its welcome.
While fans of Jules Verne may appreciate this love letter to the renound novelist, "Verne: The Shape of Fantasy" is beautiful, yet lacklustre in its gameplay, voice acting and story.
Despite providing rich atmosphere with its stunning visuals and anxiety-inducing sound effects, The Callisto Protocol’s gameplay is frustratingly designed and its story feels almost like an afterthought which was quickly churned out through an online ‘survival horror game’ story generator. At least the Dead Space remake is coming out in January.
Broken Pieces isn’t a bad game, but it's not very impressionable either. In fact, I found that none of its components stood out at all and this psychological thriller was certainly missing the 'thrill' aspect.
The Thaumaturge is the perfect example of a game full of creative ideas, built on an interesting foundation, which is ultimately ruined by very poor execution.
Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness tells an intriguing story through excellent pixel art and sound effects. Although its gameplay does have its flaws, this was an enjoyable six-hour sit down.
Decarnation certainly has a lot of style with its retro graphics and themes inspired by Silent Hill and works from David Lynch and Junji Ito, however its gameplay leaves a lot to be desired by taking too much on its plate.
Although there are flaws in Loretta's gameplay and adventure mechanics, it has a compelling story, brilliant writing, gorgeous graphics, and immersive audio that will make for an enjoyable afternoon playthrough.
Despite being the most consistently enjoyable installment yet in "The Dark Pictures Anthology" series, "The Devil in Me" is plagued with game-breaking bugs, pointless gameplay mechanics and a lacklustre ending - ultimately making it the weakest entry in the series so far.
Harold Halibut is stunning with its stop motion-style graphics. It tells a wholesome story with hilarious moments and loveable characters. That being said, its pacing and gameplay issues did tarnish my ten hour playtime experience.
Although CLeM's story didn't captivate me as much as it could have, this is an enjoyable and challenging puzzle game which will put your skills to the test.
YOU WILL DIE HERE TONIGHT takes everything we loved from Resident Evil (1996) while changing the bits that haven’t aged so well.
Scene Investigators has four well-written cases to solve which are perfect for detective game fans. Unfortunately, its gameplay is in need of some tweaks for a satisfying experience.
Despite having less content, Sons of the Forest in its early access state is a shinier and better version of its predecessor and I look forward to future updates.
Despite some weak writing, The Chant is fun to play regardless with exciting fighting mechanics and entertaining lore.
While Stasis: Bone Totem is at its best with a keyboard and mouse, the clunky controls didn't take away from my enjoyment of this point-and-click horror with its compelling story, absolutely brilliant characters, and challenging puzzles.
Between Horizons is a neat detective click-and-point puzzle adventure game with a brilliant story and compelling cases to solve.
