Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Reviews
Roadwarden is a beautifully written fantasy world with more mystery than can be solved in a single playthrough, and that's what makes it so intriguing.
Steelrising has a great premise, and all the ingredients necessary to be a great Soulslike game. It just doesn't get the mix right, ending up all the more frustrating for how good it could be.
Some of its later levels are a little abstract, but on the whole Railbound is a handsome puzzle game with a lot of neat ideas.
Immortality is an ambitious and considered look at art, storytelling, film, religion, and many other things, but it doesn't quite catch all the metaphorical apples it throws in the air.
A gripping blend of roguelike deckbuilding and tower defence, ORX is a real-time strategy game that's all about the rush of the draw and playing the best hand you've got against a ticking clock.
A stylish, slick skater-shooter that'll give you a shot of adrenaline, Rollerdrome's sudden difficulty curve might put some players off, but it's rewarding if you stick with it.
A fun Pikmin-like with tight platforming, cute critters, and a cluttered house full of exploration potential.
You can spend many happy hours in the new Saints Row game, without it leaving a lasting impression. The story is rushed, and for all the slick shooting and driving this game doesn't feel fresh.
Its roguelike elements and course designs feel like a swing and a miss, but Cursed To Golf has plenty of visual charm and is a fun throwback to Flash-era golfing games of bygones past.
An heartfelt biopic that explores the highs and lows of breaking into the music industry.
A creative mashup of roguelite and management sim with oodles of character and charm, Cult Of The Lamb is a great (albeit finite) time for players with an evil streak.
Some of its puzzles could be more kid-friendly, but Lost In Play is a charming point and click puzzler that really taps into the joy of childhood make-believe.
Some of the busywork feels dated even for a 2018 game, and this re-release suffers from the existence of its own sequel, but Marvel's Spider-Man is a great, fun-filled, web-swinging romp. The PC port keeps all of its charm.
A heartfelt adventure that balances the poetic nature of academia with the harsh reality of a world on the brink of war.
Proving that cars and golf can somehow mix, this fun, futuristic, and fast-paced game stands tall and proud alongside Rocket League.
University management is an easygoing joy which makes it a great time for all, even if it doesn't entirely reward you for building a campus that's uniquely yours.
A tough yet rewarding turn-based tactics game with a supernatural twist on the western theme.
A point-and-click Agatha Christie 'em up about a detective giraffe solving a murder on a mysterious island in the 1920s. What it lacks any real detective work, though, it makes up for in pure charm.
A charming little management game with a lot of potential, but one that stifles the player's creativity and enthusiasm at nearly every turn.
A people management sim set in yonder Scottish highlands that is, unfortunately, a drier, slower and more bucolic take on its Rimwordly influences.
