Despite its originality, Perception is only worth a look for those who can see past its shortcomings in pursuit of a fairly compelling narrative.
Starpoint Gemini Warlords is a solid space strategy game; an eye-pleasing time-eater which will more than sate your desire for galactic conquest.
Aerea‘s story is great, the concept is lovely, but the execution doesn't hit the right note. It's colourful, full of bombastic music and character, but lacks depth and fluid gameplay mechanics.
Housemarque has done it again; Nex Machina is a brilliantly action-packed shooter that's engrossing, addictive and absolutely sublime from start to finish.
If you're looking for a new word game, or just something to keep you entertained for hours on end, then Spellspire will be well worth your investment.
I take my hat off to developer Kyle Seeley for being able to create such a realistic-feeling experience from something so simple, but just one that made me very glad my teenage years are well and truly and thing of the past.
What LKA has created here transcends being "just another video game"; The Town of Light is an incredibly important insight into a dark part of history that, thankfully, most of us are too young to have lived through.
If you like arcade style shooters and metal music, Air Guitar Warrior Gamepad Edition is essential. If you like only one of those things, it's highly recommended. And if you like neither of those things? Well, you're no fun.
Monolith is clearly a game with a lot of heart and it shines through with every moment.
It's hard to not like Jump Stars. From its cutesy playable characters to its easy to pick up gameplay, it's accessible and enjoyable for all, no matter their skill level.
If you're not bothered about extra loot or costumes, then Episode Gladiolus might not be that worthwhile. But if you're a fan who was invested in Final Fantasy XV's main story, finding out what happened to Gladiolus and learning where he got his scar from is a very welcome addition.
If you're a fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and yet still on the fence with regards to the Telltale series, I'd consider getting down and making a purchase, pronto.
Portal Knights deserves credit for attempting to blend two distinct genres… it just does so little to distinguish itself, resulting in an unrewarding title that doesn't draw you in.
If you're a fan of the series, Tekken 7 will blow your bloody socks off. And if not, well, it's still likely to impress if you give it the chance.
Caveblazers is a solid roguelike that always feels fair and gives players a real challenge to complete. The combat is fast-paced and exciting, and the controls are as tight as you could hope for.
I can't stress how much fun SUPERHOT VR is when you become fully immersed… it's like being able to be both John Wick and Neo at once. You can have your cake, eat it, and then be offered seconds.
If you're wanting to pick up an accessible space shooter that you can casually play but has a great deal of depth, Everspace comes more than highly recommended. It's a game that will have you hooked no matter your skill level.
As a standalone title Victor Vran is a solid contender for those looking for ARPG action outside of Tristram and Sanctuary, but it's with the Motorhead Through the Ages DLC that things really get going.
While it may superficially retread a similarly desensitised violence found in the original film, little else could be compared from one to the other. In fact, Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days is better an example of Lionsgate's misuse of the original property, shelling it out every so often for some quick cash here-and-there.
Borealys Games, the developer of Mages of Mystralia, has really created something special here in my eyes, and it deserves to be played; if not for its spell designing system that truly is extensive, then just for the sheer joy of a hearty and extremely enjoyable unadulterated adventure.
