Subjects like life and death can be decidedly hard to tackle, and it is clear what Heaven Forest Nights is attempting to achieve in that it wants its players to think for themselves, go their own way, forge their own path, seek out knowledge, and make decisions without the need for instruction or guidance.
Complex, challenging, but never boring, The Sexy Brutale blends a compelling narrative, appealing aesthetics and innovative gameplay into one stylish package.
With the right crowd and the right mood, you'll have a lot of laughs and a great time. Use Your Words follows the format of the genre, but is just unique enough to be memorable.
If you don't mind the dated visuals and a few niggling camera issues, Voodoo Vince: Remastered is well worth a look if you haven't sampled it before, simply for its unique theme and varied gameplay.
Tangled Up In Blue is without a doubt one of the best Telltale Games episodes I have ever played.
With its entertaining story that you have a surprising amount of control over, Late Shift is definitely a triumph in a genre that is steadily making a revival.
By trying to diversify the experience that Aaero delivers, Mad Fellows has created a game that's certainly different, but often feels like a game of two parts, and unfortunately one of those isn't that impressive at all.
Blackwood Crossing is not perfect, but the amount of love that pours out of the game – both in terms of the visual and technical quality from the team of developers and in the palpable relationship between the characters – far outweighs any minor nitpicks you could have.
The Wild Eternal is simply enchanting. It is unbelievably immersive, incredibly moving, and teaches us all an important lesson in hardship, friendship, and the meanings of life and loss.
In a world where indie platformers are a dime a dozen, it's tough to stick out from the crowd but Blink definitely does.
The level of difficulty will likely throw casual gamers off, but if you enjoy solving puzzles that will make your brain hurt, then Induction might be for you.
I feel like Traveller’s Tales is going to be hard-pushed to outdo themselves on another LEGO game that feels as enjoyable to play as LEGO City Undercover.
If it's anything at all, Thimbleweed Park is a brave game. It's a standalone adventure with no sequel tie-ins. It's a self-contained story with interesting characters and an intriguing mystery to solve. It's unafraid to embrace its heritage and it's not afraid of modernising to improve on the old formula.
A dull, cynical, money-grabbing mess, Frank Rising deserves to be buried six feet under.
If you’ve worn out your Diablo disc, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard may fill a tiny bit of the void but mostly, its painful similarities yet numerous missteps will likely just frustrate you.
Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition brings one of the most underappreciated gems of the last generation up to date for a whole new legion of players to discover and enjoy.
It’s the narrative you discover through exploration that holds The Crow’s Eye together; reading and listening to people slowly lose their minds – as perhaps your character does too – makes the psychological thriller element of the game take centre stage. It’s just a shame that the horror never quite gets there.
PaRappa the Rapper is possibly worth buying if you’re a huge fan wanting a nostalgia trip. Just be prepared to have your fond memories of the title tested somewhat.
The Ringed City is a brutally unkind piece of content that shows the series at its best, but also unfortunately its worst.
Chaos Code seeks to carve out its own niche and it may just do that here in the west. It's an entertaining brawler in its own right and its roster of bizarre characters and ludicrous moves are just appealing enough to keep you engaged.
