Steins;Gate 0 is an easy recommendation… it is a well-written adventure, with a great sense of tension and brilliantly-written characters.
Killing Floor 2 is an in-depth shooting gore-fest of an experience whose addictive gunplay won’t fail to keep you coming back for more!
Honestly, if you’re really into horse racing, just stick on Forza, or The Crew, or any racing game and, I don’t know, pretend they’re horses instead of cars or something. Trust me, it’ll be much more enjoyable.
Each setting in Adam Wolfe looks almost like a painting with each detail carefully painted on to create realistic scenes.
Motorsport Manager does a fantastic job of making the strenuous, tedious job it simulates into something much more enjoyable… It is not perfect, but is one of the best sports management games out there right now.
Yesterday Origins is simply charming, and the developers have shown a real understanding of how to make a point and click game stand out in its genre.
Even with fairly decent driving gameplay and a somewhat unique career progression system, Moto Racer 4 simply doesn’t do enough to wow veteran racing game fans or woo in newcomers who might be tempted to put pedal to the metal.
Hollow Realization is the strongest iteration of Sword Art Online to date, and an easy recommendation for fans of the anime and previous games.
Dishonored 2 is a bloody good game that builds upon the groundwork of its predecessor in many ways, but still remains perplexing in its stance of making you feel like you’re playing it wrong if you choose a playstyle that’s anything other than pure stealth.
By in large, Pankapu’s first episode shows a lot of promise. Its story and world are genuinely charming, and platforming through stages with tight controls is an utter joy.
Playing a Game Boy-inspired game that keeps things mechanically simple and fun is a breath of fresh air.
Xanadu Next is a charming RPG title that seems to have sprung out of the past for new life. It reminds us of the old-school principles of gaming, with labyrinthine levels, a vast array of enemies… and an off-beat lore centred around an epic English poem.
Slayaway Camp is a simple puzzle game that through evolving mechanics becomes a difficult and satisfying experience. It revels in both the ludicrous and outlandishly fun things that come from its original genre while making fun of its stupidities.
Barring the occasional frustration, D-Pad Studio have created a wonderful and satisfying tale filled with superb characters and marvellous presentation.
Despite a couple of niggles, Xenoraid is an excellent example of how a modern top down spaceship shooter should be done, purposefully going out of its way to do something a little bit different.
Fans of action-RPGs can’t do much wrong checking Earth’s Dawn out, but it’s by no means essential.
Atlas Reactor provokes an impending tension, utters of despair at turns wasted, and cries of joy at enemies falling victim to your ten turns of dastardly planning. Don’t let this game pass you by, it’s well worth a shot.
Krinkle Krusher is a simplistic and generic tower defence game that is made worse by its use of its imprecise physical controls.
It isn't without its faults, but altogether the cast of Duke Grabowski, along with its hilarious story, make it a great addition to the point-and-click genre.
It may not offer much of a challenge or much in the way of innovation, but Ginger: Beyond the Crystal is a decent way to pass a few hours if you’re hankering for a new old-school platformer.
