Ubisoft have done well with this game but if you get frustrated easily I would maybe wait till this game has had a few more updates first before playing it.
Chicken Police: Paint It Red is a gorgeous looking film noir style game that takes everything you love from the classic buddy-cop movies and mixes it with a huge cast of anthropomorphic characters. The story, voice-overs and adult humour are great making this a must play.
Though there are a lot of issues under the hood, Pacer is a decent anti-grav racer at heart. If R8 Games continue to tinker, tweak, support and add enough post-launch content - the potential is there for this series to become a serious contender.
Time manipulation with an action hero instead of a prince. It's an interesting puzzle game in the guise of a first-person shooter, and if you ignore the story there's a lot of fun to be had here.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin is an enjoyable time for any side-scrolling beat 'em up fan who's eager for some engaging and varied combat, but don't expect to be enthralled by Wei Chang's story.
A blast to play, and brings back much needed separation and personality to the numbered series of DIRT games that that DiRT 4 seemed to lose by blurring the lines too much. Playground mode will absolutely keep me coming back for more to beat not just my own, but friends' times as well, because there's nothing better than beating a time within mere hundredths and restoring bragging rights.
Bugsnax is special. Young Horses have a unique, interesting and charming concept that's been executed perfectly. There are a few nitpicks here and there but if you have any interest in Bugsnax you'll find a game unlike any other and one I can't stop saying good things about.
I quite enjoyed the time I spent with Crysis Remastered. The game does hold up well to this day however the performance issues and the frustrating AI really hindered my enjoyment.
Unless you're already in the mood I don't think I can recommend Nyan Café Macchiato ~ Sexy Times at the Cat Café ~. If it had a scene selection you might have a use for it but in between the sex scenes you have to bear the non-existent characters and overall creepy vibe of the title. There are some pretty funny looking cats and the audio design is pretty good though.
An enjoyable stealth, horror puzzle game, that is definitely creepy, but not too scary. The puzzles are enjoyable to solve and will have you coming back again and again to figure them out. It's too bad the Chaos Servants seemed so dumb and lazy at times, as they weren't very scary at all.
It's not the most complex of games, but Space Crew serves its purpose as a decent enough sequel to Bomber Crew. It's a 4X game with a couple of missing Xs if you will. Poor controls and a lack of variety stop it from being a classic however.
Torchlight III started life as a free-to-play title, and by all accounts it shows. It won't bore you, but it's just not engaging enough to become your next gaming obsession.
A fun dungeon romp with some fun characters that hold it all together. Average exploration and combat that doesn't try anything unique but all in all a good time can be had here.
A challenging battle game that has you fighting head-to-head against aliens in a reality TV show to gain your freedom. It takes a while to get used to how the controls work and feel, but once you do this is a very addictive game.
Banner of the Maid is rough around the edges but past the pacing and localisation issues, players will find an engaging and unique narrative, along with easy to pick up gameplay that offers plenty of room to tailor the challenge.
Beautiful, challenging and frustrating in equal measure, Relicta is a game you should pick up if you want an exercise for your brain.
A debut game that sets a high standard moving forward for Polygon Treehouse. Truly fitting their mission statement of creating "adventures to feed your soul", Röki is excellent.
With some quite tricky puzzles, Ever Forward is a rather challenging puzzler. The luscious graphics and lovely soundtrack definitely help the experience, but I'd have liked a bit more game. The pacing is a touch on the slow side too, so not one for the impatient.
Worm Jazz is a clever puzzle game that can get challenging as you work your way through the levels, but it's so forgiving that it mainly just wants you to sit back, relax and listen to some smooth jazz.
An incredibly cute game full of food themed mini-games and adorable characters. This game really shines when played multiplayer locally or online. Prove that you have what it takes to become the tastiest treat in the bakery!
