Eternights is an enjoyable action RPG full of crude humour, lovestruck teens, and monstrous abominations out to kill you. Easy to recommend for any anime fan looking for their next adventure.
The scope of Baldur's Gate 3 is scandalously large and, what's more, Larian Studios manages to make good on every detail. It's up there with the greats, an adventure that any avid role-player will revel in, and one that few will ever regret embarking on.
Patrick's Parabox is a fun puzzler for all ages, whether you like puzzles or not. It's easy to play, and I found myself becoming easily addicted to solving each puzzle, losing hours of time into this fun little game.
It's A Wrap! is a unique puzzle platforming game that has you playing as both the star of a movie and the director. It can get frustrating at times, but the added hint system helps you progress and complete the film.
Fae Farm is probably some of the most fun I've had with a life simulator once I accepted it for what it was. If socialising and role-playing is very important to you in a game, maybe skip this one!
The best thing about No Son Of Mine is that it's functional and it tries to implement some good ideas. But it's ultimately more frustrating than it is frightening.
Viewfinder invents an entirely new kind of puzzle, then proceeds to flip it around and explore it from every possible angle. Despite a disappointing narrative, the creativity and character packed into that simulated world is inspirational and bloody good fun.
A fantastic addition that gives an excellent reason to revisit this great beat 'em up. The difficulty is definitely a challenge, but for fans, this is a no-brainer!
Tinting Time has an interesting crafting system and art style. However, the translation issues make it very difficult to play through and lessen the overall experience.
Tenebris Pictura's creative puzzles and novel psychic abilities are held back by frequent design flaws and a lack of atmosphere. Fans of anything puzzly and occult will find plenty to enjoy here, but there are many more refined alternatives out there.
FromSoftware once again released an utter masterpiece, with insane combat and an engaging plot, along with customisation allowing you to create the mech of your dreams.
Rainbow Skies is a vibrant and cartoony-style isometric RPG that feels like it is trying to be the next Final Fantasy Tactics but doesn't pull it off with repetitive gameplay and a story that you don't feel a part of.
While fun, challenging, and hilarious, I Expect You To Die 3 is unfortunately not perfect. The loading times could be better, and there was the occasional stutter despite it being natively on the Meta Quest 2. But that's about it! I had a blast playing it, and I really look forward to I Expect You To Die returning.
Sea of Stars is an amazing-looking and sounding title that has captured all you love from classic turn-based RPGs and improved upon it. I can't recommend this game enough; this is how you modernise and pay tribute to a classic genre!
Despite the needless busywork of some micromanaging and the missions feeling pointless, One Military Camp is a charming and often amusing base builder that's accessible to a much wider audience than some of the more complex titles of the genre.
Black Skylands has a compelling story and is a great mix of a twin-stick shooter with a flying game that switches between the two often enough that you won't get bored. Piloting a large airship can be frustrating at times, but it gets easier as you practise.
It's pretty good but has some very annoying problems and not the most logical AI. It can be enjoyable for grand-strategy players, although I can't really recommend it to anyone but the rare people who want an unexpected and honestly weird take on strategy.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a joy to play, while there are some minor growing pains, it is more than worth your time and money.
While the plot and characters in Mediterranea Inferno are interesting, the lack of any real gameplay makes this a difficult game to recommend. If you want an interesting journey but don't want much involvement, then this could be one for you.
Despite some harsh penalties and almost unwinnable scenarios, Don Duality can be a fun and addictive roguelike card game that will keep players grinding away for hours. Providing luck is on their side, of course!
