Sofie: The Echoes looks like a compelling story-driven shooter at first glance, but it's rife with awful enemy AI, optimisation issues, poor design choices, and game-breaking bugs. Steer clear of this one.
Dead Season is functional and fun at times but is let down by strange design choices and a repetitive campaign.
A perfect, charming platformer that will delight players throughout the entire journey. This is an easy recommendation and a must-play!
it's a great time with solid writing and gameplay, but there's no reason to replay to explore the world
Mexico, 1921. A Deep Slumber. is an interesting look into the history of Mexico from the eyes of a normal citizen. The camera mechanics are great and the plot seems interesting, but it is let down by some major bugs.
Toads on the Bayou is a challenging game with a fun voodoo-inspired story, great look, and fun characters. I was only able to play a small part on PC, so I hope it gets fixed!
Talisman: Digital 5th Edition breathes new life into this classic board game. The new art and animations are fantastic, without losing the signature style. With the less harsh events and streamlined rules, you may even finish a game in a session!
A fairly standard roguelike, [REDACTED] is nevertheless a fun, if brief, return to Black Iron Prison. Just with a much more colourful, flashy aesthetic!
GSC Game World nails a unique mixture of genres between survival horror and open world with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The atmospheric environments, engaging gunplay, and the constant feeling of threat culminate in a heavy recommendation from me for fans of the genre.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a fun addition to the series and for the Switch. It has fun gameplay and great humour, but feels repetitive at times and quite long.
Although it has some interesting aspects, Together in Between is largely unenjoyable due to the gameplay being repetitive button presses with little thinking required.
Soul Stalker is a cute, cosy bullet-hell game which is a unique combo to find, but its small stages and soundtrack don't make this title super exciting to play.
Kill Knight manages to mix hectic and ultra-responsive arcade gameplay with a fun layer of resource management and strategy to create a great challenge to bite into. The visuals are splendid, the enemies never stop coming, and the battle is glorious!
BEHEMOTH is an addictive arcade game that is a chaotic version of Flappy Bird. If you always want to get the highest score, you will enjoy this game.
Tails of Iron tells an impressively deep story with no dialogue and keeps you entertained in the interim with witty charm and gruesome combat. Definitely worth a try if you are a fan of soulslikes.
Diplomacy Is Not An Option offers plenty of modes for beginner and experienced RTS players to enjoy, with a tongue-in-cheek attitude and gameplay that's easy to understand.
Lords and Villeins: The Great Houses is a boost to an already great game while not fixing the small issues the base game has. If you have already completed the base game or want to play a slow game of conquest, this is your perfect DLC.
A fun experience with interesting mechanics that is only let down by a dull combat system.
As mech games go, MechWarrior 5: Clans is an easy-to-recommend title full of action and drama. It may take itself too seriously, but this is still a brilliant sci-fi adventure.
Viscera is a really great time, revelling in its endless enemies to kill and guns to fire. What's underneath those blood and guts can be shaky, if you're looking for something fun, dumb, and awesome, check it out.
