Although sometimes frustrating and obtuse, The Procession to Calvary is a surreal and uniquely funny game well worth the pocket change you'll spend on it.
A lovingly animated and clever point-and-click which, despite issues with pacing and signposting, is still likely to capture many hearts.
In Other Waters plays like a visual novel with more depth and better graphics, which makes it a perfect game for players to relax in provided they don't mind coming up with how the game's creatures look by themselves.
One Step From Eden has an interesting premise, surprisingly deep mechanics and an insane amount of content, but as a result of unfair bosses and no tutorial, it's a tough sell to anyone who isn't a diehard fan of the genre.
With more tracks and stages than you can shake a stick at, DiRT 2.0: Game of the Year edition barrels on sideways whilst welcoming back the name that started it all: Colin McRae. Despite a lacklustre feel when using a wheel, there's still a very impressive rally simulation hidden away inside just waiting for you to turn the key.
A solid enough entry into the beat-em-up genre, but one that is only really enjoyable if you're invested in the One Piece universe.
Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it's riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.
Much like BOT C facing up against the trials inside the mountain, the few hurdles Creature in the Well faces doesn't stop it from being an outstanding game. Challenging, rewarding and (mostly) a pleasure to play, it is the epitome of creativity in the indie game space.
Nioh 2 softens the blow of its demanding combat by giving the player myriad ways to decapitate an enemy. An absolute joy to learn how to play.
Short, sweet and clunky, Assemble With Care has a wholesome message at its core, but the compromises made in porting its controls to PC mean that the mobile version is the recommended choice, assuming you have an Apple device.
Even for a game aimed at the Disney Junior crowd, there are much better options out there. Play any other 3D platformer instead.
Wilfully frenetic, Paper Beast is by turns highly detailed and oddly lacking. Despite this unevenness, this is a game with plenty to show off.
Gory and gorgeous, Doom Eternal has upped the ante with a more thoughtful approach to its fast-paced combat.
Technical issues aside, Separation is a contemplative and striking journey through a bleak, alluring world.
A new content expansion adds to a solid, fun cover shooter which improves the overall loot game by simplifying the skill and perk system, and is best played with friends.
While the community and creative software is incredible, it's exactly that: software. This isn't something you should just pick up and try out of curiosity; I can only recommend this title if you are willing to dedicate hours to making something truly amazing.
Like all of the most meaningful art, The Longing's gameplay struggles to be what is traditionally considered to be "fun" at times. However, it is a dark and thoughtful journey that tackles profound subjects, and is well worth your time if you're looking to experience something truly unique.
A vast ocean of imagination and wit wait to be explored in Deadfire, but its boat segments can walk the plank.
While there are occasional highlights, Hunt: Showdown is an uneven online shooter which would have benefitted from improved technical performance and refinement of its moment-to-moment gameplay.
Kentucky Route Zero is a maddeningly obscure visual novel, both beautifully dull and mundanely fascinating. It will no doubt split opinion, but if you enjoy an abundance of metaphor and some quirky introspection, it will definitely tick your boxes.
