If you ever wanted to recreate the hit TV show, The Office, playing as a cloud and filling up coffee, then you have come to the right place.
Alekon is a stunning photography game with a ton of variety. Whether it's exploring the beautiful and vast locations or playing through the myriad of minigames, Alekon always has something for you to do. Everything in this game is packed full of charm and personality, and we cannot recommend it enough.
Henchman Story is a fun, endearing and extremely witty visual novel that not only pokes fun at superhero flicks and comics but celebrates them too.
With continued support from both the community and the developer, Escape Simulator will quickly become the ultimate escape room experience.
Get In The Car, Loser is a delightful game packed with witty humour, gorgeous art and explosive fights. It provides excellent queer representation and packs a punch with characters that we can all relate to in one way or another.
Airborne Kingdom’s unique nomadic city-builder premise is held up by brilliant multi-layered strategic decisions that not only make it intriguing to strategy veterans but very approachable to newcomers through its organic tutorials.
Back 4 Blood is a great zombie title that can fill the void of Left 4 Dead. It offers a steady narrative with fleshed-out characters and an incredibly unique card system that changes how to play each level. While the matchmaking and PvP mode feel a bit lacklustre, Back 4 Blood still provides a fabulous zombie-killing experience.
Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX stays faithful to the originals by mostly adding quality of life fixes to enhance the game. While not everything was modernised, there is enough here for players to have a great time.
Zorya: The Celestial Sisters is a near-perfect co-op experience. It offers creative and enjoyable gameplay that differs depending on which character you choose. Its challenging, yet approachable gameplay is addictive and will see you coming back for more. Despite some minor issues, this is a brilliantly phenomenal cooperative game.
Isonzo is another amazing entry into the WW1 shooter series. Its gameplay feels even more refined, offering up worthwhile innovations, engrossing modes and phenomenal maps. While its online component is exceptional, unfortunately, the same cannot be said for its offline matches. If you're looking to play Isonzo solo, maybe wait for an update. However, if you're hoping to play online, then there really isn't another WW1 shooter quite like it on the market.
Justice Sucks is a lot of fun, and completely bonkers, with many re-playable missions and more to keep you coming back time and again. Sure, there aren't as many worlds as you'd hope, and some missions aren't as in-depth as others, but if you're looking for a solid, pick-up-and-play title, Justice Sucks is absolutely for you.
GolfTopia is a good game with great potential. It offers a lot of customisation, a non-existent learning curve, and you can actually play golf. Even though it has a few minor issues and the characters look like they are from the PS2 era, GolfTopia is a must-play for any golf sim lover.
What the Dub?! is a perfect game for the party game repertoire. It's simple, cheap and downright hilarious. After a while, the gameplay can become a little dull, but thanks to the game's easy mechanics, you can always return at a later date to get a laugh.
Genesis Noir is a visually spectacular video game with an enthralling, albeit abstract, narrative. While its more gameplay focused segments often bring the game down a notch, whenever Genesis Noir treats the player to one of its lavishly animated cutscenes, it's hard not to salivate at its gorgeous art style. The eclectic mix of sound and visuals create an experience unlike any other in video game history. Genesis Noir is truly unique, and while not always a fun experience, it is by far one of the most mesmerising adventures I've ever had the pleasure of undertaking.
Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse is an entertaining game with a bittersweet sense of humour. This won't be for everyone as it is entirely reliant on the player enjoying Cyanide & Happiness' trademark cynically crass humour.
Sir Lovelot is a challenging platformer with precise controls and a gorgeous visual style.
Pako Caravan is an entertaining and addictive arcade-style game with a lot of replayability.
With an incredible presentation, flashy combat, memorable characters, and depth and nuance in its complicated time-travelling kaiju-fighting narrative, 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim is a must-play for most PS4 owners with at least a tolerance for anime melodrama.
There is no doubt Football Manager 2021 is a great game. If you’re new to it, you need to prepare to sit down and get ready for the long haul. But pay those dues, and you will be richly rewarded by the immersive world Sega has so lovingly created.
New Pokémon Snap is a visually stunning game that suffers from a lack of innovation. There are a couple of welcome additions in the gameplay. However, it forgoes key elements that made the original so successful.
