Sometimes you get to play a game so ostensibly intriguing, so fully singular in it’s identity and style you just have to sit back a bit and go “games really are amazing.” Cosmic Top Secret, a highly personal, autobiographical game where you…

Jump from shadow to shadow as a Schim, a shadow-surfing frog, in the cool 3D puzzle game of the same name. I don't know about you, but with me there are games that simply keep cropping up. You spot them early in development and then they…

Among Trees is a survival experience for those of us who can only cope with so much stress in their lives. Wander a pleasant woodland, collecting items to help you build up your cozy cabin and just generally have a very nice time.

Right from the off, this game feels very similar to Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay, with a 3D field to explore, and stars to collect. My Little Pony does things a little differently though. Rather than individual levels to…

Tunic is a lesson in tempering expectations for me. First shown off in teaser form back in 2017. Tunic promised ambient music coupled with gameplay through a familiar inspiration. All was quiet until a couple of years later, ISOMETRICORP…

In the future when you need to ship something intergalactically you'll do so using appropriately labelled, painted, stamped and marked cubes. In Hexahedra you're the person who codes the machines to create those crates, although there's a…

Recently I have been really enjoying simulator games, and so when Winkeltje: The Little Shop came to Xbox, I was interested in downloading it and seeing what happened. This little shop game has a lot of different options, things to manage,…

RICO London removes pretty much everything I liked from its predecessor. I really rather enjoyed RICO, the 2019 roguelike first person shooter. Your cop, with a friend in tow if you wished, would choose missions to take on in apartments,…

Synthetik 2 is Berlin-based Flow Fire Games follow-up to the 2018 cult hit Synthetik Ultimate. Like its predecessor, Synthetic 2 (currently in Early Access) is a top-down action rogue-like with striking style and a tactical core. It’s a…

Most roguelites have a special relationship with death, however, Have A Nice Death has you taking on the role of Death themselves. Running a company can be tough, especially when you don't properly delegate things. Death, CEO of Death Inc.,…

A 4X historical game measured in generations rather than ages, Old World shows exactly how a tighter scope can allow for much more exciting and compelling mechanics and play. It's hard to talk about historical strategy, or 4X, games without…

Inua's gameplay fuses magical realism with the historical events of the Franklin Expedition across three timelines.

When I see a cute game appear, I want to pick it up and play it. Add in the fact that it’s an open world, slice of life styled game, and you've got me hooked. So, when I saw Clouzy!, I was excited to live in a world where I can take care of…

A game of this type isn’t likely to have an enormous audience due to its niche subject matter, but the developers have made something that could be enjoyed quite easily by someone who isn’t all that interested in the hobby. Whilst it won’t…

It’s Lynchian levels of madness, even over the game’s very short run time of under an hour. If you like shows such as Twin Peaks and Chanel Zero, where the plot is very engaging without always being very clear, then this is something that…

Goodness, it's hard to be a mercenary leader. Yet, despite that, more and more games are appearing that put you at the helm of your own gang freelancing sword-for-hires. The latest title to let you lead a company of sellswords is The Iron…

Silt is a strange thing — written up as a surrealist adventure horror, where you’re tasked as a mysterious diver sent to uncover equally mysterious things in the depths of the ocean. It’s more or less a really bizarre version of Ecco The…

Heavenly Bodies offers you the hijinks of controlling one or a pair of astronauts with physics-based manipulation in space to solve challenges and complete puzzles.
