If you’ve already played through and enjoyed Electronic Super Joy’s main game then the chances are that you probably consider yourself something of a hardcore so-and-so. In that case, I urge you to download and play Hot Sticky Mess as well, since it is essentially just more of the same but even tougher. If you haven’t played either and are quite happy with your relaxing and fun games thank-you-very-much, then I suggest closing this tab and going back to your happy life where you knew nothing of this game or its potentially life-threatening power.

The game does a great job of switching up the pacing and timing of the gameplay.

With the debut of a brand new story and placing the XCOM unit in the attack stance, this latest installment in the XCOM series will definitely meet fans expectations as well as introduce new players into the series.

If you are looking for a challenge that you do not have to become invested in, this is the game for you.

Klaus is a memorable platform game that combines a unique art style with interesting game mechanics, it’s just lacking abit of that soul which would make Klaus a more entertaining title to play.

Ocean Runner seem’s like an original take on one of the most overused genres, although invest some time and you can tell Gilbert is out of his depth. The familiar yet fun gameplay and addictive power ups unfortunately do not make up for the misplaced music, drab storyline and lack of replay value. Ocean runner does not sink or swim but it does float.

The overall aesthetic of the game is very impressive, and the Digimon look as amazing as ever.

The game is a fun and entertaining dedication to the history of Pinball, I particularly enjoyed the game modes, the power-ups and the mini-boss modes.

It’s slick, fast and enjoyable. It wont be a game that lasts a lifetime, but it is one that you can dip in and out of to try and beat that previous score.

A slightly less than average game, where you can potentially have an average amount of fun, and feel an average amount of anger at the masochism involved in your 6th death on the same level. But without any form of connection to, or caring about, the characters, this game just becomes a “could have been”.

It is a real-time strategy gem that is complex enough to make me feel similarly strategically engaged as any title of the Total War series, yet simple enough so I don’t have to read a 40 page manual before I can win my first game in multiplayer. The game does not exceed in any aspect of game development, but combines all the different disciplines of making games so well and so convincingly, that for this, I give my first 10/10 rating.

With poor presentation, horrendously awkward controls and what feels like a generally lazy approach to porting the game from its mobile beginnings, Line of Defence Tactics is a game that is outperformed by games twenty years older.

I have to praise the Bloober team for their execution and real understanding of gamer psychology on a second play of a horror game. After that there’s no reason to play again outside of looking for collectables. It’s argued that video games are a medium of art, if that is the case then this is one of the masterpieces you need in your collection.

The one minor gripe we had with Level 22: Gary’s Misadventures was that the game is over too quickly. We nailed it in less than 8 hours. Perhaps Noego Games might consider offering new levels as a form of DLC in the future. All in all Level 22: Gary’s Misadventures is a great game for anyone who loves the stealth genre or even for fans of puzzle-based titles.

Dreii is a fascinating game that keeps what it promises.

If using superpowers to stick people’s heads in fans is something you deem worth the price of admission then I guess there’s not much I can do to convince you otherwise.

Unravel is beautiful platform that really touches the heart of fans.

It might not have the highest production values, the core gameplay is undeniably repetitive and the world created can’t really compete with the depth and detail of its more illustrious inspiration, but despite these issues, Final Fantasy Explorers remains a resolutely enjoyable interpretation of the genre.

The tragedy is that Crystalline Green had an idea for a game that could have been so much more, but they couldn’t be bothered. You deserve a medal for reading all of this because you won’t feel any sense of reward playing Totem Topple.

Everything about this game feels thought out and sculpted with the player’s enjoyment in mind.

Bob Was Hungry was a horrible experience but I cannot call it a horrible game. It doesn’t really bring anything unique to the platformer genre with basic controls and basic threats but the developers do a lot with very little. They created levels that are easy to understand but provide immense challenge and without getting too stale. Bob Was Hungry is an alright platformer that I hate with a passion.

Amazing Princess Sarah, a decent little game, with some interesting gameplay ideas and character design...The game does get repetitive and frustrating at times and you probably wont want to play through it more than once, despite the added extras.

Fortified! is a good game. The art style is great, and really well done. The enemies are pretty basic but fit the bill nicely, and if you can get together a group to play with, this game could easily be worth it’s budget price.

Many will ultimately be put off by the Naruto name and the big ‘4’ slapped on the front cover, but I can assure you, despite the deep lore and intimidating title, this is the most accessible, beautiful and downright fun Naruto game of all time.

Space Hulk has a good story, great graphics, sound, narration, and missions. What ruins all of that it is overly difficult then what it needs to be, and gameplay.

It has its fair share of rough edges and the multiplayer options are basic at best, but despite signs of Milestone’s ambitions outweighing the games’ relatively limited budget, they have nonetheless created a solid, entertaining, and above all else, incredibly deep rally driving experience.

If you want fast paced action heavy moments, this isn’t for you. What the game does offer is mystery, intrigue and beautiful design. The game isn’t very long, but doesn’t need to be anything more as it feels compact, interesting and felt like a movie.

In some aspects I can see where The Perplexing Orb could have been a challenging, fun, little puzzler. Unfortunately, it never catches it’s stride. Lack of variety and difficulty begin to damper the experience all too quickly. Some good ideas are hidden in the foundation, but overall it feels like it most likely needed a few more months in the development-oven to cook.
