Chaos;Child was a bit of a disappointment for me. I enjoyed its improvements, but the previous game did things in a more interesting way, as it was all new to me. So having problems reappear while new ones came to light didn’t convince me that this was a worthwhile sequel.- GameGrin

The Dark Cave is a fine roguelite that encourages thinking ahead and thinking on your feet. However, it just doesn’t quite hit its marks with its aesthetic and a little bit of its difficulty. Fun but not as memorable as it should be.- GameGrin

While the single-player offering is a little muddled and often confused regarding what exactly it wants to portray; the multiplayer is otherwise a straightforward and enjoyable experience, even if it's currently riddled with minor connectivity issues.- GameGrin

77p Egg: Eggwife is a slightly disturbing experience that still managed to impress me. The variety, weirdly good soundtrack, and solid gameplay kept me around even when the humour made me slightly ill. If you can stomach it, I recommend giving it a look!- GameGrin

In Retrospect is a short and challenging endless runner that makes you think about your life and the things that are important to you. It's a bit tricky to collect only the tokens you want to focus on, so it may take multiple playthroughs to get the desired result.- GameGrin

World War Z Aftermath is a solid expansion to the game. While the new chapters felt disjointed between sections, the new chapter mechanics brought in a challenging element to our zombie slaying fun.- GameGrin

If you’ve been harkening for something like Limbo, that isn’t Limbo, then take a peek at Monochroma. It’s a little frustrating to start off, but once you’ve got the nuances down then it all starts slotting together. As Nowhere Studio’s first title, I can only see their future games getting better as they go.- GameGrin

Though Lichtspeer may not be the deepest experience around, its confluence of moreish gameplay and eye-catchingly ice-cool presentation is a devilishly fun time that has the potential to spear ol’ boredom right between the eyes.- GameGrin

A basic job but a good one nonetheless, if you need a strategy game that isn't quite as intensive as Civilization but is gripping nonetheless, this'll hit the spot.- GameGrin

Aside from the immersive introduction, We Happy Few eventually becomes a chore more than an intense survival experience. One had only hoped, that the game became a linear experience akin to BioShock than the tacked on survival game it really is.- GameGrin

A short game that doesn’t outstay its welcome, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising was an enjoyable, if slightly repetitive, experience that serves as an ample teaser for something bigger.- GameGrin

NASCAR aficionados will likely love getting more action where they can, especially with the cancellation of events due to the pandemic at this time, but those that like a more varied racer might want to look elsewhere. If you want to dip your toes in the NASCAR water though, and find out why it’s more than just turning left, HEAT 5 could well be a good shout.- GameGrin

A fairly standard roguelike, [REDACTED] is nevertheless a fun, if brief, return to Black Iron Prison. Just with a much more colourful, flashy aesthetic!- GameGrin

It’s a very solid RPG that will likely appeal to fans of the series more than anything, but it certainly does appeal.- GameGrin

An entertaining and nicely constructed love letter to the Metroidvania games of old. If you’re the kind of person that got excited for the SNES mini then this is one to watch.- GameGrin

FIFA 18 is certainly an upgrade on FIFA 17 and undoubtedly the franchise is going in the right direction, but with the same flaws still remaining it is hard to solely focus on the positives. The game needs balancing out as far too much of the game is focused on attacking, rather than the grittier and more tactical side of football. FIFA 18 is superb to look at with the slick menus, pre-match changes, vast licences, wonderfully represented stadiums, and player images, but changes to its gameplay are a necessity for me. Having played PES 2018 and FIFA 18 this year, I can comfortably say PES takes the award for being the best football game, but FIFA still has the greater depth to it, and is the more sociable game of the two.- GameGrin

Wonder Boy Collection is a fun group of titles for people who love classic games. The ability to rewind when you die or get hit is helpful to make progress in titles like Wonder Boy, which are known for their difficulty!- GameGrin

Jurassic World Evolution 3 offers more of the same, for good or ill, but it needed just a little more to entice long-time fans.- GameGrin

I went into Beans expecting a frantic coffee shop game, and instead found a peaceful store simulation. Still, the game is just fine as a slower-paced goofy title. From start to finish, Beans shows everything that goes into running your favorite local coffee shop, and that nothing beats a freshly brewed caffeinated beverage.- GameGrin

Krut: The Mythic Wings is an alright game but fails to do anything new and feels incredibly repetitive after a while.- GameGrin

Rainbow Moon is an in-depth game with nice visuals. It offers plenty of game time to those who are familiar with the RPG genre, but I also believe it would not deter those who are not familiar to games of this ilk. Battles can be a chore to begin with, but with time, Rainbow Moon shines through.- GameGrin

Trifox is an interesting mix of a 3D platformer and twin-stick shooters with a unique skill tree system that allows you to make your own loadouts. The pacing felt slow, and there isn't much of a story here.- GameGrin

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is a reach too far for a small indie studio to handle and it shows. While the game plays well and looks fantastic, the lack of a decent story shows that the developers were under tight budget and time restraints. If they would have had more time and money I believe that Shiness could had easily been a better game. While Shiness has some positives like the overall design and the combat, the lack of a compelling story ruined the experience.- GameGrin

Euro Fishing provides a way to enjoy lake fishing for those who either don’t have water nearby, don’t fancy sitting by a lake for hours providing food for midges, or just wish to enjoy some off season virtual piscatrial pursuits. There are glitches that can annoy, but they don’t destroy totally the relaxing atmosphere and challenges the game brings.- GameGrin

Beeftacular isn’t pretty, or interesting, or all that deep. It’s a game meant to challenge, and on it’s hardest difficulty it can prove quite frustrating. It’s hard to play the game and not stack it up against its inspirations, though, and in those comparisons, it’s inferior. Nevertheless, it’s fun, and if you have ever craved a Super Meat Boy and 10 Second Ninja mashup, Beeftacular will sate your appetite.- GameGrin

Blood Bowl 3 is a solid game that has a RNG system and match breaking bugs that will make you want to rage quit while the graphic and sound design, including the humour, reminds you: it’s just a game.- GameGrin
