TAPE: Unveil the Memories is a pretty solid narrative story if you're into dark themes and exploring the subconscious.

Nobunaga's Ambition is a turn-based strategy sim that does it's best to impress. Although it may not be my cup of tea, it will currently come as a welcome entry to fans of the genre.

It’s a little janky at times and the interface a bit cumbersome, but at its core it’s a brilliantly entertaining game that knows what it wants to be, and achieves it well.

For the budget price Dovetail Games are asking it is a great jumping on point for folk new to flight simulators or intimidated by the thought of a ‘full’ simulator. The content on offer is well-produced and a lot of fun. Just be aware of some potential technical gremlins.

A bopping soundtrack, crisp visuals, and a unique gameplay twist aren’t enough to save Graze Counter GM, as it’s not quite as replayable as advertised.

Gungrave G.O.R.E suffers from old style linear gameplay tropes — while the combat is fluid, the constant enemy waves over 12-14 hours quickly lose any sense of joy. Lack of available exploration also means you really only have the boss fights to look forward to.

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a very enjoyable speedrun-focused platformer with plenty of collectibles and genre clichés. It isn't revolutionary to platformers, and it runs very short, but if you don't mind the price tag, it's well worth a try.

Outcast – A New Beginning is a fun time and something fans of the first game may enjoy. It has some issues, but it's worth experiencing and protecting Adelpha from anyone who wishes to destroy it.

Tackle for Loss is a lot more challenging than you may expect, but gets better as you learn new abilities. The story is crazy as it’s hard to tell what the truth is.

Forts is a simple, fun game, has a nice sense of humour and is guaranteed to get your brain whirling as you figure out the best way to build your base, defend your weapons while also pelting the enemy with bullets and bombs. Unfortunately you’ll probably complete it with minimal fuss, but the developers do claim Forts has been made with modding in mind. Whether this will lead to the community making this game bigger and better will have to be seen.

This is a decent title that doesn't take itself too seriously. It’s not an epic saga, but it’s a nice little diversion and it’s worth a play.

An excellent adventure-puzzle game with a heavy macabre theme in an oil painting universe that keeps you so immersed you barely realise how much blood you spill until it is far too late, ultimately let down by bizarre puzzle solutions and issues with Flash player.

A great text-heavy RPG in the classic style of yesteryear. It has great writing and a whole cast of interesting characters. The retro presentation might be off-putting for some but give it a chance and it will sink its teeth into you.

Starfield shines through some glaring issues that definitely dampen the experience but don’t ruin it altogether. With plenty to see and do, sheer immersion will be enough to carry you through to the end of Bethesda’s latest offering.

Some odd priorities, excruciating pacing, and weak character writing keep this intriguing game from being excellent, even if its gameplay and presentation have received large improvements.

Hot Lap Racing has a huge selection of classic and modern cars to drive on some awesome tracks, but the difficult tutorial may scare players off.

Zenith is a game that everyone should give a go. It's charming, funny and just well made in general. Don't let the classic RPG setting fool you, Zenith is one for the books.

Space Wreck is a great example of an isometric RPG but simplified enough for new players to the style.

This is a creepy horror game with an intriguing story that requires a lot of quick thinking and planning to avoid enemies and survive. Coma 2 is definitely not your usual run-and-gun survival type game!

Although it's not as enjoyable as knocking back a few pints with your mates, Brewpub Simulator certainly has a fun gameplay loop that will keep you on your toes whilst also letting you create some wildly unconventional beers.

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a beautiful-looking game with an interesting story, unfortunately, you have to play through the repetitive Hello Abyss mode first before you can get to the really good parts in Deep in Abyss.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM SEED BATTLE DESTINY REMASTERED is a title that Gundam fans will love, though it is a bit unbalanced, making it quite challenging.

CarGo! is a fun and challenging multiplayer game that requires teamwork, but playing on your own can be tricky to do.

Insurgency: Sandstorm needs a bit more polish to be the outstanding sequel it should be but if you overlook the issues you'll find a fairly enjoyable multiplayer title.

Despite some design missteps, Pinstripe is worth your time if you're a fan of games that bring the feels.

A fun VR title, only really marred by the relative niche status of virtual reality at present meaning player counts are low. A renewed single-player aspect of the game and the continued updates could mean this becomes one of VR’s sleeper hits.

Dead Ink is a very deliberate game where every move has to be planned with thought. However, the camera and a few design choices hold it back for me.
