At times frustrating, Garden Story is a fantastic example of how charm can help push a game to the next level, despite some frustrating design choices.

If you’re looking for a space flight simulator that is an update of the original Elite, then this is perfect. If you’re looking for a well-written interactive story about saving humanity, look somewhere else.

Loot River has addictive gameplay and you’ll want to play it again. However, there isn’t much story, which is a shame for the interesting world I found myself in.

A perfectly serviceable if underwhelming remaster that brings the Vita game to the PS4. A fine RPG that will keep you entertained but it’s definitely not the best the Ys series has to offer. A bit of a missed opportunity.

With fantastic comedic timing, satisfying combat, and loads of sex, Future Fragments is a real blast, though it takes a little too much foreplay before getting there.

Minecraft Legends is a real time strategy game with a Minecraft skin for people who don’t or rarely play RTS’s to begin with. However, if you’re a fan of Minecraft or want to play with the family, go for it.

A small, simple collection of games, VISCO Collection features titles that mostly hold well. Despite one or two games not being that impressive, and a lack of bonus content, this is a decent ode to an unsung game developer.

My Friend Pedro can be an absurdly stylish action game when everything aligns but you’ll just as likely find yourself slipping over its unwieldy controls.

Armored Lab Force VULVEHICLES is full of fun tanks and destructive action, offering twelve different vehicles, each with their own primary and special weapons to select from. The story is nothing to write home about, but the gameplay is super fun and addictive!

An easy 8, maybe even 9/10 for long time fans, but for most people points will be lost in the story department. It's never too late to catch up, but DO NOT start here!

The Necromancer’s Tale is a promising, well-written RPG with a fleshed-out trust system and rich characters, but simplistic, clunky combat hinders the game a bit.

REANIMAL continues everything great that we expect from the developer, but the short length and irritatingly small details hold it back a bit.

Despite a basic combat system and some stilted animations, there is a wonderfully intriguing adventure to be had with Mirage 7.

Don’t Be Afraid 2 faithfully recreates the first’s horrific atmosphere and shifts its focus to escape rooms. More puzzle variety and a grander scope could’ve elevated the experience, but it’s still a worthy pickup for fans of David’s story.

Koihime Enbu is a surprisingly well-designed fighter and, while it might not shake up the industry, has very little wrong with it and quite a lot going for it.

Farworld Pioneers takes elements of Terraria and RimWorld and turns it into a fun game. However, be warned, it will not hold your hand for very long and push you off a cliff before you’re ready.

The biggest flaws in I Ripped My Pants At Work are its relatively short game length, small world size and lack of a deep reason to return once finished. These problems, however, are negated somewhat by the quick gameplay loop, a charming world and small price tag. IRMPAW will provide quick bursts of smile inducing fun and is worth a go at its price.

Shanghai Summer has an enjoyable story that kept me intrigued and will be a sure hit for fans of Erased or Your Name. However, there are some minor issues that may detract some players, such as grammar and some minor graphical issues.

Kingsvein has some interesting concepts with a novel levelling and class system, but its difficulty and lack of explanation might turn some off.

Worth a playthrough. The cases are fun and engaging, even if they don’t all pan out in the clearest endings. Could use more work to stand out though.

As a whole package, I found myself having fun with Exoprimal, but the harsh lack of content and weak progression systems really hold it back. It has potential, and maybe a fantastic game later on, but right now it’s difficult to justify the price tag.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken may not be the best soulslike experience, but the world and overall designs are very impressive, despite the uninspired story and mechanical shortcomings.

If a mini meander of mind-bending meow-sochistic mouse mazes sounds like a good trip to you, then PUSS! Is undoubtedly a great recommendation. Otherwise, the purposefully stringent controls, disorienting gameplay, and rage-inducing cheap-shots might rub folks the wrong way.

Overall my time in Disintegration was a fun one, however it just left something to be desired in terms of shooting, or the RTS mechanics, I really hope that if there is a sequel to this game that they drastically improve the shooting mechanics. Multiplayer is fun and I can’t wait to spend more time with it.

Aethernaut brings one core idea to the table and backs it up with solid and varied gameplay on a level comparable to the original Portal, although the audio and visual aspects suffer.

A decent adventure title which, despite its slow pace, just barely manages to earn its keep with combat, puzzle and exploration gameplay. It doesn’t live up to its predecessor, but it doesn’t seem like it’s trying to.

Realpolitiks II is great for people with a ton of time to kill or who like to relax by simulating diplomatic relations and political scheming. Not recommended for casual players.

A collection of fantastic ideas and art direction, held together by some very unfortunate execution.
