    Monument Valley has rightfully earned its reputation. Thanks to its artistic depth and unique puzzle mechanics, it's more of an experience than a conventional game. Its breathtaking visuals and engaging puzzles leave a lasting impression.

    It's hard to do anything but recommend Clash to anyone familiar with the studio's wacky games, or those who happen to have an Apple device of almost any kind and could use a bit of a laugh.

    Despite a somewhat dull graphics style and a clichéd story, I'm happy with the gameplay. It offers the right amount of depth for its genre and the level editor helps users create new and interesting content.

    Unidentifiable and boring, that's Football Heroes League in a nutshell and I hope Run Games can stir the pot and fix the game before it's released, but to be honest I don't think it's possible without throwing everything in the bin and starting from scratch. [Early Access Review Score = 20]

    If you're up for a quirky little indie game with a top-notch soundtrack, you should check out Antro. It's worth the short playtime - and you'll be helping a small new developer at the same time.

    My patience has been tested more than in any game in a very long time, and my simple advice is to avoid this game as much as possible. If you want a post-apocalyptic isometric perspective and world to explore, I would rather recommend Interplay's Fallout games, which did this much better back in the 90s.

    You may experience some rough edges and strange design decisions here and there, but overall you get a title that reminds you a lot of the genre's heyday where gothic castles and bloodsucking vampires were the hottest thing on the market.

    Against the Storm comes with a big recommendation from us if you have even the slightest interest in strategy games and city builders.

    Eight years after its original release, Little Nightmares still holds up. The updated visuals just make it even better, and the beautiful lighting, dark shadows, and dramatic camera angles further highlight how excellently the visuals are designed. It's beautiful, freaky, and a little scary at the same time.

    Wheel World is an easy to pick up and enjoyable experience that doesn't require much investment from the player, despite having a fabulous balance of fun gameplay, memorable visuals, and customisable features. For a title that you can see in its entirety over the course of two-to-three days, there's not many reasons why you shouldn't be giving Wheel World a go this summer.

    Grounded 2 strikes me as a very traditional survival game in practice, even if the intuitive design and the enjoyable and memorable world stand out as highlights. This is a game that you will love for a few hours and then steadily lose interest in, unless you're a die-hard survival fan that lives and breathes this genre. [Early Access Score = 70]

    The game without ads became a lot less frustrating. Unfortunately, the analogue stick controls are a tad too slow, but otherwise it's an excellent port, and fortunately there are still touch controls if you're playing handheld.

    Apart from minor annoyances, A Dream About Parking Lots is a nice little walking sim. In many ways, it's more of a therapeutic experience than a game, and considering what these kinds of games usually cost, the £3.39 you have to pay for it is nothing.

    If you are keen and interested in an action role-playing game about Greek gods and heroes, this is worth keeping an eye on. If you don't mind limited content at first, this is worth a try. However, if you want the full experience, you're better off playing something else while waiting for 1.0. [Early Access Score = 70]

    DC Worlds Collide is a game that does some things right for fans of the DC universe and the gacha genre. It offers a reasonably fun and addictive collecting experience, with a wide range of well-known characters and automated battles that make it accessible to casual players. At the same time, the game has some obvious flaws. The childish graphics, lack of voice acting, automated battle mechanics, and sometimes frustrating monetisation model prevent the game from truly reaching the top tier.

    Hide the Corpse is something different. A quirky puzzle game that dares to be weird and embraces its macabre sense of humour. The simple but clever concept holds up for several hours of fun, even if the nausea creeps in. The overall package feels a bit half-baked, repeating itself too often, but with a little polish, this indie oddity could evolve into something much bigger. There's plenty of potential in corpse-hiding chaos.

    Whimside is a small title where, if you're consistent and want to enjoy the classic Pokémon nursery mini-game experience, but with an added twist, it might be for you.

    Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is a good attempt at simulating a firefighter's job out at accidents and fires. However, it's not quite as good at simulating the outside world, human reactions, and the rest of the firefighter's daily life.

    Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club succeeds in immersing you in the world of Peanuts and adding some light-hearted fun to your gaming library, but while it might have got the atmosphere right and will be a fun adventure for younger fans, it's unlikely to impress the young at heart unless they're playing with younger family members.

    I feel that iRacing Studios is ultimately using this product to lure you, the player, into the extremely expensive iRacing, where the NASCAR experience is significantly, significantly better in terms of driving, and that in itself is more than a little absurd.

    My play sessions, which have lasted roughly twenty or thirty minutes at a time, have all ended with me realising that I'm not having much fun in the end. It's a bit too simple and quickly becomes mostly repetitive. So even if the content that is available still works and each short dose offers a game session where reflexes and patience are properly tested - everything falls into oblivion the second I switch off.

    Considering it's an early access game, it's actually one of the most polished games I've played in a long time. It's super cosy and deep, so the fact that it's only in early access is pretty impressive. I can't imagine what it will be when it hits version 1.0. If you're into real manual labour in an age where everything needs to be automated, try Tavern Keeper.

    Drywall Eating Simulator is a game that talks about the present without understanding it. It's not subversive, not provocative and definitely not funny - just tiresome. So by all means, stay as far away as you can from Drywall Eating Simulator, don't even get it for free. Spend what little time you have on this earth on something more sensible.

    Taxi Chaos 2 lacks (apart from the obvious lack of speed and a fun open city to hang out in) charm and attitude. Everything feels flat on all levels, and the mere fact that there isn't a killer soundtrack is one of many ingredients that reveal a lot about how limited the production probably was.

    There is plenty to play in Cassette Boy, although, as mentioned above, it involves a lot of searching and endless trial and error. I'm actually a little annoyed by the game's unnecessary cryptic nature, because in other respects it's a fun little adventure that's really worth getting to know and has a lot of delightful things to discover.

    Earnest Evans Collection is not the throwback to the great games of yesteryear that I had hoped for. Rather, it is a reminder that for every old retro game we love and look back on with nostalgic glasses, there were also lots of half-baked wannabes.

    "Cosy gaming" is a genre defined by a calm, cosy and relaxing atmosphere. These attributes can certainly be applied to Roach Post. It is cute, very peaceful and has a cartoon style that is both cheerful and pleasant. It is simply what it is - nothing advanced and nothing that will make your jaw drop in amazement. But as a mental palate cleanser? It fits perfectly.

    There is a saying that "it's the journey and not the destination that counts," and those are words I have always lived by. But what do you do when the journey is sadly boring and all you want is to reach the destination? I'm not really sure which target audience will appreciate this game. It's for ages three and up, and maybe a very small child would enjoy flying a parrot on an uneventful adventure with no point whatsoever, but what do I know? But I need something more and, above all, something meaningful.

    The original review was scored a seven, and I give the remaster the same. Ultimately, it is simply a good Japanese role-playing game without belonging to the greats of either the genre or the series.
