    Troll and I
    I’m sure that it will find a small audience and fanbase because of its premise, but for me, a lack of overall presentation, a litany of technical pitfalls and average at best gameplay means it’s best to avoid Troll and I – just as you would Troll’s apparent stench.

    A Rose in the Twilight
    A Rose in the Twilight is best described on the surface as being an undeniably bleak, somewhat charming, but consistently creative 2D puzzle platforming experience.

    Yooka-Laylee
    Starting out relatively strong in the grand scheme of things, [Yooka-Laylee] unfortunately loses focus and charm as you progress, until you ask yourself why you’re putting yourself through it just to collect quills that become useless and Pagies that simply aren’t worth the frustration.

    Snake Pass
    A refreshingly unique take on the platforming genre that introduces a duo of instantly likeable characters and a colourful game world where the simple act of moving through it is a reward in itself.

    Slime-san
    Despite its few faults however, Slime-san‘s quirkiness, its fast-paced gameplay, the soundtrack from over 10 acclaimed chiptune composers, and the 5 colour palette of a wonderfully vibrant world all culminate in a delightful game.

    88 Heroes
    88 Heroes has a great idea behind it, and it has huge amounts of charm thanks to its beautiful pixel art graphics and retro soundtrack. Unfortunately though, the gameplay can soon begin to wear itself thin when you find yourself making your way through the same level for the nth time.

    Blue-Collar Astronaut
    Blue Collar Astronaut is an experience that is simply devoid of any merit or creativity, and I very much doubt any player will find it at all fair or enjoyable.

    EVERYTHING
    Everything is, at once, utterly bizarre, brilliantly hilarious and incredibly profound.

    Human Resource Machine
    Often too complex and obtuse in its teachings to cater to newcomer coders, Human Resource Machine is bound to push away some of its audience with unnecessary difficulty spikes. On the other hand, successfully wrapping my mind around a difficult problem and coming out victorious is an exhilarating feeling.

    NeuroVoider
    Noisy, tough, but ridiculously entertaining, Neurovoider will have you praying for the robot apocalypse.

    Dark Arcana: The Carnival
    If you’ve played and enjoyed any of Artifex Mundi’s previous titles, Dark Arcana: The Carnival will be more of the same – and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

    Bush Hockey League
    As long as you’re not expecting a simulation heavy, photo-realistic experience, you should find something to enjoy in Old Time Hockey.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 3: Above the Law
    With gorgeous graphics, an amazing story, and very fluid controls, The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is shaping up to be Telltale’s best series yet.

    We Are The Dwarves
    Ultimately, We Are The Dwarves is jack of all trades, master of none. The game includes strategy, stealth and action elements but none of these mechanics are particularly well implemented.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda
    Mass Effect: Andromeda is obviously not as good as it could have been. Once you get over the fact that it’s not quite as polished as its predecessors nor does it further the series in any meaningful way though, you can still appreciate what it is: a Mass Effect game through and through.

    Rain World
    Not since Mark of the Ninja have I played a stealth game that felt so impactful, lingering in my thoughts long after I put the controller down.

    Zero Escape: The Nonary Games
    If you can handle overwrought voice acting, some nasty characters, and thin writing, you’ll enjoy the story. For fans of puzzles, thankfully there is a fast skip button that allows you to skip the overly talky bits and get to the real shining star in Zero Escape: The Nonary Games.

    Little Inferno
    If you’re the patient type who longs for something unequivocally different to play on the Nintendo Switch, Little Inferno certainly delivers the goods.

    Toukiden 2
    Another solid entry in the series and probably your best bet for a demon-hunting experience on current gen consoles.

    Kitty Powers' Matchmaker
    The joy of the game comes from Kitty Powers herself. Her hilarious and sparkling personality is enough to keep you engaged at least for a few hours.

    Clouds & Sheep 2
    What [Clouds and Sheep 2] lacks in originality, it more than makes up for enjoyable gameplay.

    Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
    For hardcore gamers looking for a solid metroidvania fix, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is quite possibly worth the asking price despite its issues.

    Touhou Genso Wanderer
    Ultimately, Genso Wanderer is a unique and intimidating game… It may lack Touhou’s epic music or its frantic bullet-hell difficulty, but it brings out what’s always been enticing about these games and, more specifically, its community’s ability to create.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
    Breath of the Wild is a marvel of design; it’s a wonder of ingenuity, and it has completely changed the standard when it comes to open world game creation.

    Legend of the Skyfish
    Good concept, but lacking depth and variety’ is probably the best way to describe Legend of the Skyfish.
    • 66 Metascore

    FlatOut 4: Total Insanity
    In this case, total insanity doesn’t equate to total fun; it equates to frequent failure. Albeit, often financially rewarding failure. No, the finer moments of FlatOut 4: Total Insanity are to be found when it’s either being more restrained or just all out daft.

    2Dark
    If you enjoy a good horror with a bleak tale – and can stomach seeing pixelated children in cages or mauled by animals – then 2Dark is definitely worth checking out.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Herald: An Interactive Period Drama
    Sure, it can be a fairly short experience, but providing you engage with it in the way the game intends you to, Herald is a fantastic experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Table Top Racing: World Tour
    From time to time Table Top Racing: World Tour can feel a bit mundane; like it’s missing a certain je ne sais quoi. It’s a game I keep coming back to though, playing the odd hour here and there between other titles, and with this approach I greatly appreciate its charm.

    Future Unfolding
    At the outset, Future Unfolding is magical experience; an elegant world waiting to be explored, with wonder at every step. But with each discovery, the wonder disappears – and isn’t replaced with anything new. Once you’ve uncovered everything the game has to show you, puzzles soon become petty barriers, the magic runs out and the procedurally-generated world loses its charm. In the end, Future Unfolding keeps unfolding for just a little too long.
