The roguelike elements make this a perfect fit to portable pickup and play with a very lenient save system.

It took way too long, but it's a fantastic second episode in what may well end up Telltale's best series to date.

It isn’t perfect, but EAFC has sucked me back into a mode I was about to give up on, has some of its slickest soccer to date, and hasn’t missed a beat in its transition to a new name. But it misses a chance to usher in its new era with something bold, deciding to remain mostly true to form. And that’s a shame. Regardless, I’ll be pinging passes with Rose Lavelle for months to come.

A more story-driven take on the gather & build genre, Crashlands wears its inspirations boldly, but gets away with it.

A great showcase of how a much beloved series has evolved over nearly a decade. It still has some great moments and can still feel fresh and exciting, but those moments cant hold back the slump into grinding repetition most matches end up being.

Syberia: The World Before is a solid return to form for the series, with strong and inventive puzzles and an engaging story.

Inertial Drift: Twilight Rivals is undoubtedly the best way to experience Inertial Drift. This is a game that is relatively easy to pick up, very difficult to master, but remains utterly compulsive.

Filled with secrets and dangers, Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon is a solid final offering for the three promised expansions.

Golden Lap is an addictive racing sim that has plenty of strategical elements for such a stripped back experience, making it fun to play.

Tormenture blends a retro horror game with real world escape room elements to create a really unique (and rather spooky) experience.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is a worthy successor to one of my favourite horror games and an unforgettable experience that is marred with a few annoyances.

Although a great deal of repetition is involved, and the slow controls may be enough to put people off, Kokuga is a decent example of a genre that isn’t getting enough new ideas these days.

You won't play anything quite like Republique anytime soon, and its deep storyline is worth taking the time to dig into.

Despite a few illogical puzzles and poor controls, The Inner World’s writing shines through to create a decent, amusing adventure.

The game might seem to be a little formulaic to veterans of CRPGs but it is not without innovations of its own. For developer Event Horizon, Tower of Time is an astounding entry that gives fans of the CRPG genre something different to sink their teeth into.
