Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is quite simply like nothing else in the medium. If you missed it on PC, it’s absolutely worth picking it up on console and investing some time and effort in its wonderfully complex world.

Its gameplay is good, but what really sets El Hijo apart is its amazing setting and charming use of a child protagonist.

If you want to platform one minute and build houses the next, then Smelter might just be the genre hybrid for you.

Nier Replicant is so damn fun to play. Combat is ultimately its best feature, but some of the ideas are implemented superbly, whether in the story or the mechanics.

Demon Skin isn’t a bad game, but it is ropey and certainly needed more work where the animations and menus are concerned.

It isn't a bad game, but Stitchy in Tooki Trouble is just too slow moving and simple for anyone with platforming experience.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a gorgeous, moving tale of two young girls facing an increasingly frightening world and eventually finding beauty where those less innocent might not, and that’s the kind of writing that transcends mediums.
