    WILL: Follow the Light is an interesting debut game from the studio. However, it is too short and this was frustrating. If you can overlook this issue, you'll enjoy the puzzles, the vehicles, and the excellent voiceover and segments of lore.

    Tour De France 2026 is a real mixed bag of some great moments, coupled with truly frustrating times. A great amount of content and ultra realistic gameplay will satisfy the hardcore lovers of the series. For newcomers, the brutal learning difficulty may be too off-putting. Add in uneven visuals, erratic AI and a wonky sound design and fans may come away feeling disappointed. If you can weather the storm, there are some rewarding moments! Back to the practice grid!

    All in all, Goblin Company has the foundations of a fun multiplayer experience, but I wonder if it has the depth to go the distance. If the bugs and lag can be patched out, it will at lest get its chance to show us either way.

    Crushed In Time's story and gameplay are both unique, but it never knows quite what to do with it. It throws so many things at the wall, and a few too many don't stick.

    Overall, this game is definitely worth a play, especially if you’re into short gaming sessions. I imagine playing it for longer than an hour in one sitting could send you into a bit of a trance.Even if you’re not into bullet hell games, you should give this one a go, even if it’s just for the soundtrack alone. For everything mentioned above, it should definitely be put on your radar. For just £17.99, it’s a must-have.

    Death by Scrolling is at its best when you’re learning its systems and adapting to the constant pressure of its central mechanic. After that – well, it just feels a bit like Purgatory.

    As a whole, Tavern Talk Dreamwalker creates a serene environment for you to return to when the real world becomes too much, as it often can. It’s world is relatively well fleshed out, its minigames satisfying and its characters intriguing, but it can suffer from some, at times, convoluted and a bit too densely packed dialogue. For visual novel fans and fans of the original Tavern Talk, it will be what they love and more, and for newcomers it’s a great introduction to the genre.

    The overall the game is pretty enjoyable and it is a perfect game for dropping in and out sessions, such as if you were on the bus or on a break at work. I think could quite easily burn hours on this game and get hooked on trying to satisfy every hungry customer. The only drawback I could find with playing this game was the soundtrack. It was so monotonous. It’s essentially three chords on a ukulele on repeat over and over again, and it’s about as pleasurable as putting a cactus in your ear, but for the price tag of £11.69 you can’t really complain. Due to these reasons I would give this a 5.5 out of 10, so, if you’re in need of a quick boredom buster definitely give this game a go.

    Magic Twins is a colourful and magical puzzle experience. However, there is a tough learning curve and the AI is truly terrible. Accordingly, this is best enjoyed with 2 human players.

    Even though the majority of hours spent on Greenhearth Necromancer will be it running in the background waiting for either cards to refresh, or for your plants to grow, the time you will spend actually playing the game will be worth the long wait. Whether it's casting spells, bringing flowers back from the dead, or building relationships with neighbors, there's always something to do in the lively Greenhearth community.

    Scattered Hopes has exciting combat and delights in pushing difficult choices. The first few runs are fantastic, but it starts repeating itself alarmingly quickly.

    Overall though, Reptilian Rising isn’t the worst game out there. I’d argue it has more positives than negatives and receives a decent score in my books. Sure, it may not compare to the popular tactical strategy turn based games out there. I’m aware of this even as generally not the biggest fan of the genre. Improvements can be made. I’m not a fan of the comedy, but outside of that, I think the game has a charm to it. It almost feels like a hidden gem. In fact, at the time of writing, there are less than 10 reviews on its Steam page. At the very least, I hope Reptilian Rising gets more recognition. Reviews are probably the best way for developers to hear from their player base and improve their games. With more reviews, the developers can have a better idea of what is and is not working here.

    Bubsy 4D is an amusing title that retains much of the original charm. However, the developer has freshened things up with some new mechanics and a twist to the story.

    SUMMERHOUSE is a calm, niche, and relaxing experience. Although it won't be for everyone, I liked its unique style and safe action. Moreover, it let my creativity run wild.

    Skautfold: Moonless Knight is a tough hybrid experience that will push your buttons. If you have poor reactions or you struggle with patience, this won't be the game for you. Although it made me moan, I enjoyed the dark and sinister style and the challenges I faced.

    Let Them Come: Onslaught is a sci-fi romp that feels very familiar. However, I liked the small unique moments and the aggressive, but hectic elements.

    Gambonanza attempts to merge chess and roguelike, and the end result is a mixed bag. A bright spark for the first few runs, but relentless repetition causes it to fizzle out in the end.

    Infinity Sweeper is a modern take on Minesweeper. I like the rogue-like mechanics, the casual but addictive action, and the quick to understand ideas. However, it doesn't hit the heights of its classic counterpart.

    Backrooms Level X is a retro horror experience that is fun but short. Furthermore, it doesn't offer anything more than any of its peers. Accordingly, it ticks a few boxes, but it'll leave you wanting.

    Sintopia skillfully connects together two worlds through death and reincarnation, even if each individual world is slightly flawed.

    If you’re familiar with indie horrors and have played many before, then this one is probably not for you. The game’s proportions of narrative and horror are heavily skewed towards the narrative with non-scary puzzle solving seated alongside it. I can see the many positives with Narin: The Orange Room and think that overall, it does deserve the positive reviews it currently has on Steam. It certainly is not the worst game I’ve played. On the flip side, it certainly is not the best either. Unfortunately, I think that’s just how things will stay too.

    Lil Gator: In the Dark DLC is a fun addition to a much-loved base game. Moreover, it adds story focus and vertical traversal for a new flavour. This was great, even though it makes it a little challenging for younger players.

    UFOPHILIA is an interesting and fun alien experience. However, the learning curve and lack of multiplayer action leave a lot to be desired. This holds it back, but it is still enjoyable, regardless.

    It does have quite a bit of replayability which is always good for a game, I played through it twice and I absolutely would again just to see more of the scenery the beautiful Lake Garda, and Northern Italy has to offer.

    Cleaning Up! is a cosy and enjoyable cleaning experience. It has a strange story and interesting mechanics. Moreover, the stage design is well-considered. Although it is short, I enjoyed every moment.

    Restore Your Island is short but sweet. The action is relaxing and there is a sense of reward as you clean up dirt and rescue animals. However, if you want a deep experience, this won't be the game for you.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia is a fluid and fun-filled parkour experience. The movement is great and it has that "one more run" edge. However, it isn't as memorable as other titles from the franchise. Furthermore, there are better and bigger games in the genre. It is still worthy of your time, but it won't stay with you forever.

    The Coin Game is an interesting concept despite its flaws. With loads of games to play, 5 locations to visit, and plenty of modes to try, there is something for everyone. However, it lacks depth and this holds it back.

    Sands of Aura is an interesting and challenging indie title that is dark and sombre. With unique weapon mechanics and plenty of monsters to tackle, there is plenty to keep you busy. However, it has a few minor issues and that causes problems.

    Clean Up Earth is a calm and relaxing simulation experience. It uses a fantasy and sci-fi edge to counter a rather serious message. However, it is easy to understand why we should recycle and the global benefits. My favourite part of this game is the real-world investment in climate fighting charities.
