    Behind Closed Doors: A Developer's Tale is a story of two halves. You open with a slow and monotonous day-to-day life that will confuse you and put you off. This then evolves and you experience some weird and whacky gameplay about a game within a game. It had the potential to be fantastic, but its simplicity undermines it from the off.

    This game is very nicely designed and the puzzles are challenging, requiring sometimes a few mistakes till you get them right. However, I love the use of logic when it comes to solving puzzles than playing a game to defeat enemies. Additionally, the sea-like background music, 3D graphics, and cute characters all play a great part in the game and it all just works! So if it’s solving puzzles under the sea where it’s lit up with plenty of bright-neon style lights and this cute bioluminescence style creature, well this is a fun game to wrap one’s mind around and be absolutely entertained with the lights.

    Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a beautiful, touching, and harrowing side-scrolling adventure title. Swing through the trees, protect your family, and avoid the hunters. The movement is fluid, the environments beautiful, and the story is poignant.

    Winkeltje: The Little Shop is a fun and simple business simulation title. With a straightforward concept, you'll have the fundamentals mastered immediately. Sadly, repetitive gameplay and clumsy controls hold it back. I still recommend it even if it isn't as in-depth as its peers.

    Not great, not terrible. Home Behind 2 is greater than the sum of its parts, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It’s a good game for what it is, an RPG with real-time pausable combat and tons of management.

    While Trigon: Space Story could really have been something special, I feel it got stuck under FTL’s shadow. The gameplay doesn’t flow great, the additions don’t feel that impactful and the overall balance of the game is off. While the graphics and visuals are great, it is not enough to carry the whole game on its shoulders. I can recommend this game if you’ve experienced everything FTL has to offer and still want more like it. Otherwise I’d wait until a sale.

    With a combination of bugs, a poor attempt at copycat gameplay and an incomprehensible story, this souls-lite experience might not be quite what you might expecting. So, while the bugs that had me constantly on edge might be eventually addressed, it still leaves Shattered at odds with itself, unable to piece together something worth writing home about.

    Mango Mischief is a satirical JRPG that will fill you with nostalgia. The graphics and audio are fantastic as is the whimsical plot and interesting characters. Unfortunately, this wonderful title is held back by simple combat, over-powered protagonists, and straightforward exploration. With minor tweaks, this will fulfil its potential.

    Time Keeper has a lot of charm that shines through its more dull aspects such as the story and visuals. Its gameplay is engaging, and the reward of completing puzzles stands on the merit of their quality.

    Sadly, Line war does not offer players much to talk about unless they are already interested in the genre. For those like myself, the lack of a single player mode with A.I controlled units is a major miss. Pair this with a lack of a tutorial outside of videos and you have a combination that may mix well with some while it misses the mark for others. Studio Centurion has stated that there will be more modes to be released throughout the course of the year so for those who are interested in trying something new, there is a lot to look forward to.

    The biggest problem comes from the grind. The prices for these unlocks are too expensive once you pass the early game. After a while It takes multiple runs to unlock a single stat upgrade for a single weapon. This expensiveness problem becomes even more unbearable when unlocking new abilities.

    Immortal Life shows a lot of promise. It’s varying gameplay mechanics left me clambering for more, and the addictive management systems were very immersing. Though the graphics and narrative pacing are a cause of concern for me, these could be remedied in subsequent updates. If you are a fan of casual games, then this may be something worth picking up. However, I’d strongly recommend you wait until its official release date to get a full understanding of the games potential.

    I think, at the end of the day this title’s biggest problem is that there’s just not enough of it. However, if future content is up to the same standard as what we’ve got right now, I think Oaken will end up in a very good place. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

    ZHP: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman is one of the more enjoyable parody games I have played in recent years. The story is full of genuine comedic moments that left me smiling and laughing throughout my playthrough. While the port does suffer from some graphical issues and cut content, there is enough depth and replayability to keep even the most veteran of players engaged. In short, what Conkers Bad Fur Day was for pop culture, ZHP is for JRPGs and anime.

    Overall, Fillit has a simple look and even simpler gameplay that will suck players in for what feels like an unknown amount of time while they try to finish a level. Every time I revisited the game to get screen shots or find out more from the game, time flew by while my little puck danced and dodged around enemy attacks. The vibrant colors and fluid controls really helps bring everything together and this is one of those games that would be great as apart of a bundle or to catch on sale. 11sheep really managed to create a game that will grab the players attention and not let go until they find themselves say “oh but just one more level and I’ll be done”. In a world where games are always trying to chase a new fad and latch on to them for dear life, it is refreshing to play something on the simpler side of things.

    Honestly, everything from this edition of the game is incredible and even the lifelike of the dinosaurs is well done, loving the added skins too! I always admire seeing the way these new species react in their habitats or towards each other! So I’m sure if you loved playing Jurassic World Evolution 2 as much as I do, you’ll love these four new dinosaurs, the additional campaign, chaos theory stage, and extras added by this edition.

    Unless you are familiar with the series and wish to play a remake of the original, I would recommend playing DD2 for free, and then wait to see which game the developer pulls the plug on (Awakened or Going Rogue) before committing to a purchase that requires multiplayer to enhance Awakened’s dull gameplay.

    This game is mixed for me. I think there is some fun to be had, but only if you’re a pinball fanatic, or want to relive old memories. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have enough to keep things interesting beyond an hour, or two of gameplay, so therefore it’s hard for me to recommend it. There are things to appreciate in this game, but ultimately Pinball Freedom falls flat.

    While there is a decent game and some great ideas in Deadcraft, its ambitious attempt at a big interactive world and long playing time forces the gameplay’s narrow formula into constant repetition, all while leaving the best till last, which dulls the middle of the experience and risks players not finishing the game.

    The biggest mistake SOOT makes seems to be level design. While it had a nice concept and solid core mechanics, they failed to execute their ideas properly through their levels.

    There is so much more to see, view, hear and just feel entertained. I did come across a few issues of it shutting down on me, messing up my game. Not starting up, had to unplug my console each time to get it to actually start up correctly. It’s a bit buggy sometimes with the movements and I wanted it to be perfect, but these issues take more time to just get to play the game. However, that is the only issue I faced, the rest is about as great as I could wish it to be!

    Keplerth is an overall enjoyable survival crafting game. The gameplay mechanics are incredibly fun, albeit rather simple and repetitive. The RPG systems are surprisingly complex, but feel as though they are still waiting to be developed into something more substantial. While the art style is a clear rip off of RimWorld, it has been executed well to suit the game’s needs. As of this review, Keplerth is being sold for a little under £12. At this price, I’d recommend that you give it a shot if you are a fan of games like Terraria or Don’t Starve.

    Unfortunately Sword and Fairy is not a case of ‘What you see is what you get’, as although the music and presentation is top notch, the game is unable to maintain its high level of quality across the board, so even though the story does intrigue, it dabbles in a bit too much mediocrity to truly recommend this to everyone, despite its eye-popping strengths.

    Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 is a fantastic sports simulation title. With an array of branded gear to buy and over 60 species of fish to hunt, there is something for everybody. What’s more, it’s visually impressive and beautiful to look at. I cannot wait to see how much it evolves during its short 6-month Early Access period. After this, gamers from all platforms will be able to enjoy the phenomenal fishing action.

    Mad Streets is a crazy physics-based arena brawler. With an array of levels to tackle, massive fighters to take down, and ridiculous tasks to overcome, it'll keep you busy. Furthermore, it is great fun with friends and this makes the lack of an online community a real disappointment.

    This game really was not my cup of tea. I felt that it failed on almost everything it set out to accomplish. While some parts are objectively bad, the game does have some good ideas. I hope next time, this team can try to execute their ideas better and give us a more satisfying to play twin stick shooter.

    The game Tinykin brings players a joyful and fun adventure, where one must solve and discover ways to find your way through each spacious location. There are so many things to see and solve for friends that are just as small as Milo the character you’ll be playing as. It’s a bright and joyful game, without monsters attacking, but with plenty of puzzle-solving planning to get you from one location to the next. It’s a very fun game that will keep you entertained for hours and provides plenty to do in each new location you visit.

    Rick Henderson is a classic retro title. This side-scrolling shoot-'em up only ends when you are blown out of the sky. Consequently, it is addictive, challenging, and oozes nostalgia.

    White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a wonderful classic horror title that will scare you silly. With horrifying ghost encounters, challenging puzzles, and a demented janitor, you'll be tested and petrified. What's more, it has multiple endings to keep you coming back for more.

    Not only do you get one fun action-packed game, but you get a second game, the classic puzzling game too! Oh and don’t let the bright graphics fool you, this game isn’t super easy to defeat or super difficult, but it’s just what you want when you play a platformer, a bit of a challenge. So if you think you have what it takes to save Pac-Man’s family then you should really give this game a try!

    Dyna Bomb 2 is a great solo or cooperative platform adventure title. With plenty to see and do, it'll keep you busy for hours. Its heavy reliance of grinding will disappoint some, but I enjoyed the overall challenge and replay value.

    A Tale of Paper: Refolded is an excellent platform adventure title with puzzling elements. You will love the excellent graphics and atmospheric audio. Furthermore, the drip-fed mechanics and excellent stage design will keep you entertained. However, it is painfully short and this undermines every element.

    At the end of the day, Zookeeper is not a bad game. It just falls a bit short on keeping the player’s interest for extended periods of time. Zookeeper has potential for sure. It’s cute, relaxing and there is some fun to be found. However, as it stands, things feel a bit too middle of the road to justify any hype.

    The Dark Prophecy is a classic point-and-click title that will fill you with nostalgia. What's more, it has some excellent characters, crazy locations, and some witty and sharp dialogue. However, it is sadly too short if you are a veteran of the genre. But don't let this deter you from playing this retro-inspired game. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

    Honestly, it’s hard to say that this one game is horrible because in total it was just so much classic FUN! Games back then use to be slower and the colors or way they move are very obvious in each game. Sometimes the sayings, as phrases are a little much and at that time the game was pretty much exciting. So modern games to classic will be hard to find it that entertaining and enjoyable as many would like them to be. However, they are collections of the past, not much changed, and really a blast from the past when playing.

    I try not to judge a book by its cover, but Maggie the Magnet sounded and looked awful at first glance. Yet, I’m glad I gave it a chance, as every element surprised me. I adored its challenging ways, its tough but fair learning curve, and its bizarre aesthetics. Accordingly, it is one of those hidden gems that’ll be ignored by many gamers, and this is a tragedy.

    Kofi Quest is such an interesting and original RPG-style game. It’s got plenty of great action-packed battles against a variety of monsters and creatures, heroic music playing in the background, an extensive world map to travel and explore, and plenty of unique friends to meet. I think, for the most part, the game brings such a wonderful array of side quests to tackle and can keep the player occupied as well as the freedom to do as you please. I just feel there are a few issues that aren’t easy to avoid and can wreck the joy of the gameplay because it doesn’t work out or plays as it should.

    It’s hard to truly judge a title that won’t let you progress a little more than halfway, but what I know of the remainder of the experience, this a knight to forget; an average and repetitive title that is about as rewarding as the princesses’ throwaway comments as you adventure with them – by the 4th time, you’ve seen and heard enough.
