The Shore is a Lovecraftian adventure that leaves a lot to be desired. The weird combination of genres and the lacklustre mechanics are disappointing. Furthermore, the story is lacking and this was unfortunate. However, it looks fantastic and this is where it excels.

The Invincible is a slow-paced, narrative driven sci-fi adventure game based on a novel of the same name. Developed by Starward Industries and published by 11 Bit Studios.

Airhead is a captivating Metroidvania experience. Furthermore, it has some testing but enjoyable puzzles. Yet, it is its user-friendly approach that makes it stand out from its peers. As such, this is a great indie title that is well-balanced and enjoyable to play.

GENIE Reprise is a stunning, slow-paced walking simulation title. Moreover, it has a fantastic story and each chapter is unique and surreal. Accordingly, it is a wonderfully captivating, fantasy tale. Sadly, though, it has no replay value and this was unfortunate.

Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express is a fantastic whodunnit murder mystery. You must use your investigatory skills and your mind map to find the evidence and piece together the clues. With puzzles and plenty of colourful characters, this will keep you busy.

Asterix and Obelix Slap Them All! 2 is a spectacular-looking side-scrolling beat 'em up. However, this doesn't overcome the shortcomings. Sadly, the repetitive gameplay and lack of difficulty will annoy many gamers. Furthermore, it doesn't address the problems of its predecessor and this was unfortunate.

Tekken 8 is a giant leap forward for this incredible franchise. The deep and interesting story is accompanied by awesome multiplayer action. Moreover, the introduction of new mechanics will impress veteran gamers. The only shortcoming is that minor players feel an afterthought in the plot.

Decent enemy design can't make up for unsatisfying guns, claustrophobic level design and bizarre pacing. Bloodhound looks back to the past so much that it trips over its own feet.

Double Dragon Gaiden is a fantastic trip down memory lane. The pixelated art style has a wonderful art style. Moreover, the audio is loud and crass. As such, if you adore old-school beat 'em up games, you will fall for its dated charms. My only complaint is the mindless nature of the action is shallow and repetitive.

Hammerwatch 2 is a fun little adventure that has a ton of potential but has a lot of minor issues that may be off putting for some. For those looking for a simple way to pass the time with some friends, this is definetly worth checking out but I hope you have someone ready to keep track of where you need to be going or else you will be pulling up the quest menu every other second. Combat is fun but the scenery can make it hectic to keep track of everything. Overall, Hammerwatch 2 does a wonderful job of being a mediocre adventure with promise.

Jusant is a delightful platforming experience. Furthermore, the atmospheric audio and spectacular setting are captivating. However, a short playtime holds it back from becoming a classic indie title.

Three Minutes to Eight is a strange old-school point-and-click adventure. Its bizarre theme should be applauded. However, it rarely works. As such, you are left scratching your head throughout. Yet, I enjoyed the developers' desire to explore an unusual subject. As such, despite the shortcomings, I enjoyed it.

DESOLATIUM is an old-school point-and-click game that won't be for everyone. However, I enjoyed the challenging puzzles and the interesting story. Moreover, the graphics were good, and the acting was impressive. Accordingly, if you love the genre, or you want to try something different, this is the game for you.
