    Stormbound has a depth that's easier to grasp than more fast-paced games. It's still just as easy to pick up, but you're going to want to push into it and find out more of what it has to offer. If the other games in the genre are a little too hectic for you, then I urge you to check out Stormbound. It's fresh, it's fun, and it'll have you playing for hours on end.

    If you've not played The Witness before, then this mobile port is as good a place as any to experience it. But if you've already finished it elsewhere, some of the sparkle is definitely going to be missing on a second playthrough. Coming to The Witness fresh though is one of the most beguiling gaming experiences you can have. And that's something pretty special.

    Guardian Tales is a charming breath of fresh air for fans of 8-bit games and JRPGs of old. The free-to-play gacha game, while chock-full of complicated currencies to figure out, doesn’t really make you feel like you need to pay to win. It invites players to enter into a fun and quirky world to get away from it all, which is a more-than-welcome distraction from the seriousness of life.
