A sandbox tactical/RPG hybrid with gritty, low fantasy charm, Wartales is systemically ambitious, but sturdy and clever enough to hold its own.

Short of somehow also being a massive box full of toys, I couldn’t ask for more from this loving and skillful adaptation.

Aragami 2’s ninja garb is frayed around the edges, but it’s still an easy, breezy fit. Perfect for a quick-fix of stealth, and joyfully light on its feet.

King’s Bounty 2’s hexed-based battles, customisation and army management are all a good time. The RPG they’re packaged with is baggy and bland.

Garden Story's frequent combat is hit-and-miss in this ARPG, but behind it is a sweet and sincere tale set in a land you’ll care about saving.
