I can't get Fish Sticks out of my head. Not the food, but the stray cat with a squished face and stubby legs that I wrangled into my shack in Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s new roguelite strategy game, Mewgenics. The shop, the pub, the dentist; no matter where I go, I…
I was, like so many of my 1990s-born peers, a huge Sims girlie. I spent hundreds of hours as a teen and young adult making people I knew, characters from shows I was obsessing over, or original characters I wanted to experiment with, and diligently following their life paths and…
A neo-noir adventure with an overly kooky cast and an obsession with video game references.
A beautiful paper-folding puzzler that screwed up the last remaining scraps of my self esteem and yeeted them into the bin.
Mullet Mad Jack is a no-nonsense FPS that's super stylish and a lot of fun in short bursts.
Homeworld 3 is lavish, gripping and detailed, but plays the hits a bit too closely and favours reaction speed over tactical depth
A gorgeous and immensely absorbing metroidvania platformer that is both easy to get into and dense with secrets.
Crow Country puts more emphasis on puzzles than the survival part of survival horror, but it's a well-observed love letter to the genre with great attention to detail all over the place. It's somehow equal parts charming and creepy.
V Rising's 1.0 update further streamlines and bolsters an already smooth survival game, making it one of the best survival games out there.
A fun-loving follow-up shakes up the underworld without fouling the Hades formula.
A lovely looking game with a sweet, restrained story, Harold Halibut is probably a too long for its own good.
Phantom Fury is a retro first-person-shooter that sometimes falters but makes up for it with strong devotion to detail
A playful Soulslike for everyone, that lets you give a crab a gun.
While obtuse in places, Manor Lords is an idiosyncratic, lively and sturdy sim that will keep you curious and delighted with its many intricacies.
A great premise with fun characters becomes a boring, empty wasteland in itself, as Sand Land makes adventures in customised tanks uninteresting and desperately repetitive.
Tales Of Kenzera has a sensitive story and is beautifully designed, with an intriguing world to explore - but some imprecision lets it down in the platforming and combat. It's still more than worth a go for players looking for something fresh.
Goblin Stone makes a wonderful first impression with playful and charming presentation, but that charm spell soon dissipates, revealing a sometimes stodgy, grindy, and unsatisfying tactics game with diminishing returns.
