Against The Storm is an inventive roguelite citybuilder brimming with challenge and excitement, making it a bold step forward for both genres.

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…

El Shaddai: The Ascension Of The Metatron's PC port is still as visually stunning as ever, but repetitive fights make sightseeing a real chore at times.

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.

A gorgeous, non-violent puzzle platformer with big Studio Ghibli vibes, Hoa is a brief but brilliant tale about the healing power of nature (and cute beetles).

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.

In The Siege Of Paris DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, a viking travels to Paris for some solid assassination fun, and all the usual flab that comes with it.

Humankind is, by and large, exactly what I hoped it would be: a heavyweight alternative to Civilization in the world of historical strategy.

Twelve Minutes' time loop puzzle is layered and weird, but its short time limit doesn't find the sweet spot between tense and frustrating.

A challenging golf game set in the ruins of a future Earth, Golf Club Wasteland takes this classic sport to new, imaginative heights.

Deathloop is a time-looping shooter with funny dialogue and a very powerful boot, where stealth is just the thing that goes wrong before a good fight.

Boyfriend Dungeon delivers some really thrilling romances. But it's let down by the dungeoning side feeling a bit undercooked.

One man’s musical mission in The Artful Escape is an audio visual delight, but there’s not enough room for expression or mastery.

It takes a little time to warm up, but once you're over that hump, Tales Of Arise is a charming RPG powered by a battle system that never slows down.

Life Is Strange: True Colors has the most interesting power and likeable cast I can remember in a Life Is Strange game. I just wish it did more with its story.

It is playful. It's fun. It's climbing inside a giant wedding cake, riding flying letters, taking part in a giant cooking show with eggs that are excited to be boiled kind of fun.
