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 first-person North Sea horror that doesn't push the boat out but still excels within its genre
Engaging from start to arguably too-soon finish, Felvidek is a raw, strange, and brilliant RPG that alternates between deadly combat, plummy prose, crass jokes, and odd beauty.
A few bugs and grumbles with Skald are utterly brushed aside by a charming and accessible modernisation of 80s RPG detail.
A compact but effective expansion for an already brilliant game, The Splintered Sea's additions are sure to make considerable waves for your toolbox of destruction.
A puzzler and twinstick shooter that's just as pretty to discover as it is to look at. There's a hint of Super Mario Odyssey in there, too, if you're into that.
Our Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 review explains the good and bad of Ninja Theory's third-person action sequel, which doubles down on the original in every way.
Songs Of Conquest is a colourful army building and smushing strategy game with clear rules and a heap of RPG levelling-powered possibilities.
Galacticare is a smashing space management sim in the Bullfrog tradition, with a great implicit and explicit sense of humour. It's not super challenging, but its levels are imaginative and fun.
A neo-noir adventure with an overly kooky cast and an obsession with video game references.
Mullet Mad Jack is a no-nonsense FPS that's super stylish and a lot of fun in short bursts.
A beautiful paper-folding puzzler that screwed up the last remaining scraps of my self esteem and yeeted them into the bin.
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.
