Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Bex Prouse

While it can be repetitive and the art style is a little generic, Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights shines when it comes to world-building and the distinct storylines through each route of gameplay.

Jack Lumber

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Andrew Duncan

Something to dip into now and then rather than a title to focus on, but worth a look if you’re into slicing things in half.

Mewgenics

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Alana Dunitz

Mewgenics is an eclectic, strategy-filled experience. I’ve never played a game that combines cat breeding with tactical, turn-based battles like this. It was worth the wait!

Tavern Manager Simulator

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Bennett Perry

For a fantasy tavern simulator on console, there’s only a handful, and this one happens to be the best one I’ve played by far. Give it a try if you don’t have Steam and/or friends.

Confidential Killings - A Detective Game

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Alyssa Rochelle Payne

Confidential Killings - A Detective Game won’t offer challenging investigative puzzles or tedium-free clue gathering, but you do receive excellent visuals and an interesting cast of characters.

The Prisoning: Fletcher's Quest

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Alana Dunitz

The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a bizarre and humorous game that traps you inside the subconscious of a burnt-out game developer. It is very challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Dragon Spira

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Alana Dunitz

Dragon Spira is a retro-style RPG that feels familiar, yet new and refreshing at the same time.

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Dylan Pamintuan

Apart from troubles with framerate and visual clarity, ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is worth your time if you’ve had this game on your radar. You’ll want to kill the past over it.

Creature Kitchen

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Violet Plata

One of the most unique experiences I’ve had in gaming, and I can’t believe it’s over; I look forward to more titles by The Rat Zone.

World War Z x The Walking Dead DLC

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Joshua Render

World War Z x The Walking Dead is a solid DLC, but it’s not enough for new players to buy the game.

Disco Simulator

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Mike Crewe

A management sim with not enough variety, Disco Simulator is fun for a short while, but quickly becomes too repetitive to want to see it through to completion.

Bean Beasts

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Alana Dunitz

Bean Beasts is a unique tower defence game with great visuals and addictive gameplay, but the punishing boss fights can make it feel unfair and frustrating.

MindsEye

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Joshua Render

MindsEye is a title with a lot of promise that stutters a bit when trying to deliver, but there is a fun game here if you’re willing to get past the initial slowness.

Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Bex Prouse

Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land is a successful trip down memory lane. It may be a short title, but it doesn’t miss out on charm, with an adventure that will delight players of all ages.

Project Motor Racing

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Steven John Dawson

A decidedly average racer that missed the mark of the hype that it had surrounded itself with before launch, but there may be potential for the title in future.

NASCAR 25

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Steven John Dawson

Accessible NASCAR fun for all with some good fun offline AI races to be had, but it feels like the multiplayer aspect may be positioned to have people looking to move up to NASCAR 25’s bigger brother — iRacing.

Ys X: Proud Nordics

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Mike Crewe

Another great entry into the long-running series, Ys X: Proud Nordics is highly recommended, provided you haven’t played the original. For those who have, there just isn’t enough new content to justify paying full price.

Ancient Farm

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Ariel Chloe Mann

Ancient Farm doesn’t really have anything unique to it and gets boring and repetitive really fast. It also doesn’t actually deliver on the promise of taking place in Ancient Egypt, given there’s absolutely no life aside from the player and some animals.

H-Sniper: Middle East

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Andrew Duncan

This is barely a game, and not even the titillation is worth a curious look.

Disciples: Domination

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Martin Heath

Disciples: Domination offers entertaining and strategic turn-based combat with loads of unit synergy to play and experiment with. Though the plot doesn’t quite deliver on its dark RPG aspirations, it’s still entertaining.

Core Keeper

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Dylan Pamintuan

Core Keeper is a labour of love that continues to improve with each update, with Void & Voltage adding more for new and old players alike.

REANIMAL

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Joshua Render

REANIMAL continues everything great that we expect from the developer, but the short length and irritatingly small details hold it back a bit.

Resident Evil Requiem

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Joshua Render

Resident Evil Requiem is a game that uses the full history of the series and creates one of the most stellar gaming experiences I’ve come across for a long time.

Calamity Angels: Special Delivery

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Erin McAllister

The Calamity Angels themselves are indeed angelic, but this wacky workplace adventure comedy could have used a lot more wackiness to go with them.

Metro Sim Hustle

• Read the Review
• Reviewed By: Mike Crewe

Whilst the variety of things to do is impressive, Metro Sim Hustle spreads itself too thin, leading to nothing being particularly engaging for long periods of time.
