I feel like I should love Knights in Tight Spaces, and I do appreciate all of the work that's gone into it. The stark palette of the original game has been changed for something much warmer and more tavern-like, with lovely thick-pen-lined environments that you fight in. And I admire that Ground Shatter has made the effort to do something new rather than opt for an incremental update. I have no hesitation in saying there's enjoyment to be found here. I just think the pudding has been overworked slightly, and that some of the clarity of flavour that came through in the original is swamped here.
What Avowed lacks in gloss it makes up for with charm, depth and a playful heart. It's one of this year's most pleasant surprises.
Citizen Sleeper 2 is terrific. There are few other games that can reach out like this and clutch as unerringly at my heart, and few other games I would want to.
A fantasy role-playing game of astonishing spectacle. This is the best Dragon Age, and perhaps BioWare, has ever been.
A sequel that takes the thrilling cold-survival city-building heart of Frostpunk and evolves it in every way, while losing none of what made the series so special to begin with.
It starts with a bump, but played the right way, V Rising offers riches few other crafting survival games can match.
A gentle adventure into a family's secrets that's nicely crafted but over before it really begins.
A gentle and unusual building game that's memorable but missing some purpose.
Lurking behind a dated exterior is a limited but sophisticated RPG with a unique setting and some memorable new ideas.
An unforgettable story of desperation and hope in beautiful, gruesome, plague-ridden 14th Century France.
