Creaks
Amanita Design does it again with a change in direction that still embodies everything that makes them a beloved indie developer
Despite a lacklustre audio treatment and throwaway new content, this underrated 3D platformer makes a surprising return that looks fantastic and plays better than ever
While it isn't nearly as deep or fluid as the ocean that it's set in, Beyond Blue is a chill and easy-going way to wind down in the deep blue sea
A gorgeous, dense JRPG classic made richer and more beautiful with a seriously impressive makeover and a suite of new features. This is how you do a remaster
A simplistic and repetitive, but appreciably cathartic shark-em-up that would be the perfect weekend blast if it wasn't so frustratingly undercooked
A remastered and complete version of a divisive franchise entry that won't change anyone's mind but is well worth a replay for die-hard fans or anyone keen for a more considered crime sim
A charming puzzler that makes up for some occasionally awkward design with a simple yet intensely personal and emotional narrative
Moving Out
Slapstick charm and some genuinely welcome quality-of-life features mean there's a lot to love in this chaotic co-op removalist sim, but like any renter will tell you, moving can get old pretty quick.
A worthy follow-up to the beloved classic that hits and exceeds most of the same high notes while delivering a heartfelt and emotional new chapter in Ori's journey.
Bloodroots

Dreams
Dreams is the impossible made possible, and most importantly, accessible. There's never been a creative platform like this, and Media Molecule has proven that they were the only ones capable of building it all along
Though it follows a very recognisable 'indie adventure' formula, Lost Ember has exactly the right amount of heart and creativity to make it compelling
