It may not be wholly original, but Hollow Knight is without a doubt one of the best metroidvania games out there. Hallownest’s desolate world is built on an atmosphere of mournful sorrow. Its characters, few and far between with little to say, will become fast friends that you feel genuinely ecstatic...
Tyranny’s length does however mean the credits will roll before the combat becomes too wearying and that the choices you have made are actually important. I never felt as if there was a choice that the game should allow me to do as is so often the case in RPGs; instead, I...
Owlboy
And I can’t not mention the soundtrack. It’s hard matching Owlboy’s artwork, but the orchestral tracks that play in the background of the game’s highs and lows help make Owlboy an absolutely incredible experience both visually and aurally.

Do My Best Games’ first foray into game development is a fantastic one. They really have “done their best” and created something wholly unique, tense and with more going on than first meets the eye. At its foundation, The Final Station may just be a very solid 2D action-adventure game but...
It’s a shame that many of Full Mojo Rampage’s items end up being inconsequential as otherwise, this is a fun and unique roguelike. Still, putting aside the few minor technical issues, the voodoo theme and the wealth of content on offer manages to be the game’s real strong suit. There is plenty...
However, even with an ending that takes way too much to achieve with very little pay off, Asemblance still manages to be a very intriguing and atmospheric sci-fi story. Just know that there is, respectively, little content here – even for the small £7.99 asking price – and your enjoyment...
It is perhaps this design flaw that stopped me liking Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse as much as I wanted to. I was pulled in by the colourful world and characters and enjoyed the fluid]and responsive gameplay, but the continous backtracking for little reward, some unfairly difficult enemies and areas...
Like every great detective story we must draw to a conclusion about Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders. The main problem is that its strongest points and successes come from what it is based on. The story, the twists and turns and the slow exposing of the killer have already been...
Some may love the unexpected strategy and depth that Ironcast provides behind a sleek match three exterior. Others however may find that unlucky RNG and the too often loss of progression from permadeath begins to deteriorate any sense of achievement or progress being made. Personally, I feel that Dreadbit should...
