The Plucky Squire

The Plucky Squire

September 16, 2024
8.5

The Plucky Squire has a very slow start with excessive dialogue and over-tutorialisation, but once you get past that, it becomes an incredible, dimension-shifting adventure you shouldn't miss out on.

The Exit 8

The Exit 8

August 10, 2024
6.00

The Exit 8 is a short horror experience that feels more like an introduction to VR psychological horrors than anything else.

Disney Dreamlight Valley
9.00

Whether you become a prominent paid player or a free-to-play one, Disney Dreamlight Valley’s base game already has so much to do that you could easily spend hundreds of hours in it, especially for fans of the Animal Crossing franchise and anything Disney and Pixar.

Though repetitive and a bit slow at times, I am enamoured by Tequila Works’ Song of Nunu and their capability to bring so much love and passion to an otherwise overlooked — and often underrated — champion from its source.

Born of Bread

Born of Bread

8.50

It's always a pleasure to experience such a well-crafted, lighthearted game, and if that's what you're in the mood for, then get your wallet ready.

Venba

Venba

November 26, 2023
7.00

Though I genuinely loved my time with Venba, I could not swallow the steep asking price for the short, one-hour experience that you will have. It's a great, tear-jerking story that immigrants will resonate with, but there isn't enough here to justify the entry fee.

Paleo Pines

Paleo Pines

September 25, 2023
7.50

Explore the titular island in Paleo Pines as you embark on a quest to collect all of the numerous dinos and variants in a fun exploration-focused title that leaves its life simulator aspects behind — oftentimes, for the better.

Fae Farm

Fae Farm

September 5, 2023
8.50

Fae Farm is probably some of the most fun I've had with a life simulator once I accepted it for what it was. If socialising and role-playing is very important to you in a game, maybe skip this one!

Remnant II

Remnant II

August 16, 2023
8.50

I cannot have enough of Remnant II’s fantastic co-op gameplay, especially thanks to its intense replayability. However, I do wish there had been more emphasis on the story to have something to root for along the way!

Oxenfree

Oxenfree

July 4, 2023
8.00

Despite its slightly vague story and note-collecting-based narrative, I was completely smitten by Oxenfree, so it's an easy title to recommend, especially if you know a lot about World War 2.
