The Blood of Dawnwalker comes from the Director of The Witcher 3 with an original setting and vampiric RPG action. Well worth sinking your teeth into.
Bring blue skies and plantlife to a barren wasteland planet in The Planet Crafter, but is it worth the effort through the survival genre opening?
Bellwright casts a compelling fantasy of freeing your land from oppression, but the opening hours of this survival game drag on far too long.
Rune Dice might be a deck-building combat game, but that deck is full of dice instead of cards. Then there’s also the snooker-like precision with which you’ll need to throw said dice, oh, and your rolls are dealing damage in the fight your embroiled in at the time. It’s a lot...
While you don’t play Tides of Tomorrow with other people, it’s a story that depends on them. The actions of other players who have played the game can change things within your playthrough, affecting things for better or for worse. You may, for example, find yourself having to sneak through...
ICARUS is a sci-fi survival game, dropping you onto a planet to see how long you can last, but with some RPG mechanics alongside for you to earn experience, level up and unlock more stuff to build. This along with missions and a distinctly cowboy-sounding voice makes for a good survival...
Sovereign Syndicate is a narrative-heavy RPG in the same vein as Disco Elysium. It features an illusionist minotaur to play as, a dark, steampunk version of London that’s full of fantasy creatures and, of course, tonnes of dialogue. It certainly ticks a few boxes that I didn’t know I had.
Darwin’s Paradox! is a surprising game. You play as a cartoon octopus, for one, who finds itself thrust into an alien conspiracy to take over the world. Thankfully, octopi are surprisingly well-suited to infiltrating and destroying alien facilities, so that’s what you do. You stick to walls, avoid aliens, camouflage,...
Dragonkin: The Banished is an action RPG in the vein of Diablo, but this time there’s lots of dragons. Seriously, the dragons here are so bad and evil that their blood has corrupted the world, giving you the singular purpose to hunt them all down and defeat the Dragon Lords....
Greedfall was an interesting and fairly distinctive RPG that, whilst it had its issues, was able to captured my imagination. From the direction of the cutscenes, through the interesting companion characters, to the surprisingly dark and well thought out world, it was gripped me from the very beginning. Greedfall: The...
When a new game from Suda51 drops, you know that it’s going to both ultraviolent and uniquely weird. Even so, Romeo is a Dead Man might still surprise you with just how strange it is. This is a game where the ‘Game Over’ screen is a melting head, where Romeo’s...
Cairn
Cairn is a single player, story focused, survival game about climbing a mountain. You won’t be leaping from platform to platform, or swinging round a sledgehammer to propel yourself and your cauldron, though. No, you’ll actually be climbing, moving each of your limbs one at a time to grab handholds...
