Heave Ho 2 is great fun to play with friends, whether you're in the room together or online. This sequel adds so much to the original idea.
The pop idol trio of Deep Cut might be best known for their attitude-filled stage antics (and Big Man's thoroughly loveable nature), but Splatoon Raiders
You've died and been sent to Hell, but you'll be damned if you're going to take it lying down. Taking inspiration from Dante's Divine Comedy, 33 Immortals
Crushed In Time is a fun elasticated point & click adventure, taking Holmes and Watson on a journey through game development.
Yoshi games have always revelled in bringing new and distinctive art styles to the table, not to mention exploring different styles of platforming game, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is no different. Taking place within the magical pages of Mister Encyclopaedia, there’s a lovely pencil art tone to the visuals, but also more of an educational and exploratory tone to the adventure.
Battlestar Galactica’s 2004 revival is one of my favourite TV series. Sure, it’s strange as heck through the later seasons, and you have to view its tone and creation through the lens of 9/11, the War on Terror, and how that shaped American culture through that decade, but its highest moments really were exceptional. Decades later, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes takes that desperate flight that we saw through the first season of the show and uses it as inspiration for an original story that runs alongside.
Saros might be following in the footsteps of Returnal in many ways, but this is very much a standalone experience, telling a new story within another original sci-fi setting, building out its third person bullet hell action with its own particular twists, and a compelling new roguelite narrative to unfurl.
Some time far, far in the future, the very last zombie game will be released and its developers will weep, for there will be no more conceivable worlds for undead hordes to conquer. Saber Interactive will have had a big hand in that, as World War Z and its recent The Walking Dead DLC have covered off both fast and slow moving zombies within an early 2000s setting, and now there’s John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando for an 80s inspired sci-fi romp.
What would happen to the Pokémon world if all the humans disappeared? That’s what Pokémon Pokopia asks in the wake of some mysterious disaster that has left the world in ruins, the Pokémon in hiding, and not a single trainer in sight. Well, you look an awful lot like a trainer, Ditto, so it’s time to get to work on a new haven for Pokémon.
What would come next after you’ve successfully taken down the biggest drug cartel in the galaxy, saving humanity ? Well, fame for you and your talking alien guns, some degree of fortune, your sister ending up in more trouble with aliens, and plenty more stabby bounty hunting, if the opening to High on Life 2 is anything to go by.
