So, all in all, Cat Quest III is another entertaining action-adventure-RPG from The Gentlebros. It's easy to pick up and play, has a great sense of humour, a truly free world design, fantastic art and overall aesthetic, and even has drop-in co-op. It's not the most mechanically complex game, has...
That didn't stop One Btn Bosses from being a great experience, though. It's got all the hallmarks of a bullet-hell standout and the simplicity of its gameplay design had me staying up far too late going for just one more attempt at a boss. Like Balatro before it, it's another...
I like the bosses, even if they are a bit overpowered sometimes. There is a single strategy that applies to all the bosses I've encountered and that is to push hard and mercilessly from the start, which I like but I would have loved a little more variety here. There...
It's probably not a huge surprise to many to hear that SteamWorld Heist II is a pretty excellent strategy game considering the first game was also fantastic. Thunderful has delivered a sequel that feels like an evolution of the format that made the first game so special, with a rich...
The game's soundtrack, graphics, ingenuity, voice acting, and setting are top notch. It also means that I can recommend the game to you now, but with a rather serious caveat. If Coal Supper had ended up with a gameplay model that was as interesting to engage with mechanically as it...
NeoSprint is a charming game in a retro genre already overflowing with games. It does nothing to stand out from the crowd, but at the same time it offers what is most important in a car game: driving pleasure. At least for a little while.

So should you play Riven (2024)? The game is not for everyone, but you have to take your hat off to a developer who doesn't compromise on their game design. There is a logic that you have to catch and you have to have the patience to let the game...
Jemma "moves a little differently" in this world and that is not just fine - it's what gives Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure a double purpose in terms of both unique gameplay and narrative. It makes you think, and not just about the puzzles themselves, while you try to make everything...
F1 Manager 2024 is a joy to play, with the hours flying by at a downright terrifying pace and I can't help but tip my hat to what is so far the most complete, competent and absorbing F1 Manager experience you can get, well... without actually being employed as a...
The best words I can possibly use to describe The Operator is that never once during my playthrough of this game did I wish I was on the other end of the phone call, in the heat of the action in the field, ducking under gunshots and evading danger. Bureau...
The one thing I will say about this game that works in its favour is that it's very competitively priced. You can pick up a copy for £20, and for £20 you get a very interesting sci-fi, cyberpunk, noir experience. Critical Hit Games clearly has a lot of talent and...
That being said, with such limited resources, some faults do creep in, though we are far from the modern AAA-titles that have more bugs than your average rainforest. One thing that I didn't enjoy was how the already small town is divided into separate areas that requires (an admittedly near...
