The Forbidden Arts
Verdict: The Forbidden Arts is an average fantasy adventure that is a solid experience but lacks polish. The premise and combination of 3D and 2D adventuring are interesting but it doesn’t come together to create something special. Nice graphics and enemy design are let down by poor hit detection and floaty...
Metal Wolf Chaos XD
Verdict: Metal Wolf Chaos XD is a solid remaster of a game that’s just okay, but had the potential to be something truly great, not just in its hilarious writing and tone, but also in gameplay. It’s bogged down by too many issues to recommend at full price, but charming and unique...
Verdict: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night had to overcome a lot of challenges to become the game it is today. While its development might have been rocky and a bit longer than originally planned, it’s earned its place as the rightful successor to Igarashi’s previous games; and while there are...
Shadows of Adam
Verdict: Overall, Shadows of Adam is one of the best budget RPGs I’ve ever played. A game that is way ahead of the Kemco RPGs in terms of quality, it’d be interesting to see how it holds up to a full price RPG such as Octopath Traveler (which I haven’t...
Monster Jam Steel Titans
Verdict: Monster Jam Steel Titans is a solid Monster Truck game with unique events, thrilling gameplay, and chaotic nature. While the title lacks the presentation and robustness of many Triple-A titles, if you’re looking for a racer that’s easy to pick up, hard to master, and fun to mess with,...
Wargroove
Verdict: Regardless of how you like to play your strategy games, Wargroove offers a nearly infinite amount of content on top of a fun, engaging campaign with lots of personality. Chucklefish has created a masterpiece with Wargroove, a perfect strategy game for either experienced players or for players dipping their...
Generation Zero
Verdict: Generation Zero had some good ideas but most of them were poorly executed. For trying to tap into the survival horror genre by replicating a Black Mirror episode would have been quite impressive. Although with the lack of character creations, unable to create new saves, stuck fighting for 4...
Little Dragons Café
When all is said and done, Little Dragon’s Cafe is a fun game but doesn’t live up to its pedigree. It’s a charming game to play through though, and well worth your time, but still leaves a little to be desired. The storyline, intentionally left vague here to avoid spoilers,...
Nairi: Tower of Shirin
Verdict: Whilst limited in scope, Nairi does a lot more right than it does wrong. This family-friendly point and click is a great candidate to kill a few hours if you just want to relax after a stressful day. I’d say the Switch version is probably optimal but I had...
CrossCode
Verdict: I’m not sure how this slid under the radar so hard but make no mistake, CrossCode should have been a serious 2018 game of the year candidate. Radical Fish Games have effectively showcased a model development cycle by listening to consumer feedback, interacting with their community and releasing an...
The Gardens Between
Verdict: The Voxel Agents have crafted an experience, unlike anything I have played for a long time. The game has charm, beauty and, most importantly, a satisfying puzzle mechanic. The game’s concept is fascinating and really invokes the inner child in me. While no game is perfect, this is as...
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Verdict: Shadow of the Tomb Raider is not a perfect game. Some of the NPC voices are too rigid, the side quests feel like chores, and some of the sound effects are overbearing. The camera draws too close to Lara in towns, and the reloads after a death could be...
