“Despite being a good match on paper, the system’s robustness is directly proportional to the player’s tolerance for Tetris, with plentiful combat encounters that will wear thin for some in the long run. However, the game’s other elements more than make up for any shortcomings here, with beautiful visuals, a jumping soundtrack, and a lengthy and well-written story full of characters that are a joy to get to know over the course of 20 or so hours.”

“Beyond Hanwell delivers a deeply immersive horror experience, featuring non-linear gameplay that will undoubtedly captivate genre enthusiasts. While some technical issues were reported at launch, the game has, within a few months, demonstrated that it is well worth your time. The passion and dedication of this indie studio are unmistakable, providing several hours of authentic terror. In short, if you are a horror fan seeking a hidden indie gem, I am pleased to affirm that, in my opinion, Beyond Hanwell is a solid and rewarding experience.”

“Night Slashers: Remake is ok at best. It’s nothing special; it’s extremely generic and bland. Also very short and bosses, who should instill fear, are just big cronies. It could be some way to pass some time, solo or with friends, but other than that, it’s hard to recommend Night Slashers: Remake knowing there are much, much better beat’em up available. Try at your own risk.”

“As they say, this DLC is coffee for coffee lovers. Digital Eclipse wants to reinforce the tribute they did so well in Atari 50 The Anniversary Celebration, with more games and informative content.”

“As a combat-free metroidvania, entirely focused on environment traversal and diagram interpretation puzzles, Exographer breaks the mold of the genre and shatters expectations. What sets it apart is its focus on the field of particle physics, but it is not necessary to have prior knowledge of the subject, because, deep down, what drives its world-building is the enthusiasm of the scientific hunt for understanding the structures of the universe, celebrating each small fragment of knowledge gained. Although this does not make Exographer inaccessible to a wider audience, it defines it as a niche game that should please those interested in getting into a mix of puzzles and science.”

“Apartment Story builds tension stronger than many other games, but the downtime sometimes leads to it fizzling out. It tells a story about topics worth exploring deeper, but barely skims the surface. I felt that it had only begun to explore its potential in the end. Still, it doesn't overstay its welcome and is good for a single-sitting playthrough, which I always appreciate. If you're keen to explore the more experimental side of indie gaming, give Apartment Story a go. I think Blue Rider Interactive has something and I am fascinated to see where they go next.”

“Worms are always in style - there’s no denying it! This is pure old-school fun at its finest. The Worms franchise is the very definition of a gaming evergreen, and if you think your math skills are sharp enough, and that you can endure the one-of-a-kind moments this game throws at you (without killing the friend you’re playing with in hot seat mode), then this is one title you shouldn’t miss.”

“If you're a fan of G.I. Joe and enjoy street fighting games from the arcades and 8- and 16-bit consoles, and enjoy some casual fun — especially in local co-op with friends — Wrath of Cobra might be worth checking out. However, if you're hoping for a beat 'em up with more innovation, polish, and depth, you might want to wait for a sale.”

“The puzzles were mostly straight-forward, with a few that did have me scratching my head for a moment, but never outlandish or obtuse in their solutions. The characters are also wonderfully varied, and I found myself enjoying their drama and flaws about as much as I did the main questline.”

“Golden Lap aims to bring sports management to those who have never played such games before. It's an accessible and simple game that captures the F1 era of the 1970s well. Unfortunately, it's too simple, and after a few hours you'll be wishing for something a little more complex.”

“Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 a lot of fun, with tons and tons of Easter eggs to prior games, all variations of humour, and loads of weapons and characters. There is very little negative to point at. The raw variety of characters, from the bold and aggressive to the fun and silly, to the dark and serious somehow all fits together. All of the upgrades to acquire for weapons, items and soldiers leads to a great experience of wanting to play one more level shooting up some aliens.”

“At multiple points in the game, text flashes on the screen saying, "I hope this hurts," an ambiguous message from one character to another. We never learn who says it to who, but it's a particularly dark line: an explicit desire for suffering in a story where everyone is suffering in their own ways already.”

“Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm FPS that has all the elements you need for a delightful symphony full of fast-paced action and heart-pounding metal music. It was one of my favourite games of 2022 and the musical crescendo it built up to resonated so much with me that I was excited to play through it again in VR.”

“The game looks great with its dark and brooding visuals. While each level has a menacing, dark-ish style, they are uniquely themed such as a forest, living train or even shooting the undead on the Moon. Enemy design, while a bit repetitive, is top-notch and creepy. Bosses are big and grotesque creations fun to challenge. The soundtrack is a high octave hard rock score to get your blood pumping as you shred The Meat’s armies. There’s nothing inherently wrong with Iron Meat aside from the fact that unlocked characters doesn’t offer any variety in terms of gameplay and the fact that given its old school inspiration, the gameplay is limited. When clearing the game, you can replay it and choose which level to play. Whether you’re looking for an old school inspired challenge or some quick fun, Iron Meat is an absolute must play. The gameplay is addictive, easy to pick up and play and some classic co-op action. While the gameplay is limited, the levels and challenge is very fun and addictive. Even after clearing the game, you’ll find yourself replaying levels to hone to skills or just as a stress relief. Iron Meat is a must buy. Don’t miss out.”

“Aside from a few gripes, I thoroughly enjoyed helping out in the land of Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda is all about the essence of adventure. It is about seeking, solving, and conquering. Putting your might and wit to the test and coming out victorious! All of that is present here in Echoes of Wisdom. Just this time around, instead of playing as the hero of time, we finally earn an adventure where we save the world as Zelda. And Echoes of Wisdom lives up to the excellent standards of the series' prior entries.”

“I had a great time with Shadows Of Doubt and it is a truly unique game that has never been done before. If you’re into games where you’re attempting to solve crime, murder mystery or piecing evidence together to bring a result, then you’ll love this one. As I’ve said it does have some bugs and glitches sporadically from time to time which can result in some frustration but this doesn’t hamper the adventures you’ll have all that much. At a reasonable price point of £19.99, it is well worth that for the amount of hours you can get in return which can ultimately be an unlimited timesink if you enjoy it enough.”

“Alchemist: The Potion Monger offers a delightful and engaging experience for players interested in alchemy and exploration. Its detailed potion-crafting system and open-world exploration provide ample content to enjoy. However, certain aspects, such as combat mechanics and user interface design, could benefit from further refinement. Additionally, the game's limited save options may pose challenges for some players. ​”

“I find it notable that the Roads to Power DLC has ‘Very Positive’ reviews on Steam. I love Paradox games, and love a new expansion, but there are a lot of the things and they tend to get expensive. If you look at the Steam reviews Hearts of Iron or Stellaris DLC, you will find a lot of people questioning whether the expansion is worth the price. That does not seem to be the conversation around Roads to Power. This is the kind of expansion pack Paradox grand strategy fans dream of and hopefully, it sets a new benchmark for the future of Crusader Kings.”
