“Hypercharge is a solid experience that has everything you could want from a shooter game and if you’re in the mood to play toy soldiers for a couple of hours then this one is a must buy.”

“StarVaders is a very addictive game that offers a lot of replay value. Its gameplay loop of defeating enemies with smart tactical manoeuvres, collecting cards to build a powerful deck, and repeating the process is a ton of fun. It’s not going to be for everybody and it can feel overwhelming at times with the stats, but after a while it’s a very easy game to pick up and play.”

“Out of Sight is not one to be missed. It provides players with something brand new whilst keeping things simple for anyone to pick up and enjoy. Add in some great challenging puzzles, impeccable art design, and a story that keeps the mystery alive all throughout and you have a game that needs to be experienced. There are flaws for sure, less finicky controls and a much more satisfying resolution that ties up loose ends would have been appreciated, but they don’t hinder the experience too much.”

“Finding Frankie has a lot of great ideas, which are complimented nicely with its visuals and horror elements, but it’s not enough. It feels as if there should be more here for players to sink their teeth into, however, all we are left with is a short experience that has nothing interesting to say. The few great elements the game has such as the tense Henry Hotline section, the soundtrack, and the art design does elevate it past its mediocrity, but after spending just a measly two hours with the game, it feels as if I only got a quarter of the package.”

“Project Tower has a lot of good ideas and can be fun at times, but it’s hindered by its lack of polish. The combat can be engaging, but quickly becomes frustrating thanks to the lack of smooth controls and animations. The story has an intriguing premise, but the game never commits to expanding on the universe it so desperately wants you to connect with. And even though the game is beautiful, the basic missing technical components give the game this unfinished feel.”

“The Mortuary Assistant is a very well-crafted horror game. The gameplay is surprisingly addictive and its use of sound and randomized scares make it a nerve-wracking experience to play. A few confusing tutorials and clunky story moments aside, this is a horror game that does a lot of things right.”
