Genre: Shooter

The actual gameplay is amazing; clever, frantic, elegant, demanding & creative. Unfortunately for me it was punctuated by insufferable characters and dialog (which is thankfully now skippable). Cool, but didn’t get the hype.

Distills the tenets of the franchise and starts fresh with the foundations of terror in a captivating setting. Now in first-person, the atmosphere is even scarier. A classic for fans of the genre.

The classic familiar-but-new the franchise is now known for, and potentially the spookiest it’s been. Not really for me, but if you’re into horror, it’s an instant classic.

[Early Access] While feeling a bit like just Slime Rancher 1.5, it seems to improve on everything from the original, with extra delightful polish. Will depend on development, but fun so far.

Colourful, charming and frantic with a unique personality, Slime Rancher walks a line between relaxing and repetitive. If you’re into cute farming, adventuring and a bit of management, it’s for you.

Devil Daggers with your third eye open. At first utterly incomprehensible and overwhelming, but given some time, reveals itself to be incredibly tight, elegant and intensely masterful. A special game.

Max Payne DOOM Tony Hawk. Super fun; cool little setting and story, nice presentation, and makes you feel better than you probably are. Feels a bit weird at first but doesn’t take long to get used to.

Vampire Survivors + SNKRX. Really clever, solving some problems other games in neighbouring genres suffer from. Not a huge fan of the art and stuff, but it doesn’t really matter.

After being ready to dismiss this as a cash-in on Vampire Survivor’s success, I’ve been proven mostly wrong and pleasantly surprised. Reminiscent of Crimsonland, this takes the more active angle.

Chess with a shotgun. Gets a bit deeper as you play, and deceptively satisfying. Cool packaging of a neat little concept and worth a look.
