Who actually knows what defines a soulslike… Is it animation based combat? Stamina bars? Deep lore? Exploration? Corpse-running? Rolling? Either way, these are those games.

Fresh & clever, Ring of Pain’s simplistic inputs bely its depth and difficulty. Absolutely stunning art, haunting music and great sound are underpinned by a fun and addictive gameplay loop. Love it.

Showcasing the unique and creative contributions of Australian game developers. ‘Ava gander at the world of fun and innovation from downunder, mate.

Short but heartwarming narrative platformer with an interesting hook. Sadly, it’s not explored too much from a gameplay perspective, but the story is cute if a little heavy-handed towards the end.

Do you like organising and sorting things? Do you like cute art and low-pressure, low-stakes gameplay? If so, you’ll like this game. It’s simple but cheerful and charming. The co-op is great too.

Potentially the best Fallout game. Potentially one of the best RPGs. Just play it.
