If you can stick around long enough to see through the shameless BOTW clone, Genshin has its own somewhat charming personality, and pretty fun combat. Its F2P gacha model becomes restrictive unless you’re up for an insane grind or… becoming a whale.

Giant Sparrow’s PS3 game finally comes to PC! An immediately captivating start is followed by clever explorations of mechanics that make for a delightful game which doesnt outstay its welcome. Get it!

If you thought this IP was a strange fit for a Destiny-like, you’d be right. It’s OK when it works, but is mostly clumsy, confused, forced and buggy. Combat is OK, movement is clunky. Should be f2p.

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.

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.

It is a Far Cry game. You get what you expect. I’m bored of it and this does nothing to turn that around.

Interesting concept which at first sounds great, but quickly becomes almost as repetitive and uninteresting as its soundtrack. Map design and combat are actually quite good, but the rest, not so much.

Inspired and innovative little puzzler. Has cool lore/story, as well as interesting puzzles reminiscent of The Witness. Just the right level of challenging and wonderfully polished.

If you like plotless, repetitive grinding with constant progressive rewards, and have an addictive personality - this is the game for you. Very honest and well made, but won’t be for everyone.
