Great art & soundtrack, and generally does what it says on the tin - point n click, hidden object comfy exploration. The pacing is a little strange and it’s all a little shallow though sadly.

A frightfully creative and talented use of VR, which wouldn’t be half as good on traditional platforms. This is a really, really impressive experience and arguably a VR must play.

A short narrative piece with minimal gameplay, heavily driven by Cohen-brothers-esque dialogue and tense introspection. The character assets felt a bit tonally out of place, but otherwise super solid.

Very cozy yet addictive little tile strategy/puzzle game. Don’t let its simple primary mechanic(s) fool you - there’s quite a bit to explore here. Very pretty and tightly executed.

Fantastic music and gorgeous noir visuals accompany an existential detective point-n-click puzzler examining pretty heavy themes. A few softlock bugs at launch, but overall a cool, ambitious game.

Interesting roguelike farming sim accurately described as Fallout Stardew Gungeon. Charming art, and overall a cool idea. Starts out pretty relaxing but ramps up steadily. Probably better on Switch.

An epileptic, sludgey LSD trip packaged into an insanely stylised, hyperactive and frenetic roguelike shooter. Punishing in more ways than one, but intriguing and challenging.

A wildly impressive mix of survival, creative building, exploration & combat primarily developed by five people. Valheim manages to find and maximise the special sauce within all of its components.

Incredibly tight, fast, minimal and punishing singleplayer shooter - made all the more addictive by friend leaderboards and immediate restarts. Small in scope but huge in delivery and fun.

A whimsical perceptual puzzler full of smart ideas. It’s just long enough, with its brevity perfectly exploring its core concepts and ultimately satisfying greatly. Very impressive.
