Extremely funny and clever - a ‘must play’ that elevated meta content in video games to still unmatched heights.

The seventh entry in the ‘Citizen Abel’ series of games, and probably my favourite. It’s very short (10-15 minutes) but absolutely worth it. I wish there were more games like Thirty Flights.

Proof that graphical fidelity are not required to tell a good story and have engaging characters. Good platforming puzzles too.

Transistor is a bold, beautiful masterpiece. Turn-based strategic combat which is fun and challenging punctuate an absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet story with typically great Supergiant dialog and VA.

If you’re into challenging platformers this is a must buy. At times the difficulty feels artificial, but overall it’s extremely solid. Prepare yourself for frustration if not rage.

While it may be better suited to mobile these days, World of Goo is a great puzzle/bridge-building game with a simple mechanic it explores well.

A fresh, visceral and addictive hyperactive trip of ultraviolence, strategy and style. Finds its rhythm immediately and sticks the landing. Hell of a soundtrack too.

Kinda unlike anything else. Despite a few technical issues, Cart Life is a really rewarding game about connections and emotions. Great art and music. Challenging in more ways than one.
