A spiritual successor to LIMBO, taking everything they’re good at and doing it better. Puzzles, art direction, sound design, environmental storytelling. INSIDE is dark, unexpected and brilliant.

At launch, fresh and exciting. A level of polish and characterisation not really seen in PVP-focused shooters before. Devolved a bit over time, seemingly driven by meta enforcement, unsure whether to target the pro or casual scene.

Short but utterly brilliant. Go in blind, but be prepared for a very strange, funny and unique experience.

My favourite from the Frictional Games team. SOMA isn’t traditionally horrifying, but it’s full of dread and scary atmosphere. Brilliant and thought-provoking existential story.

Stupidly hilarious playdough physics based fun with friends.

A beautiful, puzzling and incredibly well crafted work of art. This game does not hold your hand and does not give you an explicit pat on the back. Discovery, learning and rumination are your rewards.

An intriguing and dynamic game in the vein of X-COM which is worth the price of entry if at times a little frustrating.
