FYI

The hint’s in the title: it’s a clawfishing game. Relaxing, short and chill - it’ll likely make you feeling a little nostalgic about nothing in particular.

Go very fast and jump between trucks. Fun movement and a little bit of ‘easy to pick up, hard to master’. Potentially a bit light on content, but it’s cool for what it is.

Decent gunplay, great motorbike controls and good art are often overshadowed by the mundane, formulaic open-world fare and an underwhelming story. Bit of a shame because you can feel the passion here.

Cool metroidvania with slick movement and a mildly puzzling world. Oftentimes feels a bit samey and a forgettable story drags it down a bit but there’s enough here to pick it up on sale.

Really well stylised extraction shooter dripping with atmosphere. Has a bit of a cheaters problem, but nothing close to unplayable. If you’re into the genre, it’s absolutely worth a look.

If you love FMVs or even just film, it’s cool. Extremely strange at first, but if you can stick with it, and it clicks with you, it’s pretty cool. Definitely not for everyone.

Kinda cool concept, a city builder as an explicit puzzler. Pretty fun and very chill when you’re not getting frustrated by RNG. For its price, worth a play if you like the look of it.

Kerbal is a game with a specific audience in mind: people into planes/rockets and the freedom to design them. I’m not that person, but the game does what it sets out to do exceedingly well.

Felt a bit strange to play on PC and I’m very Marvel-fatigued, but the game design itself is stellar. Impressive mix of casual & complex. Sadly, at some point, you’ll likely reach for your wallet.

A remnant of its time, when games-with-awkward-controls was a big thing. It’s fun though, if you can get into the silliness of it. Challenging but relatively short in a welcome way.
