Remember when Valve teased new Portal content? And it was a bridge constructor? FeelsBadMan. On its merits though, this is a great little puzzle game. Relaxing, challenging, and allows for creativity.

Refreshingly honest and polished little narrative physics game reminiscent of Katamari Damacy. Adorable visuals, music, characters and writing.

Stress Level Zero’s opening act before they got stuck into Boneworks. Addictive gameplay loop and cool setting - definitely worth testing a new VR setup on.

Fascinating and complex systemic game design, executed extremely well. The systems allow for virtually endless emergent scenarios amongst the rewarding exploration and fun, chaotic combat.

Stunningly authentic tone, visuals, sound and music. If you liked the old Prince of Persia style action/platforming/puzzles, this is almost a must-play. It’s short, but doesn’t outstay its welcome.

I’m not usually a huge fan of turn/tile-based X-COM style strategy games, but Othercide’s setting, aesthetic, lore and indeed roguelike aspects hooked me. Has its issues, but absolutely worth a look.

A surreal sojourn through a psychedelic natural museum. Won’t be for everyone, but a fun little experience.

It’s as if someone said “what if Firewatch was a sandbox survival?” And… it’s kinda cool. Visually beautiful and very inviting. Lots of promise, so will watch the roadmap.

Subnautica in space” wouldn’t be fair - some aspects are a lot more tedious and limiting, but it’s still a super fun & engaging survival game dedicated to humour and environmental storytelling.

Interesting and fun take on this kind of 2d platformer. Movement and combat are fun and satisfying, and puzzles are pretty clever. Short but definitely worth it.
