Rob’s 5 Games of the Year
Whilst the likes of Gears Tactics, SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete, and Deadly Premonition 2 all hit the spot, there were still a handful of titles that outdid them. So here we are with my five favourite games of 2020.

Tesla Force — Not an Elon Musk in sight
Stages themselves have a few different objectives, ranging from collecting a set number of items and closing rifts, to destroying spawning points and just plain surviving. There isn’t a huge amount of variety in the tasks, but stages tend…
Twin Mirror — Reflect on the past
The set up for Twin Mirror is pretty interesting. You’re introduced to your character and his ‘twin’, known only as Him, who helps Sam understand how to handle social situations which he seems to struggle with. You’ll interact with a number…
Tsuro — The Digital Game of the Path
Right off the bat, Tsuro looks really nice. You’re presented with a desert-like patch of sand with a copy of the board game on it that you are instructed to open, resulting in the game board unfolding and the pieces being placed onto it.…

She Sees Red — Better dead than red
As the story goes on, you’ll find that your choices make both small and large differences to the subsequent scene. Whilst you’ll still reach the finale regardless of your decisions, there are four different endings. You’re encouraged from…
Maid of Sker — Just how Skery is it?
At first, things seem quiet but it doesn’t take long for you to overhear people being assaulted, murdered, and sacrificed by the family and staff. From this point, you’ll be finding keys and solving puzzles to unlock more of the hotel…
