Omega Crafter is a newly released open-world survival game developed by Preferred Networks, a technology company based in Japan. This is Preferred Network's first game release, so if you don’t recognise the name, you’re not alone. Omega…

Crow Country wants nothing more than to be a survival horror from the 90s. Combat is slow and clunky, with you unable to move whilst aiming and nothing more than a hard to manoeuvre crosshair for aiming. You can improve this by solving…

You play as Walter, a man who awakens from a strange dream to find that his wife and daughter are missing. Through a series of strange events, Walter finds himself at the circus where the three of them work, and sets about trying to find…

Playing as a traveling salesman in a slapstick, comedy adventure, Thank Goodness You’re Here! Is a game that will likely bring a smile to your face. You’ll be playing as a little man who has arrived early in a town in Northern England,…

Now, with the influx of interest in Starship Troopers reappearing thanks in part to Helldivers 2, we have the Raising Hell DLC. This adds a new mini campaign including new troops and enemies, as well as a few challenge missions. For under…

Valley Peaks is a puzzle game where the puzzles are mountains to climb. Its world is wild and wacky, and there are tons of frogs about! It all starts as you have taken a job to drive to the middle of nowhere, a town full of mountains, and…

Sometimes when genres evolve it's through new features or concepts coming to them, in the case of Swarm 2 it's through new technology. Notably, Swarm 2 feels like a successor to some sort of arcade shooter or shmup. Interestingly, it might…

Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge reminds me of a more fleshed out version of Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector, but with a bit more depth and meaning to it. In Kamaeru, you must bring frogs to your frogland, so that they can rest and gather some tasty…

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance is hard. Really hard. Even on the easiest setting, which is recommended when you start up, you’ll lose a lot of missions and a lot of troops in the early going. I’m not ashamed to say that I restarted some…

Turns are split into tile placement and movement stages. Tiles include a path as well as a colour. The path shows you where a ship can go, and must match up to another path, meaning you can’t have a path ram into land. The colour dictates…

Blisteringly fast-paced and deliriously good fun, Mullet Mad Jack takes a gorgeous 90s anime aesthetic and creates a rocket-propelled FPS game that doesn’t stop being entertaining after the credits roll.

Although the idea of Trash may not be something you find appealing, Trash, the game, is about being in a world full of garbage and using different morphs on your character to overcome obstacles around you. This game is procedurally…

It’s like watching a B-movie in that you know it won’t be perfect, but you’ll probably have a great time whilst you’re experiencing it. Fossilfuel 2 has its tongue so firmly pressed into its cheek that it’s popping out the side of its face.

This single table on offer for around a fiver depending on your region takes everything that’s so solid in the free table and gives it that cyberpunk horror spin. You’ll be launching your ball into cybernetically altered mutants, flipping…

Go into the depths of the ocean, find various power orbs and connect them onto dodgy, old buildings to ensure that the colony has power. In Power Sink, that’s your job. As a little creature, you need to jump and sink your way through a…

Having been interested in video games for more than thirty years, I’ve noticed that interest in WWII seems to come and go in phases. With several AAA games that deal with the war against Hitler’s Germany already on the horizon, it’s great…
