Synth Riders offers a unique approach to the rhythm genre with a fresh, new take on beat-mapped gameplay and a soundtrack that features some of the best tracks to groove to.

Into The Dead 2 works in pretty much the same way as the original, with you barrelling headlong into the undead hordes, only a handful of bullets to your name. You can control whether you run towards the left or right of the screen, fire…

A retro, Pokemon inspired game with its own unique twists, Monagerie is a great RPG for those who are looking for something just a bit different. Monagerie is an adventure game littered with bits of story and lots of monsters that you can…

Fires. Car chases. Burglaries. Fights. Heart-attacks. Cats stuck in trees. It's 112 Operator, ready to test your management!

Somewhere between MOBA, Real Time Strategy, Tower Defense and action RPG lives a game called Lornsword Winter Chronicle. It’s a strange game that tries to answer the age old question of how to make a compelling strategy game specifically…

Whilst it may not be entirely buggy in it's nature, its inhabitants certainly are.

Action and rhythm is always a fun combo, especially when the music is super lovely. In Aaero2, you’ll need to have your ship follow the wavelengths of the music, while keeping an eye out for enemies to destroy. Aaero2 fixes up the controls…

Epoch: A Tribute to Chrono Trigger is just that: an amazing tribute to the soundtrack of one of the best RPGs of all time.

When it comes to management simulations, the strength of the area of focus is often the deciding factor between whether a game succeeds or not. Theme Park, for example, excited millions of fans with its theme, despite some relatively…

As you push on further, or fail trying, The Bergson's tale progresses. Driven forward by small cutscenes delivered between breaks in the action, new family members are introduced or new problems are raised in the families home to be solved…
