My Time at Sandrock is a sandbox story-oriented RPG freshly released by Pathea Games, whose name you might recognise from their previous titles; Ever Forward, Planet Explorers and sister game My Time at Portia.  Within My Time at Sandrock,…

When it comes to producing humourous platformers, The Behemoth never misses. Their distinctive art style is instantly recognisable, however, many forget where it started. Alien Hominid HD is a timely reminder. While some could argue that…

Brightly coloured, chaotic and cooperative, Pizza Possum is great at what it does, even if it doesn't do much of it. Pizza Possum is a game built entirely around that exact moment in stealth games where things go wrong — however, unlike…

Mechanically, this is even simpler than Mario Kart, which likely is due to its mobile game roots. There’s no accelerating here, with your steed hurtling off right from the start and automatically jumping over small obstacles. Amusingly, the…

Most of your time in the game is spent walking around an environment to find a character or object so the story progresses, playing the occasional mini-game as you go. It’s nice enough, and means it’s very accessible to younger kids who…

First is the unique (for the subgenre anyway) Slime mechanic. This works a lot like a meter in many fighting games, most notably recent Mortal Kombat releases, with you building it up by hitting and being hit. Depending on how much Slime…

Larger confrontations are more interesting, with you having options like clapping and bowing in the correct combination to banish your foe, or perhaps using an ally to distract them. I appreciated these more as they put a thrilling…

Tales from Candleforth is a horror-filled 2D point and click adventure game where fairy tales were written in a forbidden book. Now, years later, the text is mixing with the pages of the story itself, twisting them around, and creating a…

Hauma - A Detective Noir Story is, as you may have guessed, a narrative-driven detective game. Here you play as Judith, an ex detective who is looking to figure out what's afoot in the higher society of her homecity. This narrative…

Warhammer 40,000 has gone a surprising amount of time since it was last pivoted into a gore-soaked boomer shooter, but Boltgun has more than made up for it, as one of perhaps the most obvious adaptations of the universe, but also one of the…

Volcano Princess is a bit of a cross between a tamagotchi game and an RPG adventure, where you need to make sure that your daughter is well taken care of and raised right, so she can become the best princess the land has ever seen. …

Mechanically, this is very simple to play, with there actually being quite limited interaction. I could see some people arguing that this is a walking simulator, a term that I’m not a fan of, but there’s a certain element of puzzle solving…

A Castle Full of Cats is a hidden object game where you are looking for various cats within static screens to help you unlock more doors, go through lots of levels, and learn more about the cats that are living within this massive castle.…

Slice of life, adventure farming games are as popular as ever! There is such a high demand for wholesome games that have you working on small tasks and exploring characters that might live around you. Farlands is one of these types of…

The first thing you notice upon starting the game, and the thing that immediately attracted me to it, is just how awesome it looks. That 50s movie style is incredibly well done and permeates every element of the game. The cutscenes are…

After your grandmother’s passing, you have been left with her food truck. This food truck is home to many memories that you shared with your grandmother. Not only that, but it was also a local staple to a bunch of small towns, where lots of…

Hell Pie, or the second coming of Conker’s Bad Fur Day, is another in a long line of indie-made 3D platformers that aim to recapture the hey-day of collecting shiny things, to, once again, mixed success.  It’s hard for me to quantify the…

Hauntii is a stunning, simplistic adventure game where you find yourself in a massive world, full of mystery and other ghosts. At first, you have signs to help you travel around, as you learn to grasp your new powers within this realm. You…

Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip is one of those open world adventure games with tons of character and silly moments intertwined into the game itself. Terry is a simple guy, he just wants a car. Not a job, just a car, so has applied to be a taxi…
