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…

The levelling up feels a lot fairer now too. Previously, late game enemies would give you very little experience, really stunting your levelling as a run went on. Now you seem to be rewarded much more reasonably, with stronger enemies…

Pizza Possum is a chaotic game where you get to become a trash panda trying to eat all of the food you can get your hands on in this town! The town itself is stacked, sort of all on top of each other, with food seemingly everywhere. I am…

This is in part, a tale of the struggles of families who emigrate and find their new homes perhaps not as welcoming as they would hope, which I feel is an important narrative these days. But Venba doesn’t dwell on this, instead being more…

A one day old bread golem is an unlikely hero, but any hero will have to do when a massive plot lasting over the last few thousand years suddenly plays out.. You're right in the middle fo it, and it’s up to you to save the world! Born of…

It is not a secret that I am a huge fan of local multiplayer games, especially ones that can be played with younger children like my daughter Robin, so that the whole family can join in on the action. After nearly 100 percenting Moving Out,…

Animal Well sees you exploring a beautiful, glowing world of strange plants, interesting creatures, and different caverns. You play as a little blob, exploring this world on your own, seeing what abilities you can end up with and how to get…

SurMount is a physics-based platformer that allows you and a friend to take on climbing a massive mountain together! You can also play single player mode, but when I spent some time with SurMount at GDC, I wanted to focus on the two player…

In each puzzle, you use photographs to manipulate the environment in order to reach a teleporter. By holding up a polaroid photo in front of you and clicking, that photo becomes part of the world. It’s hard to describe just how amazing this…

Tracks of Thought is an adorable, charming game about being a little bug, looking to have a lovely train ride. Your day was off to a bit of a hard start, as you had nearly missed your train just to find that it was actually delayed. There…

Rather than being a direct remake of the two games, Layers of Fear tries to tie the events of these games together. This rerelease of sorts wraps the games into an overarching narrative of a writer who has been sent to an isolated…

Simulators have allowed people to take on a variety of different roles, adapting when new jobs seem to appear or come into existence here and there. Sticky Business allows players to start up their own sticker shop, where they can create…

There are roughly fifty cats on each floor, many of which are easy to spot, but with a good number that will require a more thorough scouring of the environment. Each one is a fairly simple design, but this feels deliberate so that they…

The afterburner is great fun when you’re flying through tight tunnels, as you reach Ludicrous Speed instantly, resulting in you hurtling along and probably pinballing off the walls as you go. 

Items aren’t where you left them, machines are mysteriously damaged, and something keeps knocking on doors. I can’t go into too much detail for fear of spoiling a lot of what happens, but suffice to say that you rapidly descend into…

At its core, Under the Warehouse is a puzzle game where you need to find the appropriate items to unlock the next area and move forward. Interestingly, nothing is explained to you and you have no objective markers, meaning you have to…

Combat is as satisfying as ever, and with the much tighter camera angle, things feel significantly more visceral. Strikes from all sides look suitably vicious, and spells and powers pop off all over the screen, wiping out swarms of lesser…

In Sudocats, the numbers are replaced with cute cartoon cats, with you needing to do the same as regular sudoku, but with different pictures. There’s an option to change the pictures into numbers if you want, but I feel that kind of defeats…

The concept here is simple enough. Your train will emerge from the red tunnel, and your job is to create a path for it to reach the blue tunnel whilst going to each train station along the route. The level is made up of hexes, some of which…
