TopSpin 2K25 is a welcome return for the franchise and a solid reboot.

Lunar Axe Review

If you like puzzle games and are looking for a cheap option, Lunar Axe is probably worth a piece of your time. 

Freedom Planet 2 Review

Freedom Planet 2 evokes so much of what makes a great platformer, but feels a little bloated in parts.

Terra Memoria Review

You should certainly enjoy your time with Terra Memoria.

Dreamland Solitaire Review

Dreamland Solitaire slightly overplays its hand in terms of number of levels, but generally it did everything we wanted from it and more.

Krimson Review

Krimson is a punishingly hard, rhythm based platform game that is extremely interesting to play.

The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection Review

The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection is a little scrappy on the gameplay front, which isn’t too dissimilar to the NES games that it’s emulating. But it’s also a hoot.

Withering Rooms Review

I like the story and strange dream world of Withering Rooms, as well as the Souls-like RPG elements and location. It's a bold move, but it works, pulled off well.

Rebel Transmute Review

Rebel Transmute is a competent Metroidvania type game that is let down by some bad design decisions.

Battle Stations Blockade Review

There’s no doubt you’ll have a good time with Battle Stations Blockade.

Bakery Simulator Review

Bakery Simulator is the bread bun of the baking world - bland and uninteresting, but some people might still like it.

House Flipper 2 Review

House Flipper 2 is an improvement, thanks to a fun campaign and various environments, areas and items.
