Wild Blue Skies Review

Wild Blue Skies is a well made game; it looks good and plays better, but it is far too derivative for its own good and this level of imitation prevents it from standing out as its own thing.

Aleesha’s Tower Review

Aleesha’s Tower is something to while away forty minutes whilst it reminds you of better games from long ago.

Mousebusters Review

Mousebusters is a tricky game to define; from a gameplay perspective it is hamstrung by a level of repetitiveness that simply cannot be ignored, yet its compelling narrative is something that demands it be experienced. 

Junkster Review

Junkster is a game of percentages.

Elementallis Review

Elementallis is a successful Zelda-clone that manages to craft a unique story whilst clearly displaying deep reverence for the series that served as its inspiration.

Sands of Aura Review

Sands of Aura feels like a game of unfulfilled potential.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster Review

Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster is a win for Nightdive. The developers' ever growing reputation for preserving and accentuating classic games is put on full display here. The remaster is faithful, one that keeps the spirit of the original game alive whilst smoothing some of the edges that time has inflicted upon it.

El Coco Review

It feels like there is potential for a good game in there somewhere, but there is not enough content in El Coco to fulfill it. The game plays like a prototype or a tech demo rather than a fully fledged product in its own right.

Winter Burrow Review 

Winter Burrow is a curious game; it was designed to be an easy-going entry into the usually challenging survival genre.

1000xRESIST Review

1000xRESIST will be hard sell for some, a narrative driven adventure game will not appeal to the masses. Truthfully, had it not appeared on Game Pass, I would likely never have played it. But now that I have, I know I will never forget it.
