3.5/5 Review

I’m ready and willing to give cooking another go with the arrival of Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator. It’s time to open up a fancy new restaurant, but is Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator a fine dining experience worth recommending, or have developers Cyanide Studio made a dog’s dinner of it? 

The Rough Landing Mission and Weapon Pack in Sniper Elite 5 does just enough to get a grudging recommendation.

Whilst Intruders: Hide and Seek is not a game that's going to blow the industry away, it's one that you will have a good time with, as you go hiding in the shadows and cowering in cabinets.

PAW Patrol: Grand Prix - Pup Treat Arena is all rather good, if we’re honest.

Difficulty spikes and harsh save systems aside, there is a cracking, compact little Metroidvania to explore in Witchcrafty

The rook is perhaps one of the most valuable chess pieces outside of the royal family, so you can understand why its protection might be of importance. Despite the use of a rook and a game board though, Defend the Rook actually has very little to do with chess. It’s strategic, sure, but the focus is on turn-based combat featuring a group of heroes which is infused with tower defense and roguelike elements. 

We regretted nothing, as Knock at the Cabin noisily stole into our living room and held us captive for a couple of hours.

Figment 2: Creed Valley is more beautiful, there is absolutely no denying that: it’s an absolute feast for the eyeballs and ears.

There's no debating that Akka Arrh is a gaming experience worth taking in, yet perhaps more as an intrigue point.

As a short term proposition then, Merge & Blade works, but I’m not sure the long-term hook is there. 

The Smile Alchemist is a hard game to rate. It is slow, but charming, dull, but interesting; it kind of defies description.

Webgeon Speedrun Edition isn’t going to set the puzzle-platforming world alight. It is an ice-sliding puzzle in spider’s clothing...

You will probably be fairly impressed with Dead Station. It is short, don’t get me wrong, but for only £4.19, it is a reasonable price for a reasonable game.

If you’re a puzzle fan then you’ll enjoy Seven Doors.

Frog Hop is the equivalent of that TV series that only gets good in the second season.
