Lost Artifacts 5: Frozen Queen isn’t a bad little resource management game - at times it’s relaxing, at others it’s a lightweight puzzle - but it’s too much of a bland thing.
Fundamentally flawed, Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator will struggle to hold your attention - it is frustrating rather than entertaining, no matter how many of you are playing at once.
If you’re a fan of the sim world, where you need to be involved in every decision, micro-managing every detail in every department, then you will have an amazing time with SimAirport. But should you be coming along for your first experience of the genre, this is perhaps not the best game to start with.
If Blacksmith Forger was a free-to-play mobile game, we’d be complaining about the lack of material. You could barely make some tinfoil out of it. When there are dozens of alternatives for Overcooked!-style games, you’d have to be desperate to pick Blacksmith Forger out of the line-up.

Because that’s what Puzzle By Nikoli W Numberlink ultimately is: an unsatisfying meander into trial-and-error that leaves a bad smell in the nostrils.Â
We’re not getting the last five hours of our lives back. It’s not that Gnomes Garden 7: Christmas Story is terrible: far from it. In fact, if you’re on the hunt for a relaxed take on city-building, then we might even suggest you play it.
Gnomes Garden 5: Halloween runs a relaxed, simple, city-builder formula, one that we’ve enjoyed in flashes, but it’s also one that has frozen us stiff with boredom on occasion. Much like a garden gnome, we suppose.
In order to stand out in the crowded point-and-click adventure sector, you have to come up with something that’s completely different and rather unconventional. As luck would have it for Smile For Me developers LimboLane, unconventional is at the core of their game’s DNA. But does that mean Smile For Me is going to put a smile on your face, or will you actually need cheering up afterwards?
