With all the possibilities it had ahead of itself, Poker Face bet large on very little, and we ended up with the most damning criticism of all: a thriller that didn’t thrill. 

Games are glorious things, because there’s an audience for pretty much everything. But we honestly don’t know if there is one for ReactorX 2. It’s so stupendously and wilfully challenge-less, that we can’t see the wood for the ease.

Metal Black S-Tribute is a horizontal shooter made with an anything-goes mentality.

Prizma Puzzle Prime does a lot of things right. The levels are nicely judged, getting incrementally harder, and the way the mechanics work is good fun as well.

EleMetals: Death Metal Death Match - Kill your friends or AI bots, headbang, and generally try to survive.

Speedway Racing is a grim and joyless drive. It plops itself in the middle of arcade and simulation, but takes the worst from both worlds: it takes the punishing, exacting controls from a sim, and the shallowness of an arcade game.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition brings a true classic back for a new generation. Whether you are a die hard strategy fan or first time invader, there is no better place to start.

OddBallers is perfect for a free-to-play transition or as an Xbox Game Pass staple.

You can’t argue with the price of Touchdown Pinball, but it very much feels like a case of getting what you pay for.

Pocket Witch is remarkably cheap. But even in that price range, there’s a surprising amount of competition

Full marks for effort then, but The Dark Side of the Moon: An Interactive FMV Thriller is only for the fiercest of FMV fans.

If you ever grew up playing those mature rated games that your parents turned a blind eye to, Wanted: Dead should be seen as the perfect throwback.

View it as a high concept rom-com, or buy into the earnest and endearing attempts to bring modern dating to your living room, and Ten Dates might become more than your new best friend.

Who could have guessed that a concept involving a line, often considered a snake, which grows in size and must avoid obstacles to survive, would still be relevant decades after its first inception. Obviously the Snake phenomenon on the old Nokia phones is the most successful version to date, but developers Teggno Interactive hope to find their own success in their title inspired by the aforementioned game. Let’s dig in and see if Project SNAQE is going to be your latest addiction, or just another mediocre imitation.

You’re not going to enjoy an escape room if you can barely see it, and you’re not going to feel the satisfaction of completing a puzzle if you are forced to use a guide. The Experiment: Escape Room is that murky, and that obscure.
