There’s such a fabulously well put together game here, and it’s one of the rare occasions where the roguelike element didn’t frustrate nearly as much as it did in others

Chains of Freedom is a very solid tactical shooter that feels (and is) fairly linear in both its story and its mechanics, but which does everything well and rarely mis-steps.

In an age where most city-building games are either very highly abstract or focus more on the needs of individual citizen, Pax Augusta takes us back 2,000 years and has us focus on good city planning

Several interesting mechanics come together into a fun little fighter, a shame that performance issues burden the console versions.

Let me be clear. Clair Obscura: Expedition 33 has the most original and well-executed video game story I’ve seen in years and years, bar none.

Fans of the original probably won’t enjoy Spirit of the North 2, which is a real shame. I applaud the ambition of the devs, but it’s come at the expense of what made the previous game enjoyable.

Whilst it’s a neat and amusing theme, Spreadcheat won’t be for everyone at all. Those attracted by the amusing throwback visuals should really be aware that this is a maths puzzle game at heart

Dragonwilds has been both a nostalgic trip and a step in a new direction, proving that the world of Gielinor has much more to offer.

There’s a very clever puzzle and an intriguing story somewhere within Blue Prince for those who persevere long enough to unlock it

While I was definitely impressed with the balance that had gone into the early stages that I’d played — with most turns coming in quite quick — it was the visuals that stuck with me most.
