Despite a solid core built around a fantastic premise, the game has enough friction and folly to make the actual experience of play simply less than the sum of its parts.

The Survivalists is a great game and is definitely worth investing your time into. I enjoyed playing it on my own and with friends and is a much fun as The Escapists 1 and 2.

I can't recommend it enough--especially if you've been looking for that management game that captures the feeling of retro fun.

Double Kick Heroes certainly has made it on the top of my rhythm game list. It's a wild good ride from start to finish with plenty of replayability and personality. The concept is rock-solid.

It's bizarre and lovely all in one - Juicy Realm's cartoonist style is exactly the pairing needed for this twin stick shoot 'em up. The animations are fantastically fluid and you can't help but smile.

Prey is a great game, one of the classic science fiction games that combines thoughtful design with kick-ass exploration and player choice -- you don't want to miss this one, just mind the photocopier

Whilst it doesn't have the same breadth and scope as Diablo 3, Victor Vran has some great gameplay, solid combat action and delivers a decent experience that's miles better than some Diablo clones

Voodoo Vince Remastered feels like a new experience even without the 1080p resolution and the 60 fps frame rate, and it just goes to show what a classic the original Voodoo Vince was.

Portal Knights is a fun game, absorbing and clevery crafted to provide countless hours of randomly generated fun. It has elements of Minecraft but very neatly carves its own path.

There's no fatalities, no headshots...Macbat is honest good fun in the same way you enjoyed roaming about with a bear and a bird in his backpack once upon a time.
