Review: Nine Sols review: A 2D Sekiro-like so good it converted me to an entire genre

Mouse trap

Review: Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic 1.0 review: reject tradition, embrace a fundamental revolution in city building

That's a common logistical fallacy

Review: Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree review: yeah, it's basically a sequel

... but I'm glad it's finally over

Review: Still Wakes The Deep review: soaked in sea horror and shiveringly good voice acting

Oil not sleep tonight

Review: Felvidek review: a black comedy medieval RPG that’s all about honeyed words and grubby deeds

Love, blood, and rhetoric

Review: Selaco early access review: GZDoom wizardry makes for sophisticated FPSing reminiscent of F.E.A.R.

Far from doomed

Review: Skald: Against The Black Priory review: the best of 80s RPG design without the baggage

Landing in hot water

Review: Besiege: The Splintered Sea review: a small vessel for expansive seafaring

Just one more tweak to get these timbers shivering just right

Review: Hauntii review: an adventure as beautiful as it looks

I don't normally like letting things haunt me, but this is an exception

Review: Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 review: a visual step forward even more contemptuous of interactivity than the first

Par for the Norse

Review: Songs Of Conquest 1.0 review: occasionally demanding but often rewarding fantasy warlordery

Frog factions

Review: Galacticare review: a silly space sim in the Bullfrog tradition, with a great sense of humour

Treatment is simple. Go play game. Funny.

Squid pro quo

Lo-fi beats to get extremely stressed to

Review: Mullet Mad Jack review: a simple and ultra-stylish corridor crash

Ascend a tower with the power of guns, hair and anime

Review: Homeworld 3 review: a lavish and often gripping RTS that is overly reliant on playing the hits

I was tempted to exclusively call it the 'mommy ship' so consider yourselves lucky

Review: Animal Well review: an unmissable creature feature

Putting the animal in AI

Review: Crow Country review: my first Resident Evil (complimentary)

Less survival horror and more puzzle horror, but still a great time

Review: V Rising 1.0 review: one of the slickest survival games gets even slicker

I'd bat for this one

Review: Hades 2 early access review: a roguelike of witchy crowd control with a sparkling new cast

What fresh hell this is

Still waters run deep

No arm in trying

Review: Another Crab's Treasure review: a playful Soulslike for everyone, especially if you like crabs

This will more than tide you over

More like Bland Land, am I right?
