Shame Legacy is a fairly good survival horror game. The story, visuals and the exploration parts are pretty solid, but the stealth mechanics and enemy detection are strange and not particularly enjoyable.

There's no doubt that Killer Frequency may come with a bit too much dialogue for some, and occasionally some bits do drag, but ultimately there is a great story found within; one that explores the twilight zone of late-night radio. 

If you love a challenging puzzler in which you are left to search hard for clues, then After You could be the game for you.

If you are looking for something a bit different and are after a slice of history in your gaming, then A Painter's Tale: Curon, 1950 is for you. 

Homebody may well take you by surprise. The writing and narrative are great, with some brilliant character creation dealing with a range of very real problems.

You'll probably find that GYLT is one of those games you'll struggle to put down, ripe for play with the family, particularly as the gameplay rarely challenges. Yes, the story may be dark, but GYLT is not gory and the visuals have a great look to them.

Should you be intrigued by the fish-keeping occupation or hobby, then Aquarist is a decent enough sim.

There doesn't feel like there is much new in ITORAH, little original in terms of gameplay. But the world is a great place to spend some time in.

Fall of Porcupine has loads of brilliant stuff about it. But it's the pacing that is the biggest issue.

Burnhouse Lane will capture you from start to finish, immersing you through its ten-hour running time.

If we focus on the visual novel genre of gaming, then Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is up there as one of the most accomplished.

Despite a short running time, Under the Warehouse is one that can be enjoyed.

If you are still to play Layers of Fear then you are in for a treat with Layers of Fear (2023). And even if you have played it before, you should head back in and be terrified once more.

After Us not only is a great experience, but a warning to us and the world we live in. 

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.
