Rob Kershaw's Reviews
The Sojourn is a competent and technically apt puzzler, but one which feels oddly empty.
While it leaves many questions unanswered, Fracter is nonetheless a moody and polished port of a mobile puzzle game.
Faith is a fine return to form for a season which had felt progressively aimless, and an episode which sets up an unpredictable and potentially explosive finale.
Gibbous skews its Lovecraft origins to comic effect, though it would have benefitted from more testing puzzles and less obvious humour.
The writing is clichéd and the gameplay linear, but Dry Drowning provides enough quirks for fans of the visual novel genre to warrant a look.
An initially fascinating murder mystery that descends into repetition for its final two-thirds. A real shame.
Draugen's story might not meet the quality of its visuals, but it's an engaging few hours nonetheless.
A visually arresting and occasionally gripping sci-fi drama, weighed down by a clunky interface and poor pacing.
Wastelands' thrilling finale means it's a step up from Rules, but it makes a few missteps in its handling of the brothers' relationship to get there.
A markedly different approach to adventure gaming; while it won't be for everyone, Heaven's Vault will undoubtedly attract a cult following.
While Close to the Sun is a visual treat, it isn't quite matched by the game's substance; it dips a toe in the waters of numerous genres but fails to fully commit to one, and ultimately suffers because of it.
The console port of Okomotive's debut is contemplative, lovely, and over too soon.
Clementine's final season starts out uneven, but the second half provides enough thrills, tension and deliberation to ensure that after seven years The Walking Dead gets a decent farewell.
Brilliantly conceived but sloppily executed, The Occupation's potential as an immersive detective sim suffers from too many technical problems to recommend it.
Wargroove may wear its influences on its sleeve but it is never in thrall to them — fans of the genre will lap it up like Caesar near a water bowl.
Patience is needed to crack the heart of Rusty Pup, but we suspect it could end up joining the likes of Psychonauts and Conker's Bad Fur Day as a cult classic.
Rules is a backwards step after a strong opening for Life Is Strange 2, feeling more like a filler episode which squanders the momentum of the Diaz boys' story.
An unexpected horror delight, Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic example of how to remake a classic while staying faithful to the original.
While visually impressive at times, Vane suffers from an unclear purpose and far too many technical issues to recommend it.
A pretty but slight tale, hampered by some clumsy interface decisions and a peculiarly meta finale.
