Absolutely loving Iron Meat. Bangin' soundtrack, awesome level design. Love the combo of enemies & environmental threats. I found it challenging but played with the young fella and he got absolutely minced (as it should be!). Top shelf run and gun.

Iron Meat is an awesome run and gun. Looks and sounds awesome, smooth controls, super polished. Fast-paced, brutal (get touched and you die!). Awesome levels and boss fights. Great for co-op too!

Must be the year for HoMM clones! Silence of the Siren's even better than I expected. Desperately needs new key art; the game itself looks great. Could use a tad more balancing but still in EA- I'm looking forward to the other campaigns & factions releasing.

Silence of the Siren is a HoMM clone, sure. But with a unique setting and factions & so much attention to lore it's much more than just a re-skin. Interesting level design & combat, well-written.

Disappointed in myself for taking a month to get to new horror point and click Devil's Hideout but it's been that sort of month. Short but really good. Has plenty of interactivity but really gives off a nice "sitting in the dark reading a nice horror story" vibe.

Devil's Hideout is a small but solid point and click. Nails the terror vibe it's trying for. Strong art direction, characters, writing, and voice acting. Simple puzzles but memorable story.

Idylls of the Lunar Maria is a quirky match-3 with surprisingly interactive tiles and range of enemies. Also features 3 characters with their own stories (although the writing isn't a strong point). Needs a little more balance & polish but fun. Easy enough for kids.

Idylls of the Lunar Maria is a quirky match-3 game where you match tiles to attack, defend & heal while trying not to trigger enemy attacks. Can also combo into more powerful abilities. A tad easy.

If you're a fan of chill games, check out Paws for Adventure. It only released a couple of weeks ago. While a little slow and repetitive to start, it really opens up and there's quite a bit to explore, challenging boss enemies to fight, hunting, puzzles...

Paws for Adventure is a charming and relaxing game that sees you playing as a cat - hunting (sneaking, pouncing), fighting, & exploring. Quite a few nifty puzzles snuck in too. Be great for kids.

Fun but exceptionally short (a single map, which I beat in 5 minutes). Art style is awesome. Would love to see some value-add features like time challenges added. Chill scavenger game. My kids saw me playing tonight and joined in, was fun.

Drill Core is a highly polished mining game with a fun defender phase that even includes some cool boss battles. Can get a tad repetitive at times but it's fun and has a great sense of humour.

Frostpunk 2 is an exceptional game, just don't go in expecting a continuation of the original. It's focus on expansion rather than survival and offers a very different gaming experience. Still awesome.

Edge of Sanity is a quality Lovecraft-themed sidescroller. Doesn't break any new ground but it's high quality - looks great, well-written, plenty of action. Embrace the trauma.

If you're a fan of nostalgic adventure games, check out Crimson Diamond. It leans very heavily on Laura Bow (one of my favourite adventure games from the time) for inspiration.

A murder mystery presented faithfully as a graphic adventure with text parser in gloriously garish EGA colours. A touch tedious at times but has an interesting story & characters, well-written.
