20. Not as good as I'd hoped it'd be.

19. Bloody great. No further notes.

Surprise surprise, I loved Powerwash Simulator 2

Bus Bound preview: A satisfying simulator | Loot Level Chill Exploring Emberville and building the transport network is satisfying thanks to great driving mechanics that don't get too bogged down in sim elements.

Docked preview: A port worth calling at? | Loot Level Chill Building an entire game around using cranes sure is a bold choice, but does Docked scratch a very specific simulation itch?

I loved this and can see myself playing it for many more hours!

Chilling out driving the 2.00pm Plymouth to Exeter St David is a very relaxing way to spend your evening, and one I'd recommend to anyone

Might I suggest Baby Steps?

18. A difficult game to play, it feels deeply personal to the developer but despite enjoying it mechanically, the constant barrage of pseudo-philosophical ponderings and questions grated on me very quickly.

I haven't tried it but I check the devs X account now and then and haven't seen any update

This genuinely makes the Switch 2 so much more usable.

17. Baby Steps is a work of art. One that nearly destroyed my sanity and the triggers on my ROG Ally, but the story and commentary are genuinely unlike anything I've played before.

Buy it, play it, hate it and then fall in love with it.

Ah that's a shame, it's quite a "bouncy" game with the way the character moves so could definitely have made you feel a bit ropey.

16. Was pretty excited for this as it reminded me of Firewatch, and while it's got a good story it just drags on far longer than this kind of game needs to be.

It was also a very frustrating experience at times due to bug after bug, most hampering my progress 😭

Enjoyed this much more than expected!

15. I'll play anything from the Journey/Abzu people and this absolutely deserves the scores it's getting. Beautiful game, fantastic music, another incredible score from Austin Wintory. And it's available on PS+ too!

14. Review incoming for Herdling, but unfortunately I liked it a lot less than I expected. It's infuriatingly slow at times which undermines the emotion you're supposed to be feeling.

It's hard to get too choked up about your herd when they're moving at a glacial pace and stumbling over eachother

I loooove the look of this, can't wait to play it 🤓

13. MakeRoom was a cute little diversion. Nice to play after a busy day at work, and very nice to look at.

Was so excited to cover this and pleased to say it's bloody great 😁

12. Game of the Year, probably the generation and probably one of the best games I've ever played. The best story Kojima has ever told too.

Everyone should play this (and DS1 ofc)

11. Dear Me, I Was was a difficult game to review, and even more difficult to weave the name into sentences without it looking weird.

It's basically a sadder Florence and I'm here for it.

10. Played this while tucked up on the sofa on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and would recommend you do the same.

9. Everyone should play Wheel World, just be prepared for the soundtrack to burrow into your skull like a little synth pop parasite.

8. Slowly but surely finishing some games this year. Gaucho is another one I played for review and there are worse ways to spend a few hours.

This is my idea of a very nice day out
