Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Hands-On Preview - Taking flight
Monster Hunter Stories 3 makes a strong first impression with its first two chapters, showing off its more mature plot and vast locations.
HANDS-ON PREVIEW: Monster Hunter Stories 3
"Overall, I am finding Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection an engaging RPG that expands on the qualities of its predecessors, albeit without revolutionising quite as much as it perhaps should."

PokΓ©mon Pokopia Hands-on Preview - A new world of PokΓ©mon awaits!
PokΓ©mon Pokopia is a charming little town-builder set in the world of PokΓ©mon that has left a strong impression during my hands-on preview.
HANDS-ON: PokΓ©mon Pokopia
"...a game that focuses less on combat and more on PokΓ©mon interacting in the environment and being friends with one another does feel like a fun change of pace..."

Reanimal Review β The kids are not alright
Reanimal is more grounded, more abhorrent, and far more horrifying, and in a way, feels like a return to form for Tarsier Studios.
REVIEW: Reanimal
"...everything feels grander, more abhorrent, and far more centred around creating a deeply unsettling thought experiment that will stick with you well after the credits roll."

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check Review - Shambling security simulation
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a more-than-competent zombie border security game, inviting players to focus on the small details
Review: Quarantine Zone: The Last Check
"Quarantine Zone: The Last Check invites players to focus on the small details, providing enough strategic options and management systems to feel rewarding..."

Romeo is a Dead Man Review β Ultra-violence science-fiction
Romeo is a Dead Man is a loud and inventive action game that prioritises style and spectacle from the twisted mind of Suda51.
REVIEW: Romeo is a Dead Man
"It can feel very dated, but itβs unapologetic and unmistakably Suda51, and for the right player (you know who you are), thatβs more than enough."

RIDE 6 Review - Still in Pole Position
RIDE 6 stays true to its roots, but is also the most accessible game in the franchise to date. Still a sim but friendlier to new riders.
REVIEW: RIDE 6
"RIDE 6 is still the yardstick for motorbike racing simulation. This new entry takes all of the aspects that defined the previous title, but fleshes it out with an improved career with branching paths and challenges."

Escape from Ever After is a Paper Mario inspired RPG where you the hero must stop a big corporation from making money off fairytales.
