Vesper
Gorgeous visuals can’t mask the emptiness of Vesper’s levels or the perfunctory nature of its platforming.
Encodya brings an atmospheric, cyberpunk feel to a well-worn genre, but with a mundane plot and puzzles, it fails to capitalise on its setting.
Super Meat Boy Forever is polished and glitzy, but the gameplay switch-up feels like a backward step from the addictive nature of the first game.
Three great games — plus two potentially great games when played in person — equals one seriously strong chapter of a very polished franchise. Jackbox Party Pack 7 really does have something for everyone.
CrossCode is a wonderful throwback to 90s RPGs, meshed with the modern sensibilities, gameplay and story that players expect from today’s titles. Old-school Zelda fans will adore it, as will anyone who loves a satisfying blend of action and narrative.
Inmost
Haunting and striking in equal measure, Inmost strikes a balance between narrative and platform-puzzler that mostly succeeds for the entirety of its short running time.
Creaks
Familiar puzzle-platform staples are polished to a high sheen in Creaks. It might not break new ground in the genre, but no-one can tell a wordless story quite like Amanita Design.
Superliminal will challenge and confound but never punish. Pillow Castle’s debut is inventive and occasionally mind-boggling, a short but engaging feast for fans of optical illusions and lateral thinking.
A Fold Apart is a short, touching puzzler with a timely message at its heart.
A lovingly animated and clever point-and-click which, despite issues with pacing and signposting, is still likely to capture many hearts.
Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it’s riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.
