Untitled Goose Game is a honking masterpiece of chaos and charm. You’re not just a goose; you’re a winged agent of petty mischief, armed with nothing but your wits and an unstoppable honk. Who knew tormenting villagers with a stolen carrot could feel so rewarding? It’s the perfect blend of stealth and silliness, proving that sometimes, the villain is just a very determined bird.

Rock Simulator 2 is boulder than ever! This game really rocks—literally and figuratively. From the moment you start, you watch rocks sit - stand - whatever - and do absolutely nothing. It's a gneiss break from high-octane action games, offering a sedimentary pace that’s strangely addictive.

The graphics are pebble-perfect , with textures so realistic you might find yourself mistaking your screen for a quarry. And the soundtrack? Solid. Every crackle and crumble of the wind is music to the ears of any aspiring geologist.

Sure, some might call it a bit stone-faced , but that’s just part of its charm. You’ll come for the novelty and stay for the grit . Overall, Rock Simulator 2 is a real gem. It’s hard not to take it for granite .

10/10 A true cornerstone of niche gaming! 🪨

This is not just a game—it’s an experience, a hauntingly beautiful dive into the lives, loves, and losses of a cursed family. Rarely does a game touch the depths of human emotion as this one does, weaving storytelling and gameplay into a poignant tapestry of memory and mystery.

From the moment you step into the Finch family home, the atmosphere grips you. The house itself feels alive, each room a lovingly detailed snapshot of a life cut short. As Edith, the last of the Finches, you uncover the stories of your relatives, each narrative told through unique and innovative gameplay mechanics that reflect the personality and fate of its subject. Whether it’s the joy and innocence of childhood or the despair of adult struggles, every vignette is a masterclass in empathy and immersion.

What truly sets What Remains of Edith Finch apart is its ability to make you feel deeply connected to characters you meet for only a brief moment. It’s a game about life and death, about the legacies we leave behind, and about finding meaning in the fleeting nature of existence. It doesn’t shy away from difficult emotions, yet it never feels exploitative or gratuitous.

The music, visuals, and voice acting all come together to create a world that feels achingly real and heartbreakingly surreal. Each family member’s story resonates in its own way, lingering long after you’ve put down the controller.

This is a game that reminds us why storytelling matters, why the small moments in life are worth cherishing, and why video games are an art form. What Remains of Edith Finch is not just a tale of tragedy but a celebration of the human spirit. It’s a game that will stay with you, like the memory of a loved one, long after the credits roll.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a deeply atmospheric and emotionally charged narrative game that weaves mystery and melancholy into an unforgettable experience. While it grapples with heavy themes, it does so with a raw honesty that leaves a lasting impression on those who dare to explore its depths.

The game places you in the shoes of Nicole, who returns to her family’s remote Montana hotel after her parents’ death to tie up loose ends. What begins as a straightforward trip to finalise an inheritance quickly becomes a chilling journey into the past. The story unravels piece by piece, with every step through the eerily beautiful and snowbound hotel uncovering more of the dark truths about Nicole’s family, her father’s betrayal, and the titular tragedy of Rachel Foster.

The atmosphere is gripping. The isolated setting, combined with the howling winds outside and the haunting silence within the hotel, creates a sense of claustrophobic tension that mirrors Nicole’s emotional state. It feels as though the walls themselves are steeped in the sorrow and secrets of the past.

Where the game truly shines is in its storytelling. It doesn’t shy away from difficult or uncomfortable topics, asking players to confront moral ambiguity, grief, and the weight of inherited trauma. The voice acting is stellar, especially the conversations between Nicole and Irving, the FEMA agent who provides her only link to the outside world. Their relationship adds warmth and humanity to the cold, lonely environment, even as it, too, becomes tinged with unease.

The gameplay, while simple, serves the story well. Exploring the hotel feels like leafing through the pages of a diary, each room a chapter, each object a clue. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging players to soak in the details and reflect on the gravity of what unfolds.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is not an easy game to digest. Its themes are heavy, and some players may find certain aspects of the story unsettling. But that’s also its strength—it doesn’t flinch from portraying the complexities of human relationships and the long shadows they cast.

This game isn’t just about solving a mystery; it’s about understanding the impact of our actions on those around us, even when we’re gone. It’s a poignant, unsettling, and thought-provoking experience that lingers in the mind long after the final credits roll.

The Ghost on the Shore is a beautifully haunting narrative game that explores love, loss, and the passage of time with a quiet grace that lingers in your heart long after the journey ends. Set against the backdrop of the stunningly desolate Rogue Islands, the game invites you to unravel its mysteries through the poignant interplay of memory and connection.

You play as Riley, a young woman who finds herself stranded on the islands, accompanied by a ghost named Josh. From the moment Josh’s voice breaks the silence, you’re drawn into a unique and tender relationship, one built on vulnerability, curiosity, and trust. The bond between these two characters grows organically as you explore the islands, and their dialogue is as heartfelt as it is beautifully written.

The Rogue Islands are more than just a setting—they feel alive, their landscapes echoing the tragedies and secrets of those who once lived there. Every path you take, every relic you uncover, is steeped in the history of the place. The game masterfully uses environmental storytelling to immerse you in its world, allowing you to piece together the lives of the island’s inhabitants and the events that shaped their fates.

What sets The Ghost on the Shore apart is its emotional depth. It’s not just a ghost story—it’s a story about the weight of the past, the longing for redemption, and the human need to be remembered. As you navigate the choices Riley makes, you’re confronted with questions about forgiveness, legacy, and the connections we leave behind.

The visuals are breathtaking, capturing the wild beauty of the islands with a painterly aesthetic that feels both ethereal and grounded. The music and sound design are equally evocative, enhancing the game’s emotional resonance without ever overpowering the experience.

At its core, The Ghost on the Shore is a quiet reflection on life and the marks we leave on the world. It’s a game that doesn’t rush you, instead asking you to slow down, to listen, and to feel. It’s bittersweet in the best way—a story that embraces both sorrow and hope.

This gravity-bending platformer has you guiding your sticky-footed protagonist across walls, ceilings, and everything in between. It’s a brilliant concept executed with charming visuals and creative puzzles. However, if you're like me, severely right-left confused (especially while upside-down), prepare to experience what can only be described as an existential directional crisis.

One moment, you're confidently strolling along, and the next, you're dangling off the edge of a platform because you mistook "right" for "upwards-left-but-now-down." Every puzzle feels like an IQ test where the questions rearrange themselves mid-sentence.

Youropa is a journey worth taking—just don’t forget to pack some extra patience and a post-it note reminding you which hand is which.

If you've ever wanted to play as an overconfident gun-wielding cat, a demolitionist bird, or an otter with a thing for alchemy while blasting your way through procedurally generated chaos, then Gunfire Reborn might just be your new obsession.

The gunplay? Satisfyingly crunchy. The abilities? Wildly fun. The difficulty? Oh, it's spicy. You’ll breeze through the first level thinking you're a sharpshooting legend, only to get absolutely obliterated by a boss whose health bar looks like it was sponsored by a marathon.

Multiplayer shines here, too. Whether you’re carrying your underperforming friend through the chaos or collectively panicking when the boss starts phase two, the camaraderie is real.

Is it perfect? Not quite. The RNG can sometimes feel like it’s actively plotting against you, and occasionally you’ll wonder if the enemies have read Sun Tzu’s Art of War while you’re fumbling with your grenades.

But overall, Gunfire Reborn is an addictive, chaotic romp that’s easy to pick up, hard to put down, and even harder to master. Just remember: every death is a learning experience. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself after dying for the 37th time. RIP.

At its core, The Magnificent Trufflepigs is less about gameplay mechanics and more about the quiet moments that emerge from them. The act of sweeping the detector across fields, hearing the tantalising chirp of buried metal, and then digging up an object mirrors the process of uncovering buried emotions and memories. It's a beautifully restrained approach that draws players into the characters' emotional landscapes.

While the gameplay may appear simple, this minimalism allows the narrative to shine. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging players to soak in the serene environment while pondering the unfolding story. Some might critique the lack of traditional “action,” but the game’s strength lies in its ability to engage without distraction—a rarity in modern gaming.

Overall, an experience that gently excavates the small yet profound truths about human connection, nostalgia, and the pursuit of meaning - a reminder that sometimes, the greatest treasures are not the ones we dig up, but the ones we discover within ourselves and in the connections we forge with others.

TREE explores the profound connection between a boy and the tree he plants. Through simple, yet evocative, visuals and a minimalist approach, the game tells a heartfelt story of growth, change and the passage of time.

Pico Park 2 isn’t just a puzzle platformer—it’s a chaotic social experiment designed to answer one simple question: How much do you actually like the people you play games with?

At first glance, the game seems harmless.

• Cute little cats? Check.
  
• Simple mechanics? Check.
  
• Cooperative puzzles that seem straightforward enough? Double check.
  BUT don’t let the pastel colours fool you—this game will have you side-eyeing your best friend because they once again refused to move the key to the right spot and yes, that friend is me !
  
  The levels themselves are clever, sure. There are moving platforms, synchronised jumps, and plenty of brain-teasing obstacles. But the real challenge isn’t the puzzle design - it is your friends.. It is that one friend, lets call him C, that keeps stepping on the bombs. It is your other friend, lets call him K, who ensures that friendly fire will kill off the entire team, before we even reach the boss or hogging the key, in an endless pursuit of 2v1 match Grrrrr..
  
  In conclusion, Pico Park 2 isn’t just a game; it’s a friendship litmus test wrapped in adorable chaos. Play it with friends you trust… because victory isn’t about solving puzzles—it’s about surviving each other.
