Unbound: Worlds Apart is the ultimate test of your platforming skills. Unbound precision Unbound: Worlds Apart is a challenging precision platformer from Indie studio, Alien Pixel. The Romanian team has grown from 2 people at its inception to now having a core of 8 devs now working on this title.  The game is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Summertime Madness Review

Puzzle games are oftentimes quite divisive. It's a balancing act. The art of trying to hit the sweet spot of just the right degree of challenge for the player whilst also keeping it fun, engaging, and compelling. Summertime Madness aims to master this balance whilst also exploring some salient themes like faith, love, despair, pain, and hope. A brush with Madness in Summertime Developed by the small Italian team DP Games, this port of the 2021 PC release is brought to console aided by the porting/publishing talents of the team at Sometimes You. The small install size of the game means it can be kept on console and used as a pallet cleanser between bigger titles. If you enjoy reading this review check out our other Puzzle Game Reviews.

Lacuna Review

Let's cut right to the chase. Lacuna on PS4/PS5 is glorious. This sci-fi noir adventure feels like a spiritual successor to Police Quest, one of my favourite Sierra Games series from the late 80's/early 90's. It builds on the tropes of the genre, pairs it with excellent writing and establishes its own spin on the point and click adventure.  Lacuna - Point The Finger Tiny German developer DigiTales Interactive released Lacuna on PC back in May 2021 and this much anticipated console release is published by Assemble Entertainment. Available on Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, this indie title comes in at 2GB install size on PS4.
