Single-player or multiplayer: Single-player | Free to play: No In Still Wakes the Deep, horror comes in multiple forms.

Gameplay in Still Wakes the…

Multiplayer: Y | Year released: 2019 I was on the fence about Astral Chain from the day the first trailer came out until a good few hours into my playthrough. It all felt a little too generic, almost a paint-by-numbers rendition of an action game.

Read our full Astro Bot review Astro Bot is a gorgeous 3D platformer with an adorable protagonist, dozens of planets to explore and a wide range of ultra-satisfying mechanics to perfect. It requires patience, awareness and a high degree of platforming skill, though resets are generous and failure doesn't cost anything other than your time.

Many of…

Read our full Stray review If you love cats, you’ve got to play Stray. If you don’t, Stray might change your mind. It’s a short, fairly simple game that excels at atmospheric detail. You control a little stray cat who gets separated from his crew and tossed into a creepy, retro-future city.
