Games that I played and that I think you should play:

Cracking The Cryptic

Sudoku. I’m surprised I haven’t posted any of these yet (other than Simon Tatham’s Puzzles, I suppose.) This is basically an almost complete mobile version of Sven’s SudokuPad (Steam, Web) and it does a really good job at all the stuff that you need to tackle really tricky puzzles. While this specific app doesn’t allow…

Hi-Fi Rush

Rhythm game? Hell yeah! Wait, spectacle fighter hybrid? I never would have guessed this combination would exist. So you’re a rockstar with a busted up arm, and go get it replaced with a robot arm so that you can shred guitar. Except shit gets wild and suddenly you’re wanted by every damn security robot on…

Toem

Super cute game about adventuring around several locations and helping people to collect stamps and make progress. Huh, that sounds familliar… Oh but in this one your primary mode of interaction is with your fancy camera that comes with an optical zoom!

Lucifer Within Us

A short little point and click detective mystery game set in a sci-fi futuristic world. You play as a Digital Exorcist trying to solve three increasingly complicated murders. There aren’t any interrogation minigames, quick time events, or required decisions, leaving you with quite an open detective system based on listening to testimony, gathering evidence, and…

RAVON

Back into my mobile rhythm games folder, RAVON is a game where you have 15 (or 24) square inputs on the screen, and notes will move towards one of those squares where you have to tap them to pick them up. Sounds a lot like a certain other square grid based rhythm game, but unlike…

Buck Up And Drive

If you’ve ever played classic sega racing games like OutRun or Super Hang On, this will be right up your alley. It’s a back to form classic rally racing game, except this one comes packaged with a huge massive important DRIFT button, and quarter circle bullshit.

Sky Factory 4

So Minecraft, amirite? I did say I’d do one of these eventually, but I don’t really know how to tag or categorise it, so uhhhh, time for a ‘Mods’ category, I suppose. Anyway, you’ll need Minecraft for this one, of course. Skyblock is a genre of map/modpack where you start from a tree on a…

Zachtronics Solitaire Collection

I’ve talked about several minesweeper games, but time for a twist, Solitaire. 8 of them, in fact. All with their own theme and twists. You might have played some of these variants if you’ve ever played a Zachtronics game, but if there are any you’ve missed, you’ll want to pick this game up.

Discolored

A short little point and click puzzle game. Some of the puzzles are a tiny bit obtuse, but my partner and I solved it in 2-3 hours without a walkthrough or anything. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.

Happy 2023

For those who have been with me through December, while I attempted to pad out my catalogue, thank you so much, but the content is gonna slow down a little bit now. I’ll aim to put out 1-3 reviews every 2 weeks, but I’m not going to hold myself to that strictly.

Pokemon Legends Arceus

This. Oh my Arceus, just, this. This is what Pokemon has wished it was for the last 25 years. None of that bs railroading, none of that “oh you must catch one Pokemon then you know everything about it.” This game does so many things right and so many things that the franchise has needed…

Rotaeno

Did you know, that in terms of arcade and mobile gaming, rhythm games as a genre are the most innovative? Like, you have games with knobs, games with levers, 2D input areas, mashups with entirely different genres, and now, games that utilise the gyroscope in your phone.
