As a newcomer to the series, I was a little apprehensive when I came to play Out of the Park Baseball '19, but it definitely grew on me as I got to grips with it. I really enjoyed the match engine and ordering my players around!

Probably the best worm slaughtering game out there. A plethora of weapons, plenty of customisation options and a decent campaign mode - whats not to love?

Vib Ribbon was an interesting game. You controlled a wire rabbit and walked through a course which was generated based on the music that was playing. Pivvot is a game in a similar mould, though there are more varieties of obstacles and a character that is considerably less designed than Vib Ribbon’s protagonist – in this game, you are little more than a couple of dots with a line connecting you.

This is part of what makes Pivvot so enjoyable. It’s so simple, there are no stunning, high-def graphics to distract you from the game, nor is there a story to get bogged down with. You literally just have to guide a little balloon down a line without hitting any of the obstacles, while listening to some pretty fantastic music. The tendency of developers to make games all singing and dancing of late is not always a positive, as it can stretch the game a little too thin. Fixpoint Productions stayed away from that idea, took a very basic game and made it worth playing.

Imagine a cross between Sim City and Age of Empires, and you’ll roughly have thought of Banished. It’s a fantastic game which focuses on the survival of a group of nomads who have been exiled from their original villages, and you are tasked with helping them build a city of their own. It doesn’t have a defined time period, but it’s set in a “ye olde” time rather than in a more current or futuristic setting.

When you think of Square-Enix, your mind would probably conjure up thoughts of Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts, maybe for older gamers who remember Squaresoft, you’ll even think of Chrono Trigger or maybe even Parasite Eve. Most of these games are sold as role playing games, and it’s the genre where Square-Enix has really dominated over the past twenty-five years. It came as a bit of a surprise then, when I saw a paranormal detective game being released by the RPG titans in the form of Murdered: Soul Suspect.

With Mystery Masters: Psycho Train, Alawar have produced a game which is a fairly fun hidden object/puzzle game. You take control of a mother searching for her kidnapped daughter through a spooky and unsettling journey across many trains and train stations. You’re taken through magical scenes and tasked with completing dozens of puzzles to make your way closer to your daughter’s kidnapper. The controls for the game are very simple – it’s just the mouse. You can only click to move between screens, pick up various objects or solve a puzzle.

Early Access Review
So far in my various games, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’ve not done everything possible yet, and that can only be a testament to the amount they’ve managed to fit into this game in its early phase. I’ve been more of a hermit survivor in most of my playthroughs, going to other islands, hacking down the trees I find and pulling the logs back to my island, diving underwater and looking through the many shipwrecks that pollute the seabed and getting into fights with various sharks when the opportunity arises, which, since the last update, is very frequent and prove to be quite a challenge if you’re ill-equipped. The various ways the game tries to kill you is quite inventive, and to continue your journey of surviving can also lead you to some interesting situations – diving deep underwater while batting off sharks in order to find some antibiotics to cure your sea urchin poisoning, for instance.

Gunpoint is a very well thought out game. The artwork is simply stunning – the characters in the game are all retro-styled, but the environment is incredibly detailed. The buildings each have different layouts and challenges which make each map feel very different from one another. In addition to the foreground details, the backdrop to every level is a stunning image of a metropolis giving the impression of a more alive world that you’re a part of. All of this put together makes Gunpoint a very attractive game, and the best part is that it never feels cluttered nor difficult to navigate. It’s always clear what you’re going to do, what you need to do and what threats you need to avoid or eliminate.

The Detail has all the attributes to make a fantastic game. Crime noir, comic book art style and point and click adventure goodness all rolled into an episodic thriller. As soon as the first instalment of The Detail popped into my Steam queue, I watched the trailer, looked at the screenshots and before I’d even finished off reading the blurb about the game, it was already in my cart.

Early Access Review
The original Survivor Squad was a decent little game. It centred around a single man initially, then more as you met new survivors, who basically have to survive against mutants that have almost ended humanity. Most of what you do is go into buildings, fend off the squatting nasties and rifle through every cabinet, bin, chest or closet that you see. The variety in maps you could play in the first game was limited – but very challenging. When you completed a new map you felt like you had accomplished something, so it was the perfect storm of challenging and rewarding gameplay, with the scavenging element that appeals to the treasure hoarder in me.
