Take a look at our video game reviews for an expert analysis of some of the best and worst video games we get our hands on. We’ll always finish a game before writing about it unless it’s a complete disaster and isn’t quite finishable.
SCHiM is a cute platformer on the surface where you play as a little spirit leaping between shadows in a colorful world. While it may only look like that at first glance, it has an underlying story too. This gives life to SCHiM’s simple world that often follows a monochromatic color scheme.
Anger Foot’s goofy name perfectly encapsulates the ridiculous action game that it is. Right from the start, the Violence Gang of Shit City steals your precious sneakers. In an anger-fueled rage, you’ll kick through countless doors and thugs to get them back. While also encountering toilet humor at every chance.
Children of the Sun wastes no time revealing the unsettling atmosphere that developer René Rother crafted. You can feel it in the grungy art style, aggressive music, and abnormally creepy cutscenes.

Quest Giver reverses the typical RPG setup by having you play the role of an NPC giving quests. As you experience different scenarios, you’ll have to manage your heroes and properly assign them quests. If you misstep, you may lead them to their death and inevitably, get fired.
The SteamWorld developers show time and time again that they can pull off any genre they attempt. I’ll never stop being surprised by their ability to excel across each one. SteamWorld Build is another great example of how well they continue to develop their universe but this time as a city builder.
