Review: Riven is a masterful remake of the original sequel to Myst

The Riven remake is an expert modernization and expansion to the original, bringing its gorgeous worlds fully to life.

Still Wakes the Deep delivers you the thrills and tension of its collapsing oil rig rollercoaster with fine precision.

While Deep Beyond is gorgeous to look at, the story it tells is slight and superficial.

For aficionados of stealth platformers, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is certainly easy to recommend.

If you’re looking for a narrative adventure which is stylishly pushing the genre forward, Indika absolutely delivers.

Highwater has some good writing and atmosphere, but the light exploration and turn-based battles don’t feel particularly engaging.

Alone in the Dark certainly lives up to being the best game in the franchise since The New Nightmare in 2001.

Sixty Four merges an excellent visual style with a solid upgrade path and interesting meta-narrative to provide a satisfyingly addictive time-sink.

Kerbal Space Program 2 is much improved since first released, but still needs further work before it will properly make it into orbit.

Gareth runs down his gaming highlights and some lowlights from 2023.
