Frog Detective, Edith Finch and more are all going cheap in Steam's Mystery Fest

Youll need to scan the crime scenes to collect word-based clues pointing to whodunnit, whytheydunnit, and howtheydunnit. Golden Idol leaves all the juicy detective work in your hands. No wonder it was one ofRPSs favourite games of 2022. The game can go in some wildly different directions, but Overboards light attitude always keeps things fun. Theyre simple games, but the deadpan dialogue and absurd scenarios make them consistently funny. What more do you need?...

Atomic Heart review: a mad science experiment that yields mixed results

Of course, Atomic Heart was not made by several teams. Its the debut game of just one, Mundfish, and as a first attempt its impressively ambitious. For the motherland, yeah? The Irrational inspiration is clear. Like I say, its ambitious, and a lot of the time it all works quite well. All the components for a great shooter are here, then, but there are problems. The first is that Atomic Heart stretches out certain encounters far too long for its own good....

Birth review: a comforting puzzle game about death and decay

A cosy conversation about mortality Solo dev Madison Karrhs point-and-click puzzlerBirthreally caught me off-guard. Its themes are heavy, but the game could not be more light-hearted. There are also some physics-based… scenes? Theyre not really puzzles, but rather fun, clumsy interactions. The shopkeeper didnt seem to mind my antics, though. Its something Ed also picked up on in his brief meeting with Birth atSummer Games Fest.

Company Of Heroes 3 review: a glorious comeback for this WW2 RTS

That’s not to say Company Of Heroes 3 is a one-sided power fantasy, of course. Or at least that’s true of its many, many real-time mission maps. These secondary objectives feel wonderfully organic, too. And exactly the kind of thing I’d have hoped to see from this grand strategy component. I suspect part of this may be down to a gaggle of lingering technical hitches. I was also impressed by the lack of repetition in its plentiful supply of skirmish maps....
