A mix of modern and old fashioned arcade sensibilities come together to make this shooter surprisingly addictive.

Chase high scores, blow up bosses, and upgrade your blocky little spaceship. It’s fun, it’s fast, and it’ll keep your fingers busy for a good few hours before you get bored.

Warlock’s Tower

A super retro puzzle game that looks like it was lifted directly from the screen of a Gameboy. And you play as a mailman, which is pretty cool.

Work your way up the titular tower, sticking within the tight move limit and avoiding all the awful traps and enemies that stand between you and the top.

Fire Emblem: Heroes

It might not be to everyone’s taste, especially if you’re a fan of the more traditional entries to the series, but this is still a good casual RPG.

Fight battles, recruit heroes, and work your way through an epic story. Or if you prefer, take the fight online in some rather excellent PvP.

The Frostrune

A gorgeous point and click adventure with a focus on Vikings. It’s moody, it’s gloomy, and every part of it is just lovely.

There’s a mystery to solve, and various things to get to the bottom of. And the game is well made you’re going to savour every second.

Glitchskier

A game that sticks doggedly to its guns and makes the most out of its title. It’s a scratchy shooter with a super hardcore edge.

And it’s presented like you’re in the middle of a crashing computer system. It’s sort of hard to explain but trust me, you’re going to want to give this one a go.
