I try to support more thoughtful, independent developers as well as enjoy mainstream violent shooter type stuff. But this kind of thing is a palate cleanser. The puzzles aren't too difficult or unfair, the atmosphere is really haunting and rather beautiful, and (I'm near the end) the levels each...

RiME didn't exactly have the smoothest of times from its initial announcement to its release. Surfacing as an intriguing adventure, catching the attention of many – myself included – to then disappearing for about two years, and reappearing under a new publisher; the game's rocky road will...

Beautiful world; Enjoyable exploration; Simple yet effective puzzling and platforming; Emotionally affecting story

It was a bold strategy of Tequila Works to reacquire the rights to Rime from Sony after their funding had made it a PlayStation exclusive. It's one which should pay dividends and serve gamers as a whole because Rime is absolutely a darling title which deserves to be played by all, rather than just...

Short but interesting plot and stunning graphics

After years of delay, this beautiful-looking indie game is finally finished – but is it really as unique as it looks

None of those puzzles are very difficult or original, and the platforming is even more straightforward; Mishandled storytelling, and a general lack of challenge or context
