Helheim Hassle smashes together disconnecting your body parts with Vikings (because they are so in right now) in a quirky puzzle platformer. But is it a classic of the new Norse genre or does it all just fall apart? The Finger Guns Review.

Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town (PC) Review – A Pirates Life For Me
Willy Morgan and The Curse of Bone Town is both a beginners Point and Click, and a homage to the greats. But is it also a classic, or should it be confined to Davy Jones’ locker? The Finger Guns Review:
Spitlings (PC) Review – I Spit On Your Goop
A Space Invaders-like puzzle party game, where you spit to shoot, and must catch gobs of spit in your mouth to re-use. Sound gross? Be grateful then that its also lots of fun. The Finger Guns Review:
Fight Crab (PC) Review – We Don’t Talk About Fight Crab
With physics-based claw control, Fight Crab is an arena brawler pitting you against the crustiest fighters in all the sea. But can its novelty save it from the abyss? The Finger Guns Review:
Ageless (PC) Review – Tale As Old As Time
With its large pixel graphics and platforming, Ageless is clearly homaging Celeste, right down to the lead character suffering with depression. But is it as immortal as that indie classic, or tragically destined to die an early death? The Finger Guns Review:
Get Back In Your Cel – 9 Games Breathing New Life Into Cel-Shading
The second title for this was, Why Cel-Shading And Hoverboots Go Together Like Chocolate Chips And Mint Ice Cream. I don’t know, but they do. A list of new cel-shaded games on the horizon and strangely how many of them are directly influenced by Jet Set Radio and Breath of the Wild.
Othercide (PS4) Review – Lock Up Your Daughters
With its creepy cool design, Othercide certainly demands a second glance, but is it all flashy Sin City style over substance, or is there a game to kill for under there? The Finger Guns Review:
Ghost of Tsushima Review – All The Colours of the Wind
The last big first party release of the PS4 era, Ghost of Tsushima combines an achingly beautiful world with tight cinematic combat. But is it the swansong that the PS4 deserves, or just another open-world paint by numbers? The Finger Guns review:
Radical Rabbit Stew (PS4) Review – Kitchen Boy Strikes Back
A ridiculous ricocheting rabbit rush, Radical Rabbit Stew is an old school platform puzzler with the ingredients of a great meal. Rabbits, fun and a seasoning of humour. But is it a recipe for success? The Finger Guns Review:
Towaga: Among Shadows (PC) Review – Flash In The Pan
Towaga: Among Shadows is both a one-stick and twin-stick shooter across two game modes. It certainly looks pretty with all those laser effects, but is it any good? The Finger Guns Review.
