The G515 Lightspeed TKL doesn’t have the metallic build of its bigger brothers, but carries over much of what makes them brilliant, including the beautifully swift-feeling low profile keys and that reliable Lightspeed wireless connectivity....

Qanga is a space exploration game set in a loading screen-less solar system. It features ship travel, combat, trade, and base building, and you can do all of it alone or with space mates. It’s got a demo , but it’s also on the cheaper end if you fancy buying into early access....

Rain World is getting a new DLC starring the mysterious Nightcat The Watcher is “coming soon” Image credit:Videocult I still think of Rain World as the beautiful, brutally hard game about accidentally going down tunnels butt-first and being crushed to death by weather, but it’s grown and expanded a lot since its release almost seven years ago. It’s about to grow again with a new DLC: The Watcher. Rain World: The Watcher teaser trailer....

Roadside Research is like if Lethal Company were a game where you’re a poorly disguised alien running a gas station Area nifty-fun Image credit:Cybernetic Walrus Let’s start this one with a definition: Lethal Company is “one of those kinda games.” By that I mean it’s a four player co-op title that doesn’t really adhere to a particular genre, predominantly prioritising mechanics that allow you and some friends to get up to some shenanigans....

Sandbox sequel Supraworld gets loose release date, bringing its shrunken hero to early access this year Little by little Image credit:Supra Games “Honey, I shrunk the first-person puzzler. Twice.” This is how I like to imagine the designer of Supraworld explaining the hijinks that unfold in his life.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is less of a PC hardware-killer than it looks Still a toughie, but nothing some optimised settings can’t fix While I’ve always thought the race towards graphical hyperrealism isn’t as pervasive as it’s often perceived, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is definitely one of those games.

Image credit:Silent Chicken I’d initially assumed that puzzle game Sliding Hero counts was a Sokoban-like, until I realised that it’s actually you, not endless boxes, that do the sliding here. Still, I wasn’t entirely convinced. The only thing that’s fun to slide back-and-forth indefinitely is a lounging cat on a smooth kitchen worktop. Still, after messing around with Sliding Hero’s Steam demo , I think this one might have much longer legs than its restrictive-sounding concept suggests....
