Gibbon: Beyond the Trees – Switch review

Retro Faith0
Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a short game that aims for simplicity over complicated mechanics. You play as a gibbon family that go on an adventure. You swing and slide through forests, human towns and other areas. The developers have subtly placed a good message about animal conservation through clever level design and you are asked to think on the plight of the worlds animals. There are only three buttons

Amazing fan-made LEGO Star Wars diorama based on game

Sparky0
Within the new LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game, the episode selection screen shows dioramas of key locations within each film. One LEGO fan has carefully reconstructed the Episode II Attack of the Clones diorama into a real-life LEGO re-creation - and the result is outstanding.

SILT – Preview

Sparky0
Developed by Spiral Circus Games, Silt immediately evokes similarities to Limbo or Inside, being another surreal puzzle-adventure game in a monochrome hand-drawn world. You play a diver, alone in an underwater abyss, with the ability to possess the aquatic creatures around you, solve puzzles, and allow progression further into the darkness. Like Limbo, the game is also devoid of dialogue, but the mystery and not knowing where you are or

Paul Morrison0
Fans of Defender-esque shoot 'em ups who are pining for some humanoid-rescuing action on their PlayStation or XBox consoles should be thrilled to learn that Jetboard Joust is now available. Previously released on Steam and the Nintendo Switch, the game is a surprising sequel to 1989's unremarkable ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 release, Skateboard Joust.
