37. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
7th March 2017 - 4th September 2018
Huge open world tactical shooter. As a squad of ghost operatives, you are tasked with taking down a complete Bolivian drugs cartel using all the toys at your disposal; guns, gadgets and vehicles. What follows doesn't exactly fit the TC Ghost template as you barrel around the wonderfully detailed location, bumbling through heist, hijack and shootouts in a haphazard fashion. You do occasionally complete a mission in a sleek, professional style, and when you do you feel like a god. The game is a massive collectathon; guns, attachments, XP medals, data files... all filling out the map with icons needing to be cleared. The missions are not without their repetition, but it is a good game to dip into with friends and cooperatively clean up Bolivia. Not quite the this gen Operation Flashpoint I hoped it would be but good fun. 7
38. Tower of Guns
22nd September 2018
Described by its creator, Joe Mirabello as a 'lunch break experience', this short roguelike shooter sees you blasting through a series of random areas and boss battles. Designed to be played over many runs, as you buff your weapon level with each run enabling you to extend your run further. There are a set of perks that you unlock which can also alter each run to give you differing experiences. Quite a nifty little shooter, not something that lingers in the mind too long after, but a smooth blast at the time. 6.5
39. Westerado: Double Barreled
6th October 2018 - 7th October 2018
Like an 8 bit Read Dead Redemption, but unfortunately not as good. A wild west tale of revenge that starts off quite well but was spoiled for me by a frustrating end sequence. You must track down the murderer of your family by obtaining clues to his appearance, achieved by completing missions, these then reveal details such as hat colour, belt buckle and so on. The shooting controls are necessarily clunky, asking you to cock your revolver before shooting, but you also can only fire on the horizontal axis, which can make shootouts a frustrating experience at times. I figure this was a design decision, for better or worse. The hats for health system is a neat trick however, allowing you to shoot the hats off enemies and then pick them up to refill your health. Save for that rubbish end sequence, a decent retro inspired adventure, slightly spoiled. 6
40. The Park
25th October 2018 - 26th October 2018
A short first-person psychological horror. You play as Lorraine, searching for your son, Callum, the little shit who has run off into a theme park closing for the day. Upon entering the theme park, things quickly turn and the story plays out as you call out to your son and follow his voice, uncovering points of interest and intrigue along the way. Best played with headphones, the sound design really does work to get the heckles up, offering a few jumps scares along the way. The story is not award winning by any stretch, but does offer a journey that draws you around the theme park and keeps you invested towards its conclusion. 7
41. Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops
6th November 2018 - 10th November 2018
A port of the two Tiny Trooper mobile games in one package. This Cannon Fodder clone offers a pretty meaningless blast that neither excels nor offends. Guide your troopers around the map using twin stick controls, the game a great deal easier now than with the touch method employed on the mobile games. The missions repeat, pretty much kill and destroy everything, but with cute bobble head characters and odd cartoon cut scenes that clash thematically. 5.5
