Overall, Wondershot is an adequate release on Xbox One and Steam, and one that you should at least get your moneys worth on.

Alone and helpless, abandoned in space with only one clear mission – return to Earth.

Not the first (or the last) alone-in-space game to reach our screens, Corpse of Discovery works hard to create not just a game but a story that will affect players in a big way. In some ways it succeeds, and ...

Submerged, a newly released Indie game, focuses on themes of exploration and ...
