Former Deputy News Editor Ed Nightingale praised its stunning art style and engaging turn-based combat, describing it as a “brilliant RPG” that appeals to fans of traditional gameplay. His enthusiasm was evident as he noted the game’s capacity to evoke nostalgia for those yearning for classic RPG mechanics.
The Riftbreaker, released in October 2021, has also received positive attention.

He emphasized the game’s dynamic nature, which encourages players to remain active and engaged, creating a thrilling experience that keeps the tension high.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure stands out as one of the more notable releases in this bundle. While it received a three-star rating from former Editor in Chief Tom, he acknowledged the game’s strengths, particularly in its latter half, which offers increased replayability. The opportunity to reconnect with the character Max after all these years added a nostalgic touch, even as the debate over the necessity of a sequel continues.
INDIKA has made a strong impression as well, with Matt awarding it a 4/5 star rating. He characterized this third-person adventure as a “confident experience” filled with style and thematic depth, although he noted that some puzzles could be more innovative.
Among the standout titles, Citizen Sleeper 2 shines with a five-star rating. Bertie commended its advancements in the RPG genre, particularly its clever writing and innovative mechanics. The game’s acknowledgment of failure as a possibility adds a compelling layer of engagement, making it a must-play for RPG fans.
Shifting gears, Construction Simulator invites players to operate licensed heavy machinery, offering a unique perspective on large-scale construction projects. Meanwhile, Hell Clock introduces a hack-and-slash ARPG set in post-war Brazil, promising fast-paced combat and roguelike elements. Lastly, Overlooting rounds out the bundle with its inventory management roguelite RPG experience.
