Mini Review Morsels (PS5) - This Gross Little Roguelike Is Tastier Than It Looks
Pet food
Morsels is one of those roguelike action games that feels impenetrable at first, but once you start learning its obscure language, it becomes more and more rewarding. You play as a mouse trying to fight back against the tyranny of feline overlords, and you do so with mysterious cards that transform you into various strange creatures...
Mini Review LEGO Voyagers (PS5) - A Short and Very Sweet Co-Op Experience
LEGO on an adventure
LEGO Voyagers might be one of the most adorable co-op games you can play, and it manages that with just a few plastic bricks. Only playable in co-op with a second participant (it has Friend's Pass functionality, by the way), this is a short puzzle platformer in which you play a pair of tiny, living LEGO pieces, on a mission to...
Review Wheel World (PS5) - Open World Cycling Sim Is a Joy When It Isn't Chugging Along
On yer bike
Wheel World is an open world cycling title with a clear love for all things biking. While it's more of an arcade racer than some sort of bicycle simulator, it manages to capture the joys of pedalling like very few other games have. You play as the comically unbothered Kat, a silent protagonist who sets out on a quest to help Skully —...
Mini Review to a T (PS5) - The Most Joyful Game in the World
You're the perfect shape
It is borderline impossible to play to a T without a beaming smile plastered across your face the entire time. This is one of the most joyous, feel-good games on PS5, and all it takes is a teenager stuck in a permanent T-pose. From the Katamari creator Keita Takahashi and his team at Uvula, the quirky adventure is a bit...
Mini Review Lushfoil Photography Sim (PS5) - Deeply Relaxing Exploration Game Is a Sight to Behold
Oh snap
Sporting a fantastic sense of space and a clear appreciation for all things photographical, Lushfoil Photography Sim is a gorgeous indie escapade that's well worth checking out if you're looking to sit back and relax. The game's split up into a number of explorable locations based on real places of the world. There's no definitive...
Mini Review Wanderstop (PS5) - A Meditative Musing on Mental Health
Turning over a loose leaf
On first appearance, Wanderstop looks like your average wholesome, low-stakes indie game with easy-going objectives and enjoyable, soothing tasks to perform. While the game is exactly that, it layers on top a story that hones in on the central character's mental state, and it's an effective combination. Alta is a fighter...

Hands On Eating Everything in Sight in Wattam
Wattam matter with you?
In our Sayonara Wild Hearts PAX East hands on, we mentioned that another of the games Annapurna brought to show was Wattam. A curious title from Keita Takahashi, the creator of the Katamari games, Wattam is an utterly charming title that, to put it mildly, is incredibly bizarre. The gameplay demo starts with you taking...
