☆ Review: Shu - "A platformer so good, you’ll be floating on air" ☆ #Gamedev #IndieGame

Game: Shu
Platform Reviewed: Nintendo Switch
Developer: Coatsink
Rating: ICE COOL

There have been a lot of video game releases recently for the Switch and I’ve noticed a fair few of these are ports from Steam from several years ago (Crimsonland for £15, anyone?) of varying quality and so coming across a game like Shu which has clearly being loving ported with attention to detail and also at a very impressive price (£7.69 at the time of writing) is a genuine breath of fresh air. 

A platformer that feels familiar but with its own unique twists, Shu is a golden addition to any Switch owner’s collection.

☆ Review: Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn "A Beautiful Nordic Nightmare" ☆

Developer – Angry Demon Studio

Platform reviewed - PC (Steam)

Rating – Ice Cool

I know what you are all thinking after reading the title of this video game, but no, it’s not about a group of men from Yorkshire walking around, singing religious songs and refusing to excuse people’s faults.

Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn is a horror game set somewhere in Scandinavia and voiced entirely in Swedish with English subtitles. Considering its status as an independent game, it has extremely high production values and approaches its story with a keen eye for pacing and scares.
