REVIEW Overboard – A murder mystery sure to make a splash — This game surprise launched last week from what I can gather. It's a project born out of Covid-19 lockdowns, and made by a small team in just five months — the result is "an engaging ode to both choose-your-own-adventure stories and the murder mystery genre at large".

REVIEW Mighty Goose — This arcade run and gun shooter is short but has "plenty of pixelated nostalgic charm and honk humour".

PREVIEW Mario Golf: Super Rush has boss fights and a thunder-summoning sword — It's wild that it has been so long since we last got a home console Mario Golf game — the last was Toadstool Tour for the GameCube. Anyway, this preview reveals some neat RPG elements to this installment, which is out later this month.
