Reviews of Team17 Games
Plenty of bugs

Mini Review Conscript (Switch) - A WWI-Themed Love Letter To Resident Evil, Minus The Scares
Atten-hut!

Set during World War I, you’re faced with something more feasible and realistic than any of the aforementioned beasties: the horror of war. Yes, the enemies here...
Review Blasphemous 2 (Switch) - Bloody, Brutal, And Even More Brilliant Than Its Predecessor
A right rollicking resurrection
We're big fans of 2019's Blasphemous, The Game Kitchen's exquisitely dark and gory action-platformer that saw players assume the role of The Penitent One as he faced off against the eternally damned Denizens of Cvstodia. With top-notch hack-and-slash action, grotesque bosses, an intricately animated pixel art style...
Review Moving Out 2 (Switch) - More Creative Couch-Throwing From Your Favourite F.A.R.T.s

Fortunately, SMG’s sequel has stepped up the Packmore property ladder, its...

"It is a very firmly anti-AI sort of game"
I first caught wind of Date Everything! last year, when an animated trailer showcased a dating sim unlike anything I'd ever seen.
