Punishing bosses, brutal mechanics and controls that took a while to master - 2022's toughest games had all these and more.
The Entropy Centre is a surprisingly great game with well made puzzles and unique ideas, though it could have done with some much needed modern features.
This month sees a number of high-profile titles launching, from the long-awaited God of War Ragnarok to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Developer Stubby Games' first person sci-fi puzzle adventure title has a concrete launch date, ahead of which a demo has also been made available on Steam.
The last couple of months might have been a dry spell for major game releases, but the upcoming months are stacked with games worth looking out for.
The Entropy Centre is due out for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One sometime in 2022, though a specific release date hasn't yet been announced.
