Somehow, Earth has survived another circle around the sun, which means that me and the other writers at Jump Dash Roll played some really good games. See which ones we liked the most below!

#SouthoftheCircle is the latest game from #StateofPlay that released with almost no #Advertising. Is it any good though? Find out below!

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

#SouthoftheCircle is a narrative-driven adventure set in the Antarctic. Will it give you chills? JDR wraps up warm for today's review. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiegaming #narrativegaming #StateOfPlay

#SamuraiRiot technically released in 2017, but it has a new update and some new features. Do these things mean it's worth playing for the first time (or second, if you're the guy who beat me on the leader board)? Find out below.

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

#SamuraiRiot Definitive Edition takes the 2017 game and updates it for PC and Switch. Is it worth a side-scroll? JDR slashes its way through today's review. #WakoFactory #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames

I've played more #Arma3 than I have every other game I own combined, but will the same be true for #ArmaReforgerGamePreview? Find out below.

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

Do you like Arma? Here's another one which might be for you - if you're new to the franchise however, perhaps not. We explain in today's article at #jumpdashroll

#ReadyOrNot released about six months ago, and recently I became ready to #review it. But is it any good? Check out my impressions of the #SWAT4 spiritual successor below!

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

#ReadyorNot has been in Early Access for half a year and aims to challenge #RainbowSix and #COD with a more realistic approach to gameplay. Jump Dash Roll kicks a door in for its initial impressions. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

[Derek Johnson @derekjphotog]

#WorldWar3 (the game, not the possibly world-ending event) is a spiritual successor to #Battlefield that's going #FreeToPlay soon. But is it any good? Check out my impressions of the upcoming #FPS game below

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

#WorldWar3 is an upcoming free-to-play #FPS with its eyes on expensive rivals like #COD. Jump Dash Roll unloads an arsenal of words and presents its first impressions. #WW3TheGame #FTP #Farm51 #gaming #gamingcommunity #WW3

#WeirdWest is definitetly weird, but is it any good? Check out my review of #Wolfeye's latest game below.

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

#WeirdWest is a Western #RPG and immersive sim. Is it quick on the draw, or destined for an early grave? JDR pulls on its boots for today's review. #wolfeye #gaming #gamingcommunity #PS4 #XboxOne #PC #pcgaming

#DayZ is getting an update soon, and you should try it out, because it's actually a pretty fun game now. Check out the details below.

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

Update v1.17 of #DayZ is out next week, promising major changes to the 9-year-old game. JDR runs fans through what's new. #survivalgame #DayZGame #ARMA2 #BohemiaInteractive

[Derek Johnson @derekjphotog]

I've reviewed more than my fair share of #pointandclick games while writing for @JumpDashRoll, but this one has a much cooler setting than those. Is it any good? Check out my review of #Norco from @RawFury below!

[Jump Dash Roll @JumpDashRoll]

Norco is the point-and-click genre brought back to life. It also happens to be set in the 80s when the genre perhaps first came to life. Is it more Back to the Future than Howard the Duck? JDR points at and clicks today's review for the answer.

I never knew I could relate to a dog so much.

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Panko. Welcome to the most embarrassing moment of his life. He’s spent countless hours trying to scrub this video from the web. 14/10 sorry buddy
