The highly anticipated Forgotton Anne finally released last week. It also claims the position of our most highly rated review of the week, followed closely by Spacejacked.

With a distinct Studio Ghibli style, Forgotton Anne is a must for the indie gamer looking for something genuinely refreshing. Check out our review to get an understanding of how it rates so highly.
