Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days.

If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.

Downwell’s one of those games that seems so simple. You’re dropping down a well, you have guns attached to your feet, and you shoot anything that moves below you.
