Top Kickstarter Games this Week

Hi all, I've been away on holiday again, although this time it was more work than pleasure.  For the past 4 months I've been able to work on this blog alongside how I earn my living - as a freelance specialist technical writer working from home.  As of tomorrow though I'll be working full-time away from home for a couple of months.  This means the blog is going to be slightly neglected but I will be aiming to do just my Top 5 Kickstarter Games every week, either on a Monday or Friday.

After that rather long-winded explanation, here are my Top 5 Kickstarter Games of the last week or so:

(To note - I've omitted Yooka-Laylee because it has absolutely smashed its target and really doesn't need my help!)
