    Hacknet: Labyrinths does everything the base game only better and harder. There are new tools and more story to look forward too, but it ends up just being more Hacknet, not that that’s a bad thing.

    A quiz variant that does some interesting things, but doesn't provide enough content to keep the party going.

    When players learn it all, Ruin of the Reckless makes for some frantic roguelike fun.

    Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls is a serviceable port of an already somewhat dated and niche title.

    Harvest Moon: Lil’ Farmers is a good first step for Natsume as they broaden the range of their Harvest Moon brand towards younger children and could benefit from an expanded sequel.

    One of the oddest VR experiences on the market that blends platforming with bouncy castle aesthetics.

    Plague Road’s visuals may tell an intriguing story, but the rest of the game has very little to say.

    Castle Story is a fun game but it does nothing revolutionary for the genre. Wait for a sale to grab it.

    If Super Metroid had pretty great procedurally-generated levels and roguelike elements, it would basically be A Robot Named Fight!

    Fight’N Rage easily deserves a spot alongside Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Final Fight, offering extremely satisfying action, sharp foes, deep movesets, solid music, and delightful punches.

    A neat game that would be better on mobile than literally anywhere else.

    My Lovely Daughter is a game that shouldn't be missed by fans of point-and-click games and especially those who are into horror or macabre themes.

    While it is not for everyone, if you enjoy the tactical tank genre and can look past some bland maps, Armored Warfare is well worth your free-to-play hours.

    Sausage Bomber is Light-hearted, hilarious, and full of addictive chain reactions.

    Dadrector’s Cut gives a little bit more spotlight to what Dream Daddy does well but doesn’t undo what the game has never been able to get right.

    Rapture Rejects offers style over substance, capturing the feel of Cyanide and Happiness without working out the issues that style carries.

    Die-hard Atari fans probably already have the third volume of this compilation but for everyone else, they’re probably better off sticking to some of the earlier releases, which feature more familiar titles for the less initiated or casual player.

    Die-hards may love these new stories with their beloved cast, but anyone else may find Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash’s story lacking and weak.

    Grave Keeper fits well with a free-to-play model but adds nothing to justify its new cost.

    Copy Kitty is a fountain of content and fun, giving 2D action fans a unique synthesis of old concepts they don’t want to miss.

    Castlevania Anniversary Collection is a vital collection of the games that made action and horror the genres they are today.

    Despite the negative stigma surrounding early access games, Second Hand: Frankies Revenge, manages to overcome those expectations and deliver a fun experience.

    While not being the scariest horror game of this year by modern standards, Worse Than Death is a game that feels personal and terrifying at the same time.

    Puzzle and strategy game fans are guaranteed to enjoy their time with Quench. I can only, however, recommend the PC version of the game, as the Switch iteration, ultimately feels gimped in comparison.

    HORGIHUGH is a cute, approachable shmup with a loveable hero and some handy weaponry.

    Ruthlessly charming to a degree that renders minor quibbles negligible [insert alligator joke].

    SpellPunk VR’s magic fizzles out from barely-working controls and limited engagement to keep players coming back after the first time. [Early Access Score = 50]

    The Mafia Trilogy is, at the very least, two pretty good games and one not very good game for the price of one game. It’s certainly got a lot of content for the price, and there is plenty of fun to be had, if you’re into the very specific thing that they’re selling. I may be being too harsh to the second game here, but it certainly doesn’t help that the company it keeps make it look so much worse by comparison.

    Second Extinction disappoints as an unoriginal multiplayer dino shooter with an uneven difficulty, unbalanced weapons and mind-numbingly repetitive missions. [Early Access Review Score = 60]

    Strife Veterans Editon is a great addition to the Switch’s library of classic releases. Although it might not live up to the likes of Skyrim or any other contemporary RPG, the title still holds up surprisingly well for a 1996 game that utilized the Doom engine.
