    Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact
    Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact is the series' first globally released game and brings fun 3v3 gameplay with strong presentation and solid training tools. However, it's held back by questionable design choices like awkward offline modes, a lack of motion inputs, an 8-button control scheme not friendly to arcade stick/hitbox users, and no cross-play. It's completely out of step with modern fighting game standards, and while the game does have potential, it needs major updates to fully satisfy both casual fans and competitive players.

    VARLET
    VARLET feels like a hollow, disappointing waste of time. While it has just a few redeeming qualities, such as the charming cast, this is not enough to save it. The narrative is boring, the combat system is dull and uninspired, and as a result, I honestly don’t think it’s worth spending your time on. I greatly appreciate the effort from FuRyu to make this a worldwide release, but I hope the company’s next game is of higher quality.

    Tamagotchi Plaza - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Tamagotchi Plaza is a charming game with characters that are cute enough to hold their own. However, the mini-games leave much to be desired due to repetition, and the time it takes to complete shop upgrades can leave you drained. Unfortunately, this is a disappointing title for the beloved Tamagotchi series.

    Code Violet
    Code Violet is the worst game I've ever played. The narrative lacks any substance, and all of the characters are devoid of any personality. Further, all of the female characters are written to be mere objects designed for nothing more than sex appeal, which goes double for the protagonist. The gameplay and presentation are also extremely lifeless and boring, with neither having any redeeming qualities. Considering the game is $50, all I can say is this: do not buy this game.

    Madoka Magica Magia Exedra
    Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is a gacha game that retells the story from the two anime series based in the world of Madoka. However, a disappointing story presentation, fully automated gameplay, and lack of reasons to gain new characters make this title just another anime-to-game adaptation among a sea of them.

    BAD END THEATER
    Bad End Theater is a uniquely dark and clever visual novel where every decision changes the outcome. With over 40 tragic endings and a cast of layered characters, it rewards curiosity and challenges your assumptions.

    Return to Ash
    Return to Ash is a visual novel about being dead and being alone. It has a strong premise, but one I don't think it lives up to. My biggest issue stems from how short it is as when it finally starts to get interesting, the story is over. Still, it's a fine time, and there is one strong story route in here that shows it could be done with a little more time. I still think it's worth a try, just know you'll do everything in an afternoon.

    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World
    Nearly three decades later, the gameplay of Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World still holds up. And perhaps more importantly, it reminds us that there’s something timeless about a hero or heroine who never wavers in the face of danger.

    Star Soraight Fantasy: Magic to reach the sky
    Star Soraight Fantasy: Magic to Reach the Sky is a Metroidvania staring Tokino Sora. Fans of the Vtuber will find much to love but others not so much. On the other side it is a serviceable Metroidvania that doesn't excel in the elements. The game doesn't overstay it's welcome and the short runtime makes it so it never really falters. Still I can say the game is fine and the passion on display was at least nice to see.

    Ao Oni: The Horror of Blueberry Onsen
    Ao Oni The Horror of Blueberry Onsen is a horror game I have trouble recommending. While I have nostalgia for it I don't know if someone without a connection to the series will get much out of it. It's very short and has frustrating monster spawn rates. But even after all that I still had fun thanks to some clever puzzles and even played it more than once thanks to the new leaderboard. My issues with the original are still here but strangely endearing. Worth a play for fans of the series but your mileage may vary.

    Cash Cleaner Simulator
    Cash Cleaner Simulator is an attempt at the simulator genre that revolves around money and packing it. However, there is so much in this genre that it's hard to stick out, and Cash Cleaner doesn't do anything different to stick out in an already dominated landscape.

    Noctuary
    With many new additions and full voice-over, this is the best version of Noctuary. If you're into something of a unique genre-mix with fast fights and visual novel storytelling, this might be for you.

    Time Flies
    Time Flies is a short, whimsical monochrome adventure toward death. Like life itself, it’s what you do with the time you’re given that defines you. This fleeting, fly-sized exploration of mortality is not for everyone, but it's likely to at least charm and bring a few laughs to players.

    Tetris the Grandmaster 4: Absolute Eye
    Tetris: The Grand Master 4 -Absolute Eye- is a great way to play Tetris. It helped me rediscover a love for Tetris I once had and for the first time I'm trying different control schemes and modes. Sadly the game is still in a buggy state and needs some work. The dev team is listening and communicating with the player, and I do have faith these issues will get fixed even if it might take a while. Even after all that I can still recommend it and this will be the version I continue to play.

    Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute
    Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute emulates the game well enough but doesn’t add anything extra as other similar remasters provide. If you are a fan of the Assault Suit series, this will be an instant buy. However, newer fans may find that this release isn’t what they would expect, especially from a re-release.

    The Hungry Lamb
    The Hungry Lamb is not a long visual novel, and I was able to finish it in close to 10 hours. The game has some issues, but it’s still a satisfying read worth experiencing. If you aren’t sensitive to the subject matter, you will be greeted with a compelling narrative about survival and redemption. The art is a treat, even if I wish there were more. It’s not perfect; the story has some serious pacing issues, and it made me take a couple of breaks. With all that, I’m glad I finished The Hungry Lamb: Traveling in the Late Ming Dynasty and can still recommend it, faults and all.

    ORDER 13
    I have mixed thoughts on ORDER 13. On one hand, it falls short of its premise and sometimes feels repetitive. But I also enjoyed exploring the warehouse and even had tense moments. Having the cat is nice, but they need to do more with it. The game is short but the right length, and I enjoyed playing it. After everything, I can still call this an enjoyable experience, even if it falls short. ORDER 13 is a fun time, even if I wish it did more, and I’ll keep an eye on whatever the developer decides to do next.

    Never 7 - The End of Infinity
    Never 7: The End of Infinity still has some charm all these years later, but perhaps it hasn't aged so gracefully. Messy pacing makes what would be a relaxing experience an often tedious one. Fans of classic visual novels and anime who don't mind the older aesthetic and simplistic story could have a great time, however.

    Blue Archive
    Blue Archive stands out as a gacha that respects both time and intelligence. Blending mature storytelling with accessible tactical combat, while its resource systems keep F2P viable despite the steep pity. Region locks and limited variety hurt it, but in a very problematic genre, its player-first design makes it easy to recommend.

    Grit & Valor: 1949
    In the end, Grit & Valor – 1949 proves to be a good example of what you would want from a modern roguelike with a dieselpunk flair: fast-paced, challenging runs for in between, but enough depth for hours of gameplay. It’s a game that proves sometimes it’s enough to combine familiar mechanics with a clear aesthetic concept and a lot of playful subtlety to create something enjoyable.

    Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra
    DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA is a fun and addictive free-to-play 4v4 team battle game that combines the rich history of Dragon Ball with MOBA elements. Players can take advantage of a respectable roster of characters from across the Dragon Ball universe to battle it out online, and there are also plenty of features that let friends play each other with a variety of options and features at their disposal. Despite some of the roster omissions at launch, there's a solid foundation for a game that could keep Dragon Ball fans entertained for years to come.

    TROLEU
    Troleu will make you reconsider any life ambition of becoming a trolleybus conductor, as you deal with passengers in unconventional and comedic ways. But there's not enough replayability to keep your attention long-term.

    Cladun X3
    Cladun X3 is an action-adventure RPG that has a lot going for it. The systems are overwhelming at first but are quite fun when you get used to them. You can customize everything in the game from you character, to the weapons, to even the music. There is plenty to do from randomized dungeons to even online elements. But the last couple hours of the game are a chore that show how much the rest of the game needs some serious balance adjustments. I still had fun with the rest of it, but I don't see myself going near the last couple dungeons ever again.

    Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage upgrades Virtua Fighter 5's single-player offers with the fun and rewarding World Stage mode and implements cross-play to keep players engaged in one large player pool. Despite some matchmaking issues, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage brings a compelling suite of online features, including Ranked matches, to keep players engaged with another avenue of fighting game content.

    PowerWash Simulator 2
    On the surface, PowerWash Simulator 2 isn’t a bad game. If you played a lot of PowerWash Simulator and you want more, then this is a must-buy for you. However, considering that the sequel is more of a re-do of the first game rather than a brand new experience, and seeing as more updates will be released down the line, you may be better off waiting till a discount or a major DLC is released.

    Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition
    Natsume is trying to position Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition as a beginner-friendly farming simulator, which isn’t a bad idea on paper. However, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Special Edition should have been bigger, bolder, and braver when trying to establish a presence in the genre. Instead, it ends up as an unpasteurized version of itself, which is hard to recommend when other juggernauts occupy the space.

    Kingdoms of the Dump
    Kingdoms of the Dump is a wonderful RPG held back by some glaring technical issues. Despite this, it still stands tall among other indie RPG throwbacks over the last decade, deserving the attention of anyone looking for a cozy game to envelop themselves in this Winter.

    Simogo Legacy Collection
    Retailing at just $14.99, there is more than enough here to make it worthwhile. Device 6 and Year Walk are easily worth the price of admission alone. Additionally, Simogo has included prototypes of earlier versions of its games, an audio drama, a short story collection, and a ton of concept art to peruse at your leisure. There is more than enough here for those interested in the history of Simogo.

    Old School Rally
    Old School Rally is a great arcade-style racing game that has a pleasing PlayStation 1-era aesthetic and fun, addicting gameplay that's easy to pick up and play. The game pays homage to the sport of rally with several unlicensed cars that strongly resemble their real-life counterparts, so players aren't missing out on car variety. Although it's not innovative, Old School Rally is a joy to play for racing game fans.

    The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike
    The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike is an interesting game. Its core gameplay is a fun mix of strategy, deckbuilding, puzzle, and roguelike game elements. Battle mode could be fleshed out more, but it’s still a good time even if it is short. The core fights are fun, but they get paired with uninteresting minigames and subpar rewards. As an adaptation, established fans will probably be happy, but I don’t see it making new ones. While I have some problems after all that, this is still a fun time that feels very satisfying at times. I would recommend giving The Fable: Manga Build Roguelike a shot, just for how it nails the feeling of reading a manga you like. You might not play it much longer after that, however.
