Mr. Sleepy Man is a title for fans of N64 games and is brimming with personality. There isn’t much direction, so you’re free to wander and cause chaos wherever you go.

Apopia: Sugar Coated Tale is a nice experience with a hefty number of minor bugs, but a story that more than makes up for it. The title is unique, funny, and sometimes dark and mysterious, so I recommend it for people who put story first when playing games.

Pieced Together is a lovely and wholesome game about friendship and growing older. If you enjoy gentle puzzles and heartfelt storytelling, you’ll absolutely love it.

An amazing display of passion and attention to detail wrapped up in a lighthearted and anime-like adventure! Call me Mei and Ducky's #1 fan.

Scott Pilgrim EX is just a really dumb, fun adventure through the streets of Toronto. Though it has some hiccups, you fall in lesbians with its combat, art direction, and writing.

Resident Evil Requiem is a game that uses the full history of the series and creates one of the most stellar gaming experiences I’ve come across for a long time.

This is barely a game, and not even the titillation is worth a curious look.

Ancient Farm doesn’t really have anything unique to it and gets boring and repetitive really fast. It also doesn’t actually deliver on the promise of taking place in Ancient Egypt, given there’s absolutely no life aside from the player and some animals.

Another great entry into the long-running series, Ys X: Proud Nordics is highly recommended, provided you haven’t played the original. For those who have, there just isn’t enough new content to justify paying full price.

A decidedly average racer that missed the mark of the hype that it had surrounded itself with before launch, but there may be potential for the title in future.

Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land is a successful trip down memory lane. It may be a short title, but it doesn’t miss out on charm, with an adventure that will delight players of all ages.

For a fantasy tavern simulator on console, there’s only a handful, and this one happens to be the best one I’ve played by far. Give it a try if you don’t have Steam and/or friends.

The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a bizarre and humorous game that traps you inside the subconscious of a burnt-out game developer. It is very challenging and rewarding at the same time.

Mewgenics is an eclectic, strategy-filled experience. I’ve never played a game that combines cat breeding with tactical, turn-based battles like this. It was worth the wait.

While it can be repetitive and the art style is a little generic, Temirana: The Lucky Princess and the Tragic Knights shines when it comes to world-building and the distinct storylines through each route of gameplay.

Craftlings is charming in many ways, from its retro style to its complex systems. However, it can be pretty frustrating to learn how everything works.

Cozy Caravan is one of the most unique experiences I've had, and it's elevated even further by the evident love the 5 Lives Studios pours into it.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure brings all the great features of mobile games while leaving behind FOMO, and it makes it one of the most cosy titles you can find on Steam!

The Perfect Pencil is a great metroidvania full of exploration, a rich story, and odd, hand-drawn characters that give the game a surreal feel you need to experience for yourself.

I Hate This Place has good ideas, but its execution misses the mark. A lacklustre story, not enough horror, and disjointed mechanics likely won’t appeal to survival horror fans.

Cairn is just really nice to play, with an emotionally gripping story and beautiful sights. You will struggle and get frustrated, but you will overcome whatever is in your way.

Don’t Stop, Girlypop! was unfortunately a miss for me, but it shows clear potential that some post-launch care could help it reach.

Core Keeper is a labour of love that continues to improve with each update, with Void & Voltage adding more for new and old players alike.

There’s nothing wrong with Kinsfolk, and the visuals and story are worth experiencing, but it’s brief, and there’s no reason to come back once you’re done.

Slick gameplay, stylish visuals and an interesting narrative with a timeless underlying theme of cooperation, respect, and understanding of each other’s points of view.

While Cozyrama is perfect for die-hard decorators, those looking for a cosy time may find that this game feels more like art software than a game. If you want to create dioramas, great, but if you want an immersive experience, you may be left wanting more.

A truly engrossing RPG, The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon is the best game in the Calvard arc yet and a must-play for series fans.

What else can you expect from Clicker Climber: Reverse Pachinko but snowballing numbers and intense difficulty that will keep you playing for hours. Pachinko has never been so addictive without losing or earning real money.

Bus World is made up of scenarios where the bus driver is the hero society needs when a nuclear plant melts down in your town, a volcano erupts during a tour of Iceland, or another eruption results in a beach town getting a wet slap from Poseidon.

A mish-mash of genres that blend well and give you a lot to do for the price of free.

INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road may have been years in the making, but it was absolutely worth the wait. A massive game with plenty to do, and one fans of the franchise absolutely have to play.

A fun, if flawed, hack-and-slash roguelike with very randomised, very long runs.

Morsels is a colourful yet gritty title where you play as a mouse trying to take down a league of evil cats. It doesn’t hold your hand, making it a fairly challenging experience.

Everything in Ultimate Zombie Defense is fine, but the gameplay doesn’t sell itself to solo players.

A silly, but mechanically one-note rhythm game that struggles to be more than the sum of its parts.

There are some minor issues, but Voidtrain is an adventure that you should experience.

FIND ALL: Christmas is an adorable hidden object title that offers many satisfying features. If you like the genre, pick this free-to-play entry up and open up the door to many similar titles.

Unboxathon is a short but sweet time, filled with tons of upgrades and things to unlock, but I’d rather play it on my phone than my PC.

While the mystery-solving gameplay falls short for those wanting a more complex puzzler, the well-written tale, great voice acting, and unique visuals are worth the dive.

An equally charming and disturbing clicker game, which doesn’t entirely transcend the genre’s pitfalls.

Kingdom of Night is a suspenseful game that looks and sounds great, with a creepy story that makes you want to solve the mystery of this town.

A game with loads of replayability and enough of a challenge to keep you having just one more go.

You’ll finish this in no time, and maybe get some Trading Cards and achievements out of it.

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a love letter to all Marvel fans. The game’s roster has classic and new heroes that jump into the beat ‘em up action. This title is so much fun.

Hunter’s Moon is worth facing Eldritch horrors for. It’ll lull you with nicely-voiced narration before digging its claws deep into you with its gameplay.

With fun co-op gameplay famous for its friendship-fracturing style, RV There Yet?’s Mabutts Valley is a thrilling experience that people who could afford to lose a few friends shouldn’t miss out on.

Dispatch is a well-written and innovative superhero comedy worth your time. From its charming team of heroes-in-progress to fun dispatching gameplay, it’s a title that’s easy to recommend.
