    RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business
    RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is a lot of fun. I honestly did want more RoboCop, and that’s exactly what I got. Sure, you don’t get to ticket cars this time, but you do get to resolve disputes between neighbours and tell punks to make your day! I just wish that it didn’t have so many major issues.

    Mario Kart World
    Mario Kart World is an amazing-looking and sounding title on the Switch 2. I love all the new tracks and characters, though the way you unlock them feels unfair.

    Vessels of Decay
    Vessels of Decay is a great-looking, retro-inspired game that is unfortunately more frustrating to play because it’s buggy.

    Cosmic Wave is a fun time, with a nice story and progression system that keeps you coming back for more. It will kick your butt with various obstacles and tough bosses, but it is well worth it.

    Shuffle Tactics
    Shuffle Tactics is a good tactical roguelike that offers plenty of reasons to think ahead to combat The Glimmer. It needs refinement in places, but updates have done a lot to improve the game since its initial release.

    ANTRO
    Antro is a good soundtrack full of Spanish artists you should try out… that comes with a free game. Its message, while important, is played out like a song on repeat, and there isn’t much more substance past that. Just go get the OST.

    Through the Nightmares
    Through the Nightmares is a nightmarishly difficult, great labour of love, with the only thing stopping you from beating the game is your own skill and willpower. Just be willing to wait, use any knowledge you collect with each death, and don’t give up.

    Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

    Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree

    Leftovers KO!

    Dreamians: Card Battle
    Dreamians: Card Battle is fine enough, but is largely underwhelming. It lacks features found in other deckbuilders that smooth out the experience and just feels like it comes from the 2000’s era of Flash games, warts and all.

    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a great time for any fan of roguelites. It is, unashamedly, like Hades, but also a seriously fun time that I enjoyed almost every single moment of… aside from some of the glitches I ran into.

    PictoQuest is too complex for a newcomer to delve into and complete in one go, and too simple for veterans to find enough challenge in, but it offers a fantasy and RPG twist that's all too welcome in a tried-and-true puzzle that doesn't get explored enough at a price simply too good to pass up.
