    With a surprisingly long length, All of Us Are Dead is sure to be worth your time and your money if zombie apocalypses, visual novels, and charming —if not slightly dark— coming-of-age stories are your kind of thing.

    Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning has some great chemistry between the two protagonists, a new take on the apocalypse, and tons of laughs to have. Just beware: it's very edgy!

    HELLDIVERS 2 is worth going through hell to experience its gameplay and world, but server issues and glitches will rain on that campaign. Still, there’s nothing quite like diving in, feet first.

    Sovereign Syndicate is an enjoyable tale of three people, murder, revenge, and redemption. Though the lack of voice acting and minor bugs may keep some away, if you’re in the market for a good story and an interesting mystery, I recommend giving it a try!

    While it’s better than it could have been, it also could have been much more. As a live service game with an unfinished main story, I wouldn’t feel bad about waiting for more content to drop over the coming months before you pick it up.

    Witch’s Rhythm Puzzle is a fun rhythm game with a silly story and entertaining music to time your block placement along with. If you like Ecchi-style games, this is going to be a title to check out!
